so last semester, my new roommate, without consulting anyone else, put up these stupid wall stickers. and I had to live with em alllll year.

(ignore the tapestry, that’s mine)
so, end of the school year starts coming up, we’re gonna have to take the damn things down anyway. so I decide to have some fun with it.
on sunday, while roomie was away at work, I took the stickers off the wall and started cutting up the letters. and this was what she found when she came home.
this was just above the couch, the first thing you’d see upon walking in the door. and my favorite of all, in the corner where the couch met the wall:
the next day, while I was in class, she came home and saw it. and promptly began acting like I did not exist.
It was the greatest week I’d had since moving in.
but only a week. one day, I texted our collective roommate group chat that I was taking an online test, and that I’d need quiet for about 2 hours or so. and when I finished, I left my room to find bare walls where my art once was, and a ball of letters in the trash can.
so I fished it out. and left this.
but I wasn’t done quite yet. I fished out a couple favorites and put them back up in my room (partly bc I had gotten a bit attached to nut,)
now, you might notice that “tit” has lost its “s”. that s now serves a greater purpose:
forming the word “penis” that I hid on the wall behind the couch before I moved out.
suffice to say, that roommate hasn’t talked to me since.
I’m sorry but it’s literally impossible to ignore the tapestry
look if chiropractics have helped you then i think that’s great but i do think every chiropractor should be legally required to disclose the fact that the guy who invented it said he learned it from a ghost
This is fascinating and I love the part with the mushrooms and the worms if this really works but my favorite part is that we spent decades like “oh no….oil is soaking into fur and feathers….if only we had something that could soak up all this oil”
parents are so crazy because they can say the most fucked up shit to you when your brain is forming and it sets the tone for your whole adult mind set and then they forget about it the next day
Please remember that you do the exact same thing. Let’s give each other some grace and hope that we can work to heal each other.
40,000 years ago, early humans painted hands on the wall of a cave. This morning, my baby cousin began finger painting. All of recorded history happened between these two paintings of human hands. The Nazca Lines and the Mona Lisa. The first TransAtlantic flight and the first voyage to the Moon. Humanity invented the wheel, the telescope, and the nuclear bomb. We eradicated wild poliovirus types 2 and 3. We discovered radio waves, dinosaurs, and the laws of thermodynamics. Freedom Riders crossed the South. Hippies burned their draft cards. Countless genocides, scientific advancements, migrations, and rebellions. More than a hundred billion humans lived and died between these two paintings—one on a sheet of paper, and one on the inside of a cave. At the dawn of time, ancient humans stretched out their hands. And this morning, a child reached back.
this is peak trans culture because this would have been easier with very nearly any other guitar design but she just haaad to use one shaped like the letter e. Not afraid of a challenge. Respect.
I would like to add that their name is E, literally just the letter E, like they’re in a spy movie. As if that wasn’t cool enough already she went and got a guitar shaped like her name. Fucking icon.
