'Not a robot' - Me (also Janet)

When you hear the news that there is a growing life expectancy gap between republicans and democrats partially because of the right-wing anti-science conspiracies that have taken hold (especially after COVID) you’re like “Lol. They owned the libs so hard they died.” and then you remember these are the same people having 6+ kids to populate the polls with their white Christian children and medically neglecting them. Then you squint at the data and realize it is not measuring voter data and life expectancy but life expectancy in red areas vs. blue areas and you realize that voter suppression, corruption, racism and poverty is actually killing the people in these places faster than the national average, not their own reactionary views. And you’re so angry it’s being presented like it’s their fault they’re dying.

percy can be a hero and luke can be a hero at the same time...... just like achilles and hector are both heroes........ heroes being foils and on different sides of a war is literally a trope of greek epics

so you know that cursed sword that slowly drives whoever wields it mad & causes mysterious illnesses? you guessed it: scabbard was absolutely loaded with black mold

do it grieving

what if you had a cunty little bob and a fun knife collection and then your best friend died and you bring him back inside your head and somehow you become a mother and a father and a sister at once to a child who MIGHT be two of your dead friends and then you become nonbinary and find out that child is actually the soul of the earth. happened to my good friend paul.

Thinking about Vaelus and Hannan and how happy he seemed that she finally let go. For an elvish member of the old path this is the best they can hope for, that this old wounds will be healed in all their people, and they can enjoy the time they have left together. It was so sweet, because there are no happy endings anymore for the elves and they will be forever diminishing, but they don't need to be stagnant in their ancient fights forever. They can change. I'm really so glad that Vaelus let go so fast when she was given the perspective.

Seeing people reblog this post that I wrote before Hannan died makes me so sad. Yes they are capable of change but there is no promise that the change is going to be for the better. As much as they can choose to let go of ancient grudges the world around them can take the catharsis from them. Forever diminishing and perfectly vulnerable to a sudden collapse.

kind of weird how parts of your soul are left in various locations without any warning… like yes i’m always at the top of that hill, sitting at the bus stop, in the cool light of the Japanese restaurant, standing at the pier etc etc

I've been laughing like a hyena for the past 15 minutes

"Arre yiu dhumm!?" In this essay, I will describe how much of a mood.com this is.
