Take me, eternal sleep
Funny, I actually let myself hope somebody would express a little empathy… so stupid. Hope is a worthless banality that only serves to goad us along this shit-fest called life.
I am ready. I picked the place some time ago. Far enough away, into the cold and empty desert, yet close enough to be there in an hour.
Lest anyone think this to be a joke, or lame ploy for attention, I will include some pics of what I will use.
The darkness within me was beautiful, it was an intrinsic part of who I am, and if nothing else, it was attached to a warm body. But, quoth my raven, nevermore.

Funny, or perhaps not
My own texts get passed on like dung on the side of the trail. Only when I forward along something that isn’t my own does it get looked at. Or liked

“They say I have a sweet ass, nice tits, a real pretty dress. They say I’m their future wife, or I’d look good with their dick in my mouth. They try (and probably succeed at times) to take pictures down my shirt. They ask if they can get my number, they ask where I live, why I’m not smiling, why my boyfriend lets me walk around by myself. Then they ask why I’m such a bitch, if my pussy is made of ice. They say that they never do this, as though I’ve somehow driven them to inappropriate behavior and deserve it. They say they’re just having fun, trying to pay me a compliment. Pretty frequently they get mean, slipping into a loud tourettes-like chant of bitch-whore-cunt-slut.
Before you try to tell me that it’s because I take my clothes off for a living, let me tell you that this started way before I was 18. Let me tell you that every single woman I know has at least one truly terrifying story of street harassment and a whole bunch of other stories that are merely insulting or annoying. Let me remind you that in a room of pornography fans, who have actually seen me with a dick in my mouth and who can buy a replica of my vagina in a can or box, I am treated with far more respect than I am walking down the street.”

A live stream of earth from space

In case you didn’t know, Scott Kelly lived in space on the ISS for 342 days while his identical twin brother stayed on Earth.
Scientists recently revealed strange occurrences to Scott’s genetics while in space.
“The biggest thing we just learned is that Scott’s telomeres grew longer than his brothers while he was in space. Telomeres are the ends of chromosomes that contain redundant DNA. They don’t code for anything, they just exist in order to protect chromosomes from deteriorating or fusing aberrantly with other chromosomes. They shrink a little each time they replicate.
So for telomeres to get longer is a strange occurrence — especially in space. “That is exactly the opposite of what we thought,” Susan Bailey, a radiation biologist at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, told Nature.
Scott’s telomeres shrunk back to their pre-flight levels soon after he returned to Earth, which scientists are also at a loss to explain. Ultimately, both effects are mysterious, but the’ve encouraged scientists to dig deeper and to pay closer attention to telomere length in studies on other astronauts.
Another strange thing happened to Scott’s genes while he was in space. DNA methylation — the addition of chemical marker onto DNA in order turn on or off certain genes — increased in his body as well. Again, those levels went back to preflight levels after Scott’s mission ended. It’s unclear exactly why this happened, or what genes were affected — and certainly more analysis will be required.
The twin study is the most prominent in an emerging field of research that’s acutely digging through how space travel affects life on a molecular level. Thanks to more modern technology and a furious new interest in deep space travel, “space genetics” is finally coming to life as a powerful discipline which will be critical to future societies where living in space has become a more normal way of life.”Source: https://www.inverse.com/article/27084-scott-kelly-genes-telomeres-year-in-space-twin-study
