I feel like everything hurts but the meds mean I can't feel any of it; I know I'm sad but I'm so apathetic I can barely even cry I know without them I wouldn't be functioning at all right now but I have a real chance to kickstart my career, in a field I love, starting now, but I'm filled with so much apathy I couldn't care less I couldn't care less about something I care so much about. And I am so scared of fucking it all up.

Haven't had phone service since Thursday because my phone company cut me off because they're being terrible about dad stuff (“I 'm afraid I can only discuss that with the account holder ma'am” “THE ACCOUNT HOLDER IS DEAD WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME”) but I'm too anxious to call them again after they made me cry last time and I'm too tired to care really anyway

I have come up with the perfect idea for my masters thesis and the PhD proposal I submitted for a funding application has been forwarded by my department for consideration by the research council and I am so keen but as my professor kindly reminded me yesterday I have to not get too excited about all of these things and focus on meeting all my current deadlines and catching up on all the work I'm behind because of my dad dying and all these emotions are making for such a wild ride you know?

the truth is out there, and its in the heart of downtown toronto

what the actual fuck

this is toronto’s cultural pride and joy and it is slowly being consumed by an alien spacecraft

A significant portion of the city looks like this actually. Toronto’s aesthetic seems to be “real old buildings being devoured by real new buildings.” And like sometimes you have houses that look like a 12 year old’s first minecraft build sorta jammed between Victorian era stone houses it’s real fuckin weird

I feel like ocad and the ago should be added to this because holy shit toronto’s buildings are weird as fuck

Inglewood, CA #BLACKLIVESMATTER

On Sunday, police responded to a call of a suspicious vehicle parked on Manchester Boulevard around 3:10 am. When police arrived, they engaged in a 45-minute long standoff before opening fire on the man and woman inside the vehicle, killing them both.

The woman was pronounced dead shortly after the shooting, and the man succumbed to his injuries after paramedics transported him to a local hospital.

The shooting seemed like an open and shut case until the next day. Mayor James Butts, while responding to questions about the shooting, opened up a huge can of worms — both the man and the woman were unconscious.

For at least 45 minutes, police attempted “to rouse” them in an effort “to de-escalate the situation,” said Butts.

After admitting that the couple was asleep, Butts quickly defended the officers, noting, “Obviously at some point they were conscious because somebody felt threatened.”

However, that notion has yet to be proven and is particularly unlikely due to the fact that not a single officer received so much as a scratch, nor did the couple have any reason to be violent.

Both of the victims were parents; Kisha Michael, 31, a single mother of three sons, and Marquintan Sandlin, 32, a single father of four daughters.

Families for both described them as devoted parents who made arrangements for care of their children while they took a night off.

“The police ain’t telling us nothing,” said Trisha Michael after being met with tight lips from the department.

“He was a loving father,” said Sandlin’s sister Leandra Faulkner.  “All he cared about was his girls, getting them right.”

According to his relatives, Sandlin had a ‘rough life’ but had turned it around and was working as a successful truck driver.

Sadly, these children will now grow up knowing that their parents were taken from them by cops, scared of a sleeping couple.

‘For at least 45 minutes the cops attempted “to rouse” them in an effort “to de-escalate the situation” said Butts.After admitting that the couple were asleep, Butts quickly defended the officers actions, noting, “Obviously at some point they were conscious because somebody felt threatened.“’

What the fuck, were they aggressively snoring? Who opens fire on someone they just spent 45 minutes trying to wake up? Great. Now I’ve heard it all. Cops are afraid of unconscious people. 45 minutes of de-escalation? Did it ever once occur that if you try to wake someone up in a car with loud noise and they don’t wake up, medical attention may be needed?
