i made your favorite dish. i made you something you’ve never tried before. i love you. i spent twenty minutes chopping. my grandmother made this for me when i was little. i made this dairy free for you. i love you. i want to eat together. the onions made me cry. i love you. i learned this recipe for you. i love you. i made this special for your birthday. i love you. i know you don’t like peppers. i love you. i love you. i love you.

I don't really mind being on a creepy cursed ship where the captain is a tall hot middle aged man with some heavy traumatic past and a pair of beautiful sad eyes

Not gonna lie, wish I made this video longer. But oh my gosh is it calming

I honestly do not give a flying fuck what right wingers are about to say about Dr Who. Cos you know fucking what it was beautiful. The UK is full of transphobia at the moment and it's fucking terrifying. So that was all needed every last bit of that was needed. Every fucking moment. Because we exist and we need to be seen. And that scene in the kitchen with Donna and Sylvia my parents were sitting there nodding along because they felt seen. Because they have had to try so hard to get it right with me and my siblings and sometimes they fucked up but they found a way through. And us being like this is better than us pretending to be something we're not and they get that now. And there was a person in a wheelchair an actual fucking person in a wheelchair who was there for longer than 5 minutes and mattered. So I don't care what GB News and the Daily Mail and the Tory party have to say because I will always love this silly little sci fi show about dustbins with guns and metal people and an alien and their friend who do an awful lot of running. I will always love it. It has done what it has always done, it has made the people who felt alone feel seen. And to Russel T Davies and David Tennant and Catherine Tate and Yasmin Finney thank you, thank you so fucking much.

all i do is cry, read books, listen to music, and stare at the moon

Nothing to see here, just me over romanticizing everything in order to be happy

i dont know who needs to hear this but you dont constantly need to be buying clothes.

fast fashion is problematic because its unsustainable, not tailored to all body types, and fails to pay workers (mostly women of color)

thrifting too much is problematic because it deprives the lower class of “trendier” items. this happens because girls who can afford more expensive clothes are buying them, making minor adjustments, and marking the price way up on depop. its gentrifying thrifting and making it hard for the lower class to find clothes. yes thrifting overall is a nice alternative to fast fashion but it can be overdone.

the better option is to keep clothing for as long as possible and repair it when its damaged. accept hand me down clothes. if a piece is needed for an occasion try to borrow it from someone. swap clothing to prevent being tired of it. also i acknowledge my privilege that i can afford to make my own clothes, so i will. i will learn to repair and make clothing out of sustainable fabrics.

sustainability isnt a one size fits all. acknowledge your situation and figure out what works best for you. oh and stop selling items you thrifted and added glitter to for way more than theyre worth on depop.
