everybody wants to rule the world - tears for fears "help me make the most of freedom and of pleasure la la laaaaa" not bad actually #retrowise


The Tears for Fears song suggests, "Everybody wants to rule the world," though the mess is bigger than one person could clean up. How does your corner look? Since this existence is built out of small, human-scale moments, micro decency just might count toward macro justice. What if world peace strongly correlates to how you treat the person pouring your coffee? 

I say that allllllll the time. In every class evvver. And it is my stance re why I don't march around yelling about Blowhard or even engage with that shit. In my opinion, grand gestures of heroics are fine, but in the everyday is where it's at. In the shallots, so to speak. 

card of the day, and we are literally planting trees. they have root balls the size of small cars (I didn't realize!) so everybody is coming, lots of "fuuuuuuck!"s and kids will be rolling in dirt (shit where am I gonna put all that dirt?) but by the end, two trees shall have joined our little cheektovegas community

When I got home with the dogs yesterday, I felt like Nebraska had been in here. It's just that cortisol tripwire in my head, I know this. Tea bags next to the bed (wtf? I didn't..) could have been any kid in the chaos. But I am not going to argue with my brain unless it goes overboard and wants a moat. Ring doorbells will also be installed and all locks changed to harder ones. Today. Those are reasonable things, just in a virgo timeframe.
