auto immune disorders happen when the immune system ignores regulatory factors and begins attacking healthy bodily tissues, due to what scientists refer to as "sheer love of the game"

"representation matters!" but you wont read or engage with non-fiction works about any demographic outside your own

this version of the post doesnt seem to be getting much traction but this is arguably the most important reason why we should be reading nonfiction in addition to fiction

I just watched somebody watch Doctor Horrible on youtube (do not judge my cringe viewing choices) and I'm crying, this guy cannot understand the ending. He calls it "bizarre" and "doesn't get it". He kept talking about how Doctor Horrible should resurrect Penny with mad science and become a hero and watched the credits expecting a bonus scene with a true ending in it because he could not comprehend the extremely fitting and well-placed stock-standard tragic ending. Man does not comprehend the idea of a tragedy. You can dislike Dr Horrible's ending (if you have no taste) but how do you not understand it? It is. Such a comprehensible story. It is not subtle or twist heavy. There are zero points of confusion.

Dude had decided so hard that he was watching Megamind that deviations from the plot of Megamind simply did not compute.

There's also the fact that the epilogue makes Penny's death about everyone except Penny herself ("World Mourns Whats-Her-Name"), so it's not just Billy falling prey to his own flaws, but a whole systemic thing. There was no way for that story to end any way other than it did because of the people and setting.

I have not seen this musical, but honestly this discussion is reminding me of the ending of REPO where they literally say "what, you expected a happy ending? This is a fucking opera." Like yes, the title may feel like a bit of a bait and switch, but musicals have a proud and storied history of that--a musical called Ragtime is somehow infinitely sadder and more horrifying than one called Les Miserables. Cabaret is about the Holocaust, and so is The Sound of Music. Hell, literally right now there's a tour of Come From Away, which you'd be forgiven for thinking is some kind of happy island romp based on the name and logo, but no. It's actually about 9/11. If you're assuming a name like "Sing-Along Blog" means it's going to be happy I'm going to assume you have never seen a musical that wasn't You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown.

I think when you correctly identify a trauma that is the base of a woe of yours it should just disappear. It should be like "aaahh. you got me" and vanish and leave 100 dollars behind

The magic of childhood is that you were constantly encountering new things. The best way to feel that way again is to fill your life with new experiences.

hey, it's okay if the only thing you did for pride was exist. i'm glad & grateful you are in the world. your survival is a celebration.

sometimes i have strong opinions but they're also so inane that halfway through writing a post i'll be like "yeah, this is Absolutely not worth the energy it's taking" and delete everything. but then the opinion is still in my head. and i still want to share it. so within five minutes i go "you know, i bet i can phrase it more succinctly this time" and anyway. you all see where this is going. sometimes i do this four times in a row before i give up on the specific inane opinion and instead write a vague post about the concept of opinions as if that'll satisfy the urge to post the entirety of my inner monologue online. may or may not be relevant to what you're reading right now. and now all our lives have been enriched. you're welcome

in the future humans will have something called "sinus button " and pressing it will immediately drain your sinuses of all fluid so that it can be filled with other things like rocks, webs, paint, tar, freef (new fluid that will be so important in that time) and also dr papper
