The Medics That Help Out At Marching Band Tournaments Are Band Aids

okay but if there’s one thing i’ve realized from dan at pride it’s that since he’s come out he’s so….. happy. every single moment you see him, he’s full of pure joy. rather than cowering in a corner and being overwhelmed, he’s marching right down the middle of the street with a massive smile on his face. rather than ignoring the outpour of fans who can obviously see him because he’s quite tall, he more than happily walks out of his group and takes a moment to take pictures with them. hell, he even RAN up to a fan to take a picture as if he already knew them. he just seems as if this year he’s taken, and, eventually, coming out, has put a new spring in his step that’s allowing him to be so much happier both around his fans and in the world in general. living his truth with pride is truly making him happy, and that’s absolutely incredible to watch.

If it doesn't look like porn featuring a highly specific fetish, is it really an Unus Annus video?

Hufflepuff Moment #30

Hanging out with another fellow Hufflepuff is truly enjoyable. We discuss our innermost thoughts and true feelings with one another and get secret confessions off of our back if we’re comfortable enough. The best way to hang out tends to be over meals, or sharing a snack, but of not food related, a good romance or fantasy movie is just fine.

sorry everyone

Can we normalize doing nothing, please?

I work with kids. These kids are at my program before and after school, and then some of them have sports/dance/music sometimes all of the above before they finally go home, eat dinner, and go to sleep. Then rinse and repeat everyday, and games and more classes on the weekend, etc.

I’m all for extracurriculars, but this turns into the teen who is not only in the school play, but they’re on the newspaper, the football team, and seven different clubs. In college they take double the courseloads, and then once they graduate…what?

They work themselves raw because they arent used to downtime. They’ve been told they can always be doing something, and they don’t know how to relax. This turns into the adult that has anxiety because there’s nothing left to clean, the adult that desperately wants to watch that TV show but can’t force themselves to sit long enough for it.

Then they turn into the moms and dads who spend all their free time ferrying their kids to extracurriculars.

Like, these kids don’t know what downtime is? I told a kid I did nothing last weekend, and he looked at me like I was crazy. He asked what I was doing this weekend and I said “Probably sleeping, mostly,” and he actually gasped. Then he rattled off a bunch of things I could do, to which I had to stop him.

“No, you don’t understand. I plan on sleeping. I’m booked.”

“But you could–”

“Nah. I’m just gonna rest.”

It was as if I had said a bad word or something. I asked what he does when he gets sick, and he says he goes to practice anyway. I asked him what he does if he doesn’t feel like going, and he said he goes anyway. I asked when he takes time to rest, and he said when he sleeps at night.

Bring back lazy Sundays. Bring back Saturday morning cartoons. Bring back the idea of relaxing and soaking in your day before moving into the next thing. Bring back the right to breathe, the right to rest.

Bring back mental health days, and taking a break. Bring back taking a walk or watching a show or setting a timer to remind yourself to stop cleaning and relax.

If you’re running at 100% all the time with no time to recharge, then your battery is going to die spectacularly, and probably at the worst possible time.
