“you might experience a slight tingling sensation”
[mikethelink is bleeding. mikethelink fell from a high place]
[the intimate scene in the fanfiction where my lover kisses each of my scars as I whisper what each is from]
"Fell down the stairs. Mosquito bite I scratched too much. Cardboard box cut. Burned on a tiki-themed appetizer tray. Mosquito bite I scratched too much. Oven rack. Mosquito bite I scratched too much. Mosquito bite I scratched too much. Mosquito b - "
“Her body is a map of scars, hardly an inch unblemished by a reminder of some hardship past: Not knowing the church potluck would be outside. Looking at her phone while on the stairs. Mowing the lawn. She still hasn’t told me how she managed to slit her whole wrist on that cardboard box, but someday when she’s ready to tell me, I’ll be ready to listen.”
“My eyes fall on a jagged white line across her palm, which I nearly overlooked. ‘And this one?’ I ask.
Her eyes cast away. For a moment, I think she won't speak. Finally, she murmurs, ‘The lid of the toilet tank broke in half but I just stuck the broken lid back on the toilet for weeks. Then one day when I was getting into the shower, the faucet knob broke, and I couldn’t turn the water off and then I hip-checked the toilet tank, and the broken lid fell off and through my hand, and I was naked and bleeding and the water wouldn’t turn off so I just stood there screaming for like five minutes before I could decide what to deal with first.’
Slowly, I bend forward and kiss the scar. ‘It’s beautiful,’ I tell her. ‘Just like you.’“
The most ironic thing about Labor Day is that the wealthiest people with the easiest jobs get the day off while actual working class people still have to go to work and serve all the richies on vacation.
If we actually appreciated labor every fast food restaurant in the country would be closed tomorrow, but instead it’s one of the busiest, most dreaded days of the year for service employees.
mutuals what’s everyone’s favorite pastry … like if they have it at the cafe u simply must have it
The biggest lie in fanfiction is that everyone has a first aid kit in their house. I have never owned one in my life
Wait do y’all not have like…first aid boxes in your hall closets? Like just a plastic box that has your basic first aid shit?
...no? Wait, you mean some people actually have first aid kits lying around their homes?
I... personally don't have a first aid kit at home and never had, neither my parents had, but... I've always had a "medicine cabinet", that always have... things like bandages, peroxide, alcohol, chlorhexidine, anti-burn cream... I don't know, the kind of things you are supposed to find in a first aid kit.
Don't you folks have that kind of thing?
#now#fire extinguishers? that's only for rich people
Realizing our household may be more accident-prone than most because we have a fire extinguisher on both levels and a full-on first aid kit, and we've needed them.
