“Oh sweet, poetic justice. Kyrsten Sinema, the first openly bisexual Senator in U.S. history, has been sworn into office using a law book instead of a bible by Mike Pence today. #116thCongress #swearinginday”
i mean yeah it ends up in the sea but it’s been raining hard for days buckets are filling where does it all go? i’m thinking there are places where it never really gets saturated like it does here - accounting, i suppose for some of the trees and plants that grow here and not elsewhere they need this yearly saturation. but holy shit that’s a lot of water coming down
50+ millimetres of rain yesterday, god
Oh and I’m writing about You Tell Me’s debut record and god I love Field Music (this is a project Peter worked on and last year I interviewed David and he was the best). This record’s harmonies are sooo good which I always expect of anything a Brewis brother does. Plus the arrangements agh strings for days
I’m reviewing my first record of the year and already feel better than I have in days. Starting this job at the university has just spelled out that I could spend 20 or 30+ years in an office without windows writing social media posts about educational workshops for a living. And you know what, it would probably pay well and they’re a good employer. But I can’t let that happen because I’ve had a strong sense of what I want to pursue for a long time.
In 2019 I want the “why is no one talking about this??” irate attitude to die out, because there’s alway something bad going on in the world and, especially int he case of places like tumblr, people come here to get some respite from the news. Just because ‘no one is talking about it’ on your dashboard doesn’t mean people are ignorant, and frankly I’m tired of this perverse, guilt-trippy and manipulative way people have of sharing news. If you don’t see people talking about important issues - or issues important to you - then talk about them! Please, share them, but also be aware how unfair it is to talk to people like they’re uncaring of these issues. Also? It’s hard to keep up with everything. Stop having unrealistic expectations of people - especially within social justice leftist spheres - that everyone is clued into everything 24/7. The other thing is that often I find I don’t reblog or share things because of who might follow me and I have no intention of triggering them or - regardless of the good intention of sharing information - inadvertently subjecting them to something they might be traumatic.
All is quiet on New Year’s Day A world in white gets underway I want to be with you Be with you, night and day Nothing changes on New Year’s Day
I will be with you again I will be with you again
Under a blood red sky A crowd has gathered in black and white Arms entwined, the chosen few The newspapers says, says Say it’s true, it’s true And we can break through Though torn in two We can be one
I, I will begin again I, I will begin again
Ah, maybe the time is right Oh, maybe tonight
I will be with you again I will be with you again
And so we’re told this is the golden age And gold is the reason for the wars we wage Though I want to be with you, be with you Night and day Nothing changes On New Year’s Day
