tumblr post: trey (username redacted): driving for door dash is usually pretty boring until something like this comes thru π screenshot of delivery instructions for chipotle: when you get to my stoop press 5B on the buzzer and WAIT FOR ME to come down. if thereβs a big dude sitting on the steps claiming the food is his, do not believe him. thatβs larry. please look him dead in the eye and say βfuck you, larry.β he has successfully hijacked my dinner on two separate occasions and i refuse to let him feast on my dime a third time. protect the bag at all costs. iβll tip extra.
reylo: rey is larry, ben is absolutely 5B, and the burrito bowl is going to see things it wasnβt designed to see
βThis changes nothing,β he snarled through kiss-bitten lips.

Baby blue background, slate blue font: when the rivals become lovers
Ss of A Fine Line by Penelope Guinn: There's need in those fingers, the small callus on the side of his thumb roughly passing back and forth over my palm until the sensation spreads all the way down to my toes. "I believe in you," he says. I bite the inside of my cheek. "Don't say that." Our hands are still clasped together, still tethered to each other as we draw closer and closer back to town. He doesn't ask why not, and I don't elaborate. Anything else we could say right now would be pointless. We're obviously not mortal ene-mies. But the more we say, the harder it is to take it back. The less likely we'll be able to part with our dignity intact. Because eventually, this will be over. Three weeks to be exact. We don't talk about it, but the outcome looms bigger each day: whether I'll get a parting text, whether we'll even bother saying goodbye.
I love a messy pair that has work to figure each other out and dig through all of the layers to connect. This was one of my favorite sections of the book to write, and I hope it speaks to you, too!

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

It makes zero sense.
Years ago when I started full-time telework, someone asked me, "Don't you miss your coworkers?"
...no. Why would I?
I've been working from home since 2012. I hate setting foot in an office. HATE IT.
Dolly Parton is literally the only good billionaire and proof we don't just actively hate people with money simply for having it.
We hate you because you're all fucking monsters.
rip anakin skywalker you would've loved fall out boy
Nothing says romance like a bbq dinner! Your book paired perfectly.
I truly hope not.
I'm so sorry.

And somehow, they make murder adorable.
They're my daily comic relief. Honestly? I don't know what I'd do without them. I love my chaotic baby boys!
π Sometimes that's what happens. I've also seen them Mufasa each other over the edge of the bed.
Look. Sometimes they're enemies. And sometimes... uuuuuh... it's a little like they're lovers. Things are complicated over here.
