as the colder months approach: i wish you all a healthy, calm end of the year. i wish you tasty cups of tea, comfortable clothes, warm beds, nutritious meals in safe homes, good music, new friends and unwavering health. you deserve good things now.
My dad was dealing with some mixed feelings so I told him “In therapy when something is too complicated to do a simple ‘pro and contra list’ we sometimes do an excercise where you imagine all these mixed feelings around a table in some kind of conference, letting each tell their bit and you leading the debate.”
and my dad didn’t really respond and just stared ahead so I kept preparing lunch. Until a few minutes later when he suddenly piped up: “I am having a bad time at the conference”
I too am having a bad time at the conference
Reblog if you too are having a bad time at the conference
I will forever respect Animorphs for tricking kids who are just really into animals to read a book series by going “Hey you, you daydream about what it’s like to be a dolphin or a bird or a wolf? Have I got a book for you!” and then slowly radicalizing them with 50+ books of “There are no winners in war. Whatever ‘victory’ you perceive comes at the cost of sacrificing your own morals and killing the part of you that is human. In the end you will resort to murder, torture and war crimes and the knowledge of what you have done will haunt you for as long as you live.”
I also respect the author for putting them all online for free

I-80 highway through Wyoming. nicknamed The Sisters, for the three sets of hills that create an optical illusion of the road rising into the sky
As a person who lived in Wyoming for 26 years, I am begging you not to romanticize I-80
I-80 is hell it is a wind-bound snow flurry death trap never go there i beg you. I grew up in Laramie it is not your friend
When we drove out to Portland in 2019, I-80 in Wyoming is where I was seriously and utterly convinced for multiple hours that I was going to die in an accident caused by a blizzard.
they’re already trying to change the narrative of the strike.
Keep an eye out for this kind of anti-union narrative spin in the coming days, especially when it’s sourced from Matt Belloni and similar (Belloni is an entertainment reporter who wrote a lot of anti-WGA, pro-AMPTP garbage during the strike!) Ellen Stutzman is chief negotiator for the WGA and knows what she’s talking about.
