listen recovery is good and should absolutely be focused on it but if you need a break from it then please take it. i know being positive and always looking for ways to better yourself is important but from experience its difficult as fuck and it only makes it worse when you try to hold everything in. recovery is a long path and sometimes you hit some pretty low points. its ok to cry and say things suck when that happens and theres no shame in doing so. letting things out doesnt mean youve given up.
Yesterday, I stumbled on a forum dedicated to hate me, where people basically spend their lives spewing transphobic bs, obsessing over my body, making up stuff about me, sharing awful parodies of my work, etc. It really got to me, as Iāve been living with the knowledge that these people are constantly there, stalking each of my movements, for several years now.
I will never understand this kind of hate. I cried a good deal of tears. It was important. I need to feel in order to find the will and energy to create. I remembered who I do all this work for : us. The ones I call my family. My trans siblings. Thatās why my new book starts with āweā. Thatās why Iām announcing it in the urgency, as a memorandum for these troubled times and a reminder that we are stronger together, and that we need to be there for each other.
Classic Ninja Turtles, in order of my favorite to least. Canāt remember where I found these guys, and I canāt quite make out the artistās name. If anyone is familiar with their work, please let me know so I can credit them.
Wonder Woman greeting TāChalla with the Wakanda Forever salute, but forgetting what happens when she clashes her gauntlets like that
Accidentally blowing him through three walls, a car, and MāBaku
He is, of course, completely fine, but that was certainly not the greeting he expected from the suddenly VERY apologetic Princess
Bonus: TāChalla runs back to Diana and does the salute again, channeling the power from the improved kinetic absorption and redistribution on his suit, and launches Diana straight into the sky. They laugh about it later.
This is the wholesome content I signed up for
Further bonus: during a later team-up, the villain has TāChalla by the throat and is threatening to snap his neck if Diana comes any closer. She hesitates, at which point the villain laughs and asks if TāChalla has any last words. Of course he does:
āWakanda Foreverā¦ā
Diana just smilesā¦
The cross continuity friendship we deserveĀ
Someone made art!
You are forgetting that during the initial introduction Shuri is there recording it, and dying laughing the entire time.
My wife and I were were talking the other day and, I donāt remember what we were even talking about, but the idea came up that we would need an oreo for. I joked about getting one from my secret stash. This is where she made her mistake. She said āoh right, like you could have an Oreo stash without me knowing about it.ā
Iām sorry?
Thatās a challenge.
Oreos aquired.
Iām going to hide them in a super simple place at first
But be sure to follow this post while I chronicle all the ways and places I hide them and also how I plan on taunting her with cookies while she canāt find the package
She is out of the house for a moment so itās time to enjoy a few cookies
And find a new hiding spot
Hehehe
They up there
Normally Iām a Oreos with milk kinda guy, but Iāll take coffee if coffee is available
Now to hide them right under her nose
She never looks under the TV for anything. Tonight when we are watching Halloween Wars Iāll have a big dopey grin on my face
Time to up the stakes. It was fun having em here and hiding them around her while she didnāt know what was happening. Bit now itās time for her to be in on the game she is playing
Four cookies packed in her lunch. Game on
Iāve been cleaning house today and feeling like Iāve done a pretty good job. Time to reward myself with some delicious Oreos
Aaaaand put them where she would never find them in a million years
š
Got up early this morning and helped pack everyoneās lunch. Pulling a damn Oprah over here
You get some cookies! You get some cookies! Everyone gets cookies!
Then a devious idea struck meā¦
I put the remaining Oreos in a baggie to hide by themselves. Now to āhideā the package where it will probably be foundā¦
And pin the actual stash to the inside of the closet wall
If you two werenāt already married Iād beg you to marry her because you two are obviously perfect for each other and I love this post with all my heart
This guyās dopey grin at his success at hiding oreos is exactly what Iām here for
You like that eh? Well you are going to love todayās installment
Look at that. So sad. So few Oreos left
Guess Iāll just pin em right to the middle of the wall in the middle of the living room. Sheāll never find em there
Oh, guess I should put this back up
Bwa ha ha ha! You guys! You guys donāt understand! I was planning on doing this and when I got home and looked at it I was like āaww, itās too thin. They wonāt fit.ā I even TOLD my wife this and how I was disappointed that I wouldnāt be able to hide them back there.
But then I looked again. They dooooo
Thank you all so much for the love. I knew y’all would like this, but I had no idea you would like it THIS MUCH. People calling us āgoalsā and stuff⦠Manā¦. Itās kinda hard to take in ya know? Anyways: if this post gets Over 9000⢠before I get off work today I will pick up Halloween Oreos on my way home and this will not stop
