Fun and lovely things ive seen on my 12 hour train ride(s):
- construction site with a huge disco ball in the middle
- man on a bike waiting for us to pass while giving us a peace sign the whole time
- house with a Grateful Dead symbol on the front door
- People standing in their backyard holding their babies and waving as we pass by
- people with their dogs and letting them watch the train as it passes
- reservoirs of water so clear and still we look like we're in the clouds
- a young construction worker standing on a pile of dirt waving furiously at us all
- at handful of different bonfires/campfires/etc. once the sun came down
- large dinners seen through the lit windows of homes
- a dad helping his little toddler walk up and down the aisles of the train, the two of them giggling the whole way
- small child standing in the threshold of his sliding glass door to his backyard staring at the train
- 2 rottweilers sitting on a bench outside their house howling along to the train's horn
- a playground full of children staring at the train from the top of the play structure like theyre tiny prisoners
- hills so covered in the tiniest flower buds they look like theyre blushing
- A field of workers mooning us and laughing out loud
- dark dark hills covered in warm yellow lights 💛
- a rocket getting ready to launch
- freight train workers late at night standing on the end of the freight train watching us pass by
- the smallest train station ive ever seen (one small hut with 2 benches inside) in New Mexico with 2 guys in big cowboy hats hugging goodbye as one gets on the train and the other gets back in his extremely dusty truck
- young guy painting a large and beautiful mural of the Virgin Mary on the side of a building
- a lady running outside with an insulated rolling bag while at a long stop as the conductor excitedly called over the intercom: "the burrito lady is here! Quick, everyone run outside and buy a burrito, I'm giving you 5 minutes!"
- the conductor going out and getting a burrito for free but buying more anyway
- a little Prada store (?) in what is quite literally the middle of nowhere, Texas?????? (Apparently an art installation!)
- 2 people sitting outside of a little bar in a small town in Texas, with their dog, talking and watching the train for the duration of our stop
- groups of girls playing softball (one on a college field in their uniforms, and another right next to it in a normal park field in random street clothes), both stopping their games to wave
- a bull standing right next to the train, full facing us, calmly looking on
- people on scenic walks, people heading into work, people heading down to their mailbox, all stopping to wave hi at us
- 2 dogs and a cat trotting happily down the road towards their little farmhouse (*very* Homeward Bound)
- people waving kids waving adults waving!!!! 💗 from cars and houses and playgrounds and work and intersections!!!!
-mother smiling at her small child as they try to run after the train
- guy skateboarding down the street
- quite literally in the middle of farms and work yards, a large tent with paper lanterns and string lights hung up, as if made pretty for an event
- Halloween decorations still up
- man grilling outside
- Christmas decorations up now
- the disco ball in the work yard is broken now
-Grateful Dead door is still there
- a man waiting patiently, giving us a thumbs up
- another man in his work truck, leaning his arm on his open window and his head in his hand, clearly delayed by trains pretty often
- the leaves changing
- backyard with a hammock that says Honduras
- the most beautiful neighborhoods you can imagine
- someone in the window of their house, filming the train go by
- a pug in the front yard, right up against the fence, staring so intently
- all the people who wave at the train by nature of it being a train going by, and then the ones who wave on instinct when they see someone waving inside
- small hand built shack that has a little painted sign that says Slim Pickens
- lit Christmas trees in windows
- a handmade, hand-painted dormer (?) on top of a house
- the back of some kind of set
- a small child in a little car stroller, waiting with mom at the corner of the neighborhood, waving with a loose fist the way small children tentatively do

Literally what have I done why did I do that???
Got nominated for an award at work, have to send in a picture of myself for them to present at a big gala, sent in a picture and she’s like: “It’s too dark got anything else?”, looking at pictures of myself and zooming in like: wanna see how yellow my teeth are? wanna see how the light falls on my face in a fucked up way? wanna see evidence of how I stopped wearing my retainer? wanna see all the bags under my eyes? wanna see how frizzy my hair is? I can’t even guarantee that you’re looking at a happy person when you look at these. It’s not a woman is it even a girl I don’t know what that is.
made a poem i wrote into a comic. anyone else angry that you have to yearn
