This place has been a lifeline in some extremely tough times, but unfortunately even it isn’t immune to human stupidity. If this is it, please come connect elsewhere - you’ll still find me under the AugustStarlight.

If hurting me doesn’t affect you…

Don’t ever say you love me.

Because love isn’t just words.
It’s how you treat me.
It’s how you respond when you know i’m hurting.

“All of the best-informed people are profoundly depressed these days” is exactly as ill an omen as you think it is.

Rest in peace, Anthony Stewart Head 🕊️. Here’s a clip of him as Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer performing a cover of Behind Blue Eyes by The Who. A beautiful performance that fans will never forget. 💙

I have a severe peanut allergy. Like actual EpiPen allergy, not “I avoid peanuts” allergy.

I hosted a dinner at my place last weekend and literally put in the group chat beforehand:
“Please don’t bring anything with peanuts/nuts into the apartment.”

Everyone reacted to it so I assumed it was fine.

My friend’s boyfriend shows up carrying this huge tray of satay noodles. I stopped him at the door and was like “hey sorry but I can’t have peanut stuff in the kitchen.”

He immediately goes “it’s almond butter.”

I looked at the container he brought and the first ingredient was literally peanut paste.

Then he starts arguing with me saying it was “cooked” and “there’s barely any in it.” Which already annoyed me because why are YOU explaining MY allergy to me 😭

I told him he couldn’t serve it here.

Anyway I go to the bathroom for like two minutes and when I come back he had put the tray in the middle of the table anyway and people had already started serving themselves.

My throat started getting itchy almost immediately and I think my face must’ve gone pale because one of my friends asked if I was okay.

At that point I was honestly so angry I just picked the whole tray up, took it outside, dumped it in the trash, and told him to leave.

And HE got mad.

He kept saying I embarrassed him over noodles.

Like no??? You brought peanuts into the apartment of someone with a severe allergy after being told multiple times not to.

Apparently I’m “dramatic” now according to some of his friends but idk I personally think risking someone’s health because you can’t handle being told no is way more dramatic.

“How did we go from paper straws to data centres?”

Because no one listened to the environmentalists who said unchecked corporate pollution was the bigger issue.

I will never, as long as I live, NEVER understand how they managed to convince so many people that simply wanting everyone to be safe and to thrive and for the planet to be healthy and protected is somehow an extremist, radical point of view.

[Laura Miers @LauraMiers]

The problem with people like me is I will raise the alarm & go there when it comes to pathogens & parasites. I will warn everyone over & over again on repeat without tiring—for years—but that’s where I make others uncomfortable, & so they break my spirit. People don’t like warnings & they don’t like the truth. It’s too much, I’ve always been too much. We are The Warners, The Cassandras if you will, & we’ve been steamrolled & abused so y’all can pretend everything is fine & kill off your families for billionaires. Even if you break our spirits, we’re going to continue warning you & reminding you we had a choice to do things different. This is why we are here. Have a nice day. Be kind. Don’t attack the people who care about all the humans.

[𝕊𝕒𝕞𝕞𝕪 @FromN5_]

People who repeat behavior you’ve already addressed are really just saying ‘fuck you’ to your face

[the saddest person who ever lived @grumpygremmy]

i can't lose any more friends, i have very few left, but fuck is it hard to talk to them and realize more and more how drastically differently we live our lives and how they do not understand or care that i am disabled & poor. it's just really lonely and painful all the time.

Have we considered not repeatedly infecting them tho

That last line....

[Aly C @AugustStarlight]

@JackieSeidel1 I think that’s why I’ve always defaulted to saying I’m “from Alberta” instead of “Albertan”, should someone ask. Probably because the “from” phrasing works for every province and territory, while the adjective doesn’t come as naturally.

Foreigners usually don’t ask anyway.

Remember when the pandemic hit and everything was remote? Work, education. Disabled people had been begging for those things to be remote for over a decade until non-disabled people needed them. Two years after, they got rid of it. They can accommodate, they just don’t want to.
