So I was talking to a chemist about the definition of "cloth" and we came to the conclusion that paper is a type of felt

Hah, as I was looking at OP version, I was exactly thinking that it would be clearer if the lines were different. Not exactly the ones on your version either, but those are closer to what I thought of.

What do you think good line locations would be, and more importantly can you explain why? I don’t know where my preferences there come from at all.

One might have missed the bird entirely, mistaking it for just another twist of cracked, sun-bleached deadwood on the half-fallen tree. Or one might have assumed it was an adaptation to its preferred haunts, growing plumage in the same palette and pattern as the outlook over a field of mousey morsels. Rarely, one might know on sight a reforester hawk, also known as a deadwood phoenix, whose nesting habits began with assembling a skeletal tree, which would hatch into new growth along with the bird's eggs.

This is poetry. This is storytelling. You can leave the sound off if you want but. Stop. Watch. You surely will not regret doing so.

Abusing Christians?

Sure, if you're offering. I've always wanted to beat a televangelist with some jumper cables.

"Mario Mario" is an anachronism. He and his brother were only ever referred to by mononyms in their lifetime, like most residents of the Mushroom Kingdom at the time - multi-part names were typically reserved for members of the Toadstool dynasty, and even these were more like titles or Roman cognomina than what we would call a surname today. His putative ennoblement as founder of the "House of Mario" came centuries later as the collapsing feudal order sought additional sources of legitimacy

#mushroom kingdom folklore says that he sleeps beneath a warp pipe to arise in the time of the kingdom's greatest need #he's definitely shown up a few times but it's hard to tell if he has risen from the dead or is just in the middle of some time travel shit #historians hate him.

And honestly that’s not even the most egregious insertion of a Mario rival. That dubious honor, in my opinion goes to Sonic the Hedgehog, a wholly unrelated Moebian hero who was spliced into an infamous paradox (stating that a swift runner, *sometimes* named as Mario, cannot beat a *regular* hedgehog with a head start in a footrace) as a literary fairy tale written in 1895 as an attempt to capitalize on the upcoming revival of the Olympic Games.

Classism as a separate axis of oppression to bot-vs-human racism, found family as a terrifying vulnerability, gender as a total obvious non-issue, alien brain fungus, blorbos with blorbos, robot therapy…

Uninformed but passionate activists who actually listen and learn when the vulnerable party they were trying to protect reacts badly to them, oppressed parties slowly unlearning internalized bigotry…
