It seems like fireworks just wrapped up in my neighborhood, but I think elsewhere in the US it’s still daylight so…
It’s been a rough fucking day because (1) all the people I love are celebrating the worst entity on earth and (2) the fireworks people are detonating in my suburban neighborhood are (well thankfully were) wreaking havoc on my senses.
I want to make this post to remind you all that it’s your brain, your senses, your way of processing the world, and it’s perfectly valid to feel bad about the noise or any other part of the AmeriKKKan independence day.
Please be nice to yourselves today. You are valid, you are worthy of love, you deserve a break if you want or need to take one. Stay safe and take care of yourselves ♥️.
And DEATH TO AMERIKKKA! 🏴🚩🏴🚩🏴🚩🏴🚩
All the vets in my town were begging the town to not do fireworks this year because of their PTSD
The townies called them pussies and did it anyway
Hog on hog violence, you love to see it
took me a while to figure out you weren’t talking about veterinarians
Had this issue for years as a kid. Didn’t know why veterinarians were in the news so often.
“Don’t be so lame, we are blowing up mortars in honor of your bravery and sacrifice.”
Ah yes, that famous group of combat veteran pussies.
this but unironically
Do you think the people who fought against the valiant Viet Minh aren’t cowards in comparison? The 19 year old crapping his pants in the helicopter as they dropped Agent Orange on Vietnamese villages? The conscript starting to have second thoughts about not doing the right thing and putting a frag grenade in his CO’s tent when said CO calls in a strike that decimates a rural community? The ones that carried the secrets of the hundred other My Lai massacres that were forgotten?
What about Iraq? Are the snipers that shot children not cowards? The volunteers that were there for a Dodge Charger that saw their friends do unspeakable acts upon Iraqi prisoners, not cowards?
gobless america and gobless the brave troops who got ptsd burning toxic trash in eye rack
i need to take my puppy out multiple times tonight and i cannot stand this sensory nightmare, somehow the puppy is braver than me
Oof. You’re a good dog owner, comrade ♥️
it’s probably honestly pretty good for desensitization im just going to wear those construction earmuffs and pray lol
Death to Amerikkka from both myself and the corgi
Wait so you’re a laptop? I thought you were the corgi 😆
Im a secret third thing tbh
I’m glad my cat is relatively uncaring, my roommates cat is hiding in my room in one of her favorite hidey holes. I had to check on my friends cats since they’re gone for the weekend, and they were absolutely terrified.
I really don’t understand my cat. She is so weird about a lot of things (she really hates other animals, she’ll attack me if she gets too upset from seeing a cat outside), but I guess explosions are just mildly annoying?
ghh seriously its way past light here and people are still shooting off fireworks
pain
Got home after having fireworks go off too near me, I am absolutely drained; it was a private party with a very large box of fireworks, couldn’t leave and I liked the people there, but now needing a nice safe quiet space
