Ode To My Week

Controversial opinions I had when I was a new human:

-Pronouncing Tulips “too-lips” is both an inaccurate descriptor and also strange and therefore the way I incorrectly pronounce it (toodle-ips) is much better

-climbing trees is not setting a bad example unless you’re bad at it

-chicken nuggets dipped in chocolate pudding is good

-there is no reason to straighten my covers when I have no guests

-top sheets are evil and also useless

-calling outer space and the gaps between words and a general expanse all “space” is confusing

-the fact that the sun is so huge and yet the earth makes a hard shadow on the moon is very weird

-baby it’s cold outside and I love rock and roll are both creepy songs

I wanted to share smth that I’ve found helpful lately:

It’s not going to last forever.

You got fed something you’re intolerant to and feel like you’re burning? You will feel better eventually.

You have to go through a social situation you find scary? Eventually you will get to go home and sleep.

Your period pain is debilitating? It is a cycle, and the cycle will eventually end.

You have an interview? They’re what? An hour or two? You have the rest of the day to not be in an interview.

You have to go through TSA? It’s mostly just waiting in line and then like 2 minutes of apprehension. Then you get to leave.

Suffice to say, sometimes something is or is gonna suck, but that’s ok, because it’s going to end.

This too shall pass, ig

It doesn’t apply to everything ofc, but I still find it helpful for when it is.

Me: I am comfy with being called a girl since I have history with it and am used to being referred to she/her.

Also me: *internal gremlin cackling when smol child can’t figure out my gender*

It’s a beautiful day, and you are a horrible goose loose in the library

Feel free to theorize.

I mostly just made this person up for this Porter Robinson line, but I like her enough that I might make her a history

If gravity is tied to individual planets and space is basically infinite and there are no planes, how did we decide which side of the equator is up and how the planet was oriented in comparison to the others?

Do u like the scrungly whale I made out of boredom while sick?

It’s very obvious I have no idea how to embroider.

My sewing skills are for mending and finishing the end of a filled project only haha

My coworkers and I have a server on Minecraft.

Things have occurred. This is one of the tamer ones…

As opposed to the random hacker who loosed a wither on our property and was never seen again.

Multiracial culture

Am I the only one who has a complicated relationship with culture? My family is very mixed, being at most around 30 percent of any given ethnicity.

It feels impossible to participate or integrate all of my family’s cultures at once, but it feels like I’m picking and choosing if I don’t.

It also feels like I don’t quite fit in with any one cultural group, but I grew up with enough of multiple that I feel intrinsically linked…

Anyone else? Thoughts?
