as someone who has found so much of my identity/worth in my utility, I'm haunted by "Surface Pressure" and unable to stop listening to it. "I'm pretty sure I'm useless if I can't be of service." "Who am I if I carry it all?" I can't get it out of my head. Wrecked.
@shylyassertive 5 movies I’ve seen at least 10 times:
1. Young Frankenstein
2. Clue
3. Starship Troopers
4. Star Wars 4-6
5. Jurassic Park
This could be a substantially longer list but those are the movies that immediately spring to mind while waiting for this hearing to start.
Holy shit. @Lin_Manuel and @intheheights. We had to stop after paciencia y fe. This movie is unbelievable. Even knowing what’s coming hasn’t stopped the awe and heart-wrenching beauty. But that song and that sequence-there aren’t words enough or tears enough.
@rkschiz I'm first gen anything other than roughneck/tradesman and incredibly proud of how hard I worked to get here (and am just as thankful for the help I rec'd getting here). This is nonsense and folks need to find better things to do with their time.
When there aren't words, poets will find a way to articulate the groans and sighs of the (nation's) soul. Beautiful, profound, moving. @TheAmandaGorman
I’ve been practicing for the better part of a decade now and I still have the nightmare/irrational fear that they are going to call me and say I actually didn’t graduate law school or didn’t pass the bar.
Biden won’t be banning Christians, arbitrarily revoking the status of white immigrants here because of natural disasters, trying to sell off white populated parts of the country or encouraging police brutality against white people. Your disappointment is not oppression.
This one is hard. My best childhood memories (in a pretty tumultuous childhood) were watching jeopardy with my grandma. Sitting with her watching Alex every day was my safe space. Losing him and that continuity is like losing that connection to her.
I always thought I wanted wolverine or Thor’s superpowers. Now, after a month with a newborn, all I want Mantis’s ability to make someone go to sleep with a word.
