if shes your girl why is she calling “woohoo boys” off her balcony and leading me into her apartment and letting me sit on her bed and telling me the reason these expensive linens aren’t even soft is because sometimes things that are expensive are worse
sally: i named you perseus because your father was a greek god percy: my dad is poseidon percy: …so you named me after zeus’ kid? sally: thought it’d throw them off for a bit
Sally Jackson, after frantically researching Greek mythology for baby names:
I’m not saying that I dislike that weed has been legalized in more and more states (imo all drugs should be legalized but that’s not the point of this post)- I *am* saying that every time I pass a dispensary that looks like an apple store and I see white people talking freely about making special cookies and smoking in their spare time, all I can think about are the thousands and thousands of black people who experienced huge amounts of state-sponsered violence for even the suspicion of having weed on them and those who are STILL IN PRISON for possession charges.
And it. Just kinda makes me grit my teeth, you know? My father was illegally searched and brutalized in front of me when I was a little kid because the cop “thought he smelled weed” (he didn’t, my dad doesn’t touch the stuff) and in the mean time Becky in accounting takes a “special gummy” every night that she gets from a store next to the Starbucks.
unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.
