@guerrillarain I knew a woman who went to college 40 minutes away from where she grew up, then stuck around and lives there full time now.
my hometown buddies from when I was a teen might have gone somewhere a few times (college and maybe Mexico), but they live within 20 minutes of parents.
not gonna lie, that's probably half the people I've met in general in my life. To some of them, visiting the Big City 6 hours away is the trip of the decade.
maybe this is a super privileged take because I move from city to city (I get uncomfortable if I stay somewhere too long) so basically every city is the same to me but like
the way they exotify something like it's a personal achievement is what bothers me
in the same way that they think wanting to retire in South Carolina is a personality trait.
like IDK I lived in Japan for a year on my own where I had to work and pay rent and get healthcare but it doesn't feel like something to brag about so much as a fact of life that usually gets dragged out of me unless it's relevant to the conversation
like you want a cookie for venturing outside the US to some ~exotic foreign land~?
my favorite thing in the whole wide world is when white people try to give interesting facts about themselves and try to make themselves sound worldly
and the best they can come up with is "I studied Japanese in college" or "I lived in China...for two months."

@guerrillarain that sounds like some kind of suspense-thriller movie: you just suddenly start getting texts of photos of white babies and eventually you're on the run from Interpol
But no really, stop sending photos of your children to numbers of old friends you haven't talked to in four years. It might not even be their number any more. How many white babies am I gonna have texted to me before yall tell each other that I am not Sarah?????
Also, if you get text receipts, make sure to change that when you get a new number. I am still being alerted to when Sarah goes to Jamba Juice at a particular location and what she orders and I can't unsubscribe and if I wanted to stalk her, it would be very easy. -_____-
Lupita has Michael B Jordan and Chadwick Boseman thirsting for her attention and that is the kind of radiance I need to exude
What's your secret sis?
À Cause des garçons by Yelle is the best work of art to come out of France.

Okay folks! I did it!
Launched a Youtube channel, recorded a video of me gushing about all my favorite books
tell me what you think!
There ARE captions, but I'm not sure if Youtube will deliver, so I included a link to the transcript in the description so you have it if Youtube doesn't work. ❤️

We got a parking ticket and the officer's name is BS.

This thing slides open like butter for me, but honey struggles with it. Idk how. https://witches.town/media/qdDPmwNzCvoWjed-sjo
This one is really hard for me. It's just a standard padlock but if you apply too much tension, it won't work, so you have to delicate and delicate I am not. https://witches.town/media/eVW_Ng2OqTUjz9I0g6U
This is what I use to practice lockpicking by the way. (I have more picks but those are my favorites.) https://witches.town/media/6LvVefgIsvRmNGJ5ujI
