My Man's Thighs Called Awareness The Way I'm. Spreading Them

No Human eye can isolate the unhappy coincidence of line and place which suggests evil in the face of a house, and yet somehow a maniac juxtaposition, a badly turned angle, some chance meeting of roof and sky, turned Hill House into a place of despair, more frightening because the face of Hill House seemed awake, with a watchfulness from the blank windows and a touch of glee in the eyebrow of a cornice.

"The Color Of Daylight..."

can you imagine the poor people who had to go figure out what happened on Crockett Island, though

like obviously there’s been a catastrophic fire, so they’re prepared for the worst, but what they find is way, way weirder than ‘the worst’

there are bodies in some of the houses, sure, burned past recognition or to the point where their cause of death would be obvious. but there are also bodies … outside? in the roads or the public areas? and some of them may be a little damaged by fire but they obviously died from having their throats ripped out??? and the sheriff is on the beach, dead of a gunshot wound??? the town doctor also died of a gunshot wound but she’s in a completely different place on the island (and her body was obviously moved there after her death)????

and overall there are just nowhere near as many bodies as there should be? Crockett Island had a population of just about 120 people but there are only, say, 70-80 bodies???? where did everybody else go????

and the only two survivors are two teenagers who are just like “uh, yeah, we took a romantic canoe trip. we weren’t on the island. we have no idea what happened.” (and one of them is paralyzed from the waist down? you don’t think the guy with her could have carried her out to the beach to get her in the canoe but he must have, right????)

just, can you even imagine. the buzzfeed unsolved episode. about Crockett Island.

Father Paul saying that his daughter, who also happens to be gay, was never a sin and was never a mistake is something that can actually be so personal

Anger Is Heat

It starts as a spark, a flicker. It start as a glimpse. For only a moment, the darkness is seized. For only a moment.

Then

Another strike of the match and the room bursts into flames.

Ever corner. Every crevice. Light spreads like a disease.

It's cool, touchable almost- at first. It dances atop your fingertips.

You could extinguish it easily, a simple breath could end it. You should blow it out now.

And then it is warm.

It is the heat of a summer's day. Next it is the steam of a kettle. Within seconds it is the flame of candle.

And then it's the sun.

It burns everything it touches, dressing you in charcoal, leaving you steaming.

Destruction.

Damage.

You opened that window and that fire spread. Sucked out into the fresh air. The cool air.

You should have blown it out.

You can't take back the burns. The scars. The pain. You can't take back the fire.

You can't take back the heat.

If any of my posts blow up please let it be this one:

Australia is currently petitioning to make it that all gender confirming surgeries for transgender individuals are covered by Medicare. This is absolutely huge as surgeries are super expensive even with private health insurance.

It doesn't ask for an address or phone number or anything so I think anyone in the world can sign for it? But I'm not entirely sure.

EDIT: yeah you gotta be a citizen, so if you're outside the country, if you could reblog this to reach more Australians, this would be amazing!

Here's the petition link:

Please reblog this and spread it as far and wide as you can, this is super important!
