sometimes in the spring/summer I just go there to lay down on my picnic blanket by the pond and meditate listening to the frogs and birds and all the other nature sounds, and it's gonna be so much louder this year 🥹🥹🥹

and you know what? they wouldn't even be wrong, we have fully lost the plot with what politics is supposed to be as a country because 98% of our politicians truly do not speak for anyone but their own financial interests, and at least half of that 2% will be bribed/threatened out of it eventually.

a nine year old could tell you that if they were mayor, they'd want to make it safer to ride the bike, or make the bus faster, or that they'd wanna talk to everyone from all around to see what they need to be happy. that they'd kiss babies and shake hands and have parties for everyone in the street

obviously he's working extremely hard constantly, let's not discount that, I mean "easy" in the sense that a class of third graders could come up with ideas about how to be the best mayor ever and he's already doing like 85% of those things AND the things educated voters want!

one time, one of their owners was like "oh don't mind him he's not mean" and I'm like of course he's not lmao he's only doing this whole act for you!

it's really funny bc the same two dogs at different houses will come right up to the fence to eagerly sniff me and look for pets every time I walk past to go home but if their people are in the yard with them, they're auditioning for the role of big mean police dog in the new law and order episode

important to add: even in that pic with that much bundled up, it's wide enough to be used as a shawl and trails down to my belly button so my whole shirt that day has to be de-linted like I was holding my partner's long haired cat on my chest all night long. worth it tho when it's REAL brick out

like first of all good for her, second of all miss rama seems fashionable and in the know enough to find stuff secondhand/at a discount, and third of all zohran never once said he was poor? $450 isn't extremely outrageous for shoes for the most formal event of your life so far y'all wtf

you think it's bad trying to find a specific black t shirt when almost every t shirt you own is black? imagine that but you're sharing clothes with two other people with wardrobes just like that and only 2/3 of you live in the same place so even if you search one place it's still likely elsewhere

even if you're a thoughtless consumerist sheep who can't possibly force yourself to give a fuck about directly contributing to hardworking people being taken advantage of, at least try to care enough about not getting scammed to do a little research on what you're actually getting when you buy stuff

like no babysquirrel, you actually CAN'T get something even remotely close to that at like, the fucking h&m at the mall or whatever, so you need to either manage your expectations, shop used/vintage, or learn to make it yourself if it truly empassions you so.

like I cannot stress enough how maddening and distressing it is to me that some people treat the exploitation of highly skilled artisans in the garment industry with such frivolousness, and that's not even getting into the declining ability for consumers to recognize quality craftsmanship!
