Why Do We Exist

Shout out to all the Project Hail Mary fanartists who are very aware that Rocky weighs 370lbs and cannot live in our atmosphere and then completely ignore those facts to draw Rocky hugging/snuggling Grace and sleeping on his chest no problem you're doing the Lord's work

When someone is going to have a baby and they’re like “I’m hoping for a girl.” I’m like ‘Aw, cute.’ but when someone says they hope it is a boy, my hackles raise and I’m like ‘Hmm. Elaborate on that. What is the reasoning behind that?’ Like, I think baby gender reveal culture is a bit silly but I understand it is mostly in good fun. Until someone gets mad they’re not having a son to ‘carry on the family name’ or whatever. That is frankly disgusting. But is is really interesting how people who want a daughter will be like ‘I hope it is a baby girl so I can dress her in these cute pink baby outfits.’ and people who want a son often want a son for reasons that are extremely misogynistic and dehumanizing.

project hail mary is a fantastic movie that genuinely has me staring at the ceiling at like 2 am. god. its the concept of dying so others can live. what if the sacrificial lamb was there the whole time and taught the butcher how to build the slaughterhouse. what if the lamb was dragged there kicking and screaming and was told that it was dispensable because it had no one, not a family or a lover or even a dog and what if the lamb said that it just wanted to live. isnt that enough? isnt wanting to live enough? what if the lamb woke up alone and afraid but remembered enough about living and love to place his head on the chopping block anyway. and most importantly, what if the butcher wasnt a butcher but just the shepherd trying to save the rest of the flock
