sorry. thinking about how katniss just genuinely mourning rue started riots across the dictricts as people realized how fucking devastating it was that they just willingly watched the murder of a 12 year old. just the realization that they’re so desensitized to literal child murder started an entire uprising and revolution. it just gets to me man it gets me every time

someone added to this post saying that they’re NOT desensitized to child murder and i just wanna say um well yeah they are. they watch the hunger games every year. gale has his whole thing about how the hunger games would stop if everyone would stop watching, but everyone still watches. the point is that once children are chosen in the reaping, especially in district 11 where rue is from, they’re already as good as dead. the thing that made katniss different is that she only knew rue after the reaping, then loved her like a sister and mourned her even though she’s ALSO seen her fair share of child murder, because she’s never had her sister die. it’s not about the murder, it’s about the mourning. THATS what started the revolution.

this reads like it was submitted to a local newspaper in the early 1900s

I really can and will blame the 9-5 for everything. "We're in a loneliness epidemic" well, we have to spend a third of our day interacting with people in a professional way that makes forming real friendships difficult and then we're peopled out by the time we're done. "People are eating more and more unhealthily" people have to spend more than a third of their day doing work related tasks and they don't want to spend their tiny amount of free time making food. "People aren't involved in their local communities" after spending more than a third of their day doing work related things people are tired and also all those community events take place during normal working hours. "People need to get more hobbies" after spending more than a third of their day working, people are TIRED and don't want to do anything that takes yet more energy. "Literacy is dying" to maintain your critical thinking skills you need to read/watch things that make you think and after spending more than a third of your day doing work related stuff you are TIRED and don't want to expend even more brainnpower. "People need to get outside more" People. Are. TIRED. Because they have to spend all of their time working or preparing for work or recovering from work or doing all the chores they couldn't stay on top of because of work. I can blame fucking anything on having to work, it is truly the root of all fucking evil.

on your what

men and women are not opposites. men and women are not enemies. men and women are two parts of a broad coalition which fights against a mutual enemy: inkjet printers

Torterra.....

I took a bus to a conference today and the bus driver fully stopped the bus to identify and chastise a person who was playing music out loud on their phone. That is how you get me to actually complete the customer service survey specifically so I can give you top ratings

It's days later and I'm still thinking about this man. Full ass bus pulled over to the side of a state highway with the hazards on, stalking down the center aisle intoning "ALL RIGHT. WHO'S GOT IT. YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ON SPEAKER." I want to commission a statue of him. a hero. a king.

what's up big dog [flirting]

when will my wife (abby roque) come home from the war (hockey offseason)

someone accused me of feigning a sexual attraction to spiders for clout. there's easier ways to get clout, man.....

Someone once called my 22 minute hand sewn 18th century buttonhole tutorial video "Empty, clout driven content" so I think some people will just say anything.

Had a soul-searing moment where I sat unblinking trying to figure out what a "hand sewn 18th century butthole" could be for, until I read that again.

it's so important to get a useless degree so that no one will ever hire you #Truth

The Ojibwe nailed it. Wawa is exactly the right name for a goose.

you may have noticed that my blog is disorganized and thematically incoherent and my tag game is weaker by the day. this is commentary on the chaos of modern existence
