My Favourite Part About Resetting/starting On Tumblr Is When The Algorithm Knows Literally Nothing About

- A grandfather just handing me his grandbaby he was holding. I did not know this family. Apparently I was a big hit with the baby because he didn’t cry when I held him

- A woman on the side of the road taking pictures of the baby swans with a professional camera

- Sunflowers growing on the side of the highway

- Related ^ so much greenery there too!! Different plants and thistles and ferns

- The local bank selling tickets to the county fair

- Family got handed more corn today (08/03). I was walking by the neighbours house and he was cleaning his van. He stops and goes “yall want some corn?”

- A father helping his disabled son ride a bike

- On the bus ride home from the state fair (09/01), I took out some fidget toys. The little girl, six years old, sat next to me asked what they were. I told her they were toys, and she asked if she could play with them. I said yes. We had a conversation about one of the toys, a star-shaped one that was 3D-printed and rainbow coloured. She made a story about how it was a frog named Starry who could say his own name and jump really high and slowly. She also said he had “one thousand twenty-hundred thirty-seven legs.” Her mother was very polite, and the girl handed the toy back to me before we even got off of the bus. I told her that she would have to be very good until Christmas so she could get her own, since her mother had found them on the internet. She insisted on getting one that was rainbow coloured too

Things I Like Here.

So I moved from my childhood state a few years ago and I’ve been struggling with adjusting ever since, largely because of the drastic negative change in my social life. But life is beautiful, so I wanted to make a list of things I’ve seen since moving here that I couldn’t get back home! You have to appreciate the little things in life. I’m gonna periodically add more as I see them

- “The Oven Bus” which is just a bus with a brick chimney in it. I wanna know what’s going on in there so badly

- All of the sunsets here are beautiful without fail. Don’t matter what time they happen, even if it’s at 4, it’s beautiful. There’s so many colours in them

- The sign I drive past on the way to work that says “WALTZ IS FOR MURDERING THE UNBORN.” I don’t agree with it but it’s fucking hilarious to see, because it’s in the middle of nowhere

- Related, since we live out in the country now, the pro-life religious bulletins that have the most CGI looking babies on them. Like that baby is not real. Honey

- I almost got into an accident once because there are so many dogs down a 55 MPH road that I just kept looking at the dogs

- The church that has six doors outside on their lawn that say “GOD’S DOORS ARE OPEN TO ALL”

- The church that has a progress flag on its flag post and a BLM flag flying under it. I went there once and it’s full of old people. They were so kind. I want to go back there again

- The kind lady at the Chinese takeout restaurant down the road from us who stayed when the restaurant was empty so I could pick up my order. I wanted my brother to get it but he bailed last minute

- The grocery store down the street that my family has wildly different pronunciations of. It’s within walking distance. I’ve never had that before

- The man today who accidentally bought two tickets for himself. Instead of refunding one, he wanted to give away the other one for free

- The mall Santa I see around Christmas time when he’s on his break. Just walking around. High socks and shorts with a Christmas theme, he’s great

- The little girl yesterday who told me she would get a dog and a fish. When I asked her what she would name the dog, she said “Rainbow Pup”

- The parents who use they/them to refer to me. Even though I personally don’t use those pronouns and don’t like them when they’re used in reference to me, it’s a sign of progress

- The little girl whose parents I sold an annual pass to. I’ve seen her four times. She recognizes me each time and runs to give me a hug

- The toddler who tried to hand me her half-eaten cinnamon-dusted timbit when I asked her for a high five

- The kind people at KwikTrip who never look like they don’t want to be there

- My supervisor who shrieks whenever he walks by me because that’s how I greet people so he’s started greeting me like that as well. He’s an absolute truck of a man who looks like Thor

At the fair and there’s a younger band on stage rn and they’re in my age group and the singer is SO PRETTY and I’m having such a lesbian panic about it

This close 🤏 to making a cod oc that completely breaks everything about the universe just so I can make some stupid drawings that’s it that’s the whole reason

FUCK YEAH

I choose to believe that I am a mighty sturgeon. 

I WON MY FIRST 100x BATTLE!!!

Lake Superior hands down. I could go OFF on it

Beautiful lake, terrifying and mysterious. So so so much history both brutal and amazing, this motherfucker changes the very climate around it?? Crazy

Bonus points for sturgeon in there

Since people were upset I didn't include the great lakes in my last poll, here's another one

Sooooo fucked up that a morning shower can improve your day that much like what the fuck?
