the monster under your bed

[pm] Putain.Can’t I just bake you a pie instead?

[pm] A teacher? But I– I mean, I guess. But that– Nora, a whole fucking forge?

He wasn’t starving before, though. He was fine. 

[pm] I mean, great though right? Huh where were the people like you when I was a kid-- That’s real kind of you 

Neither of those things are true. I’m not even in charge of feeding him. He feeds himself.

I don’t have a PR agent. And I don’t know who wrote an essay on your blog. [user starts to link Ari, Teddy, Vida, and Rhett. User then struggles to think of another person who might think he’s nice, but realizes he does not, in fact, know anyone else who would think that. User erases all names.] I don’t have to prove anything to you. 

[pm] Did- Has that happened? It wasn’t trash food right? does that even make sense nevermind--

Wait really? How often do you send out massive amounts of meat?

How the fuck does someone type like they’re mean? I’m not mean. I’m […] nice. People think I’m nice.

[pm] I actually don’t know it yet, I was kind of asking? Indirectly I guess, but yeah if you wanted to put it under something what would it be? 

[pm] Wonderful, I’m sure the community will appreciate your contribution. I’ll even donate it in your name, if you like? 

[pm] Rhett has lots of food. It's too much meat for one person before it spoils. Can we give it to the homeless center/soup kitchen?

I don’t want him to starve! I feed him all the time! I’m not mean!

I can assure you that Rhett gets plenty of food, so that's really not the issue here. gosh that makes him sound like a dog or something It's not that we don't appreciate it, it's just that we also run a business out of this place. The big truck outside as well as the vast quantity of perishable meats is actively making it hard for our clients to get through and I worry about all of it spoiling before it can be used by any small group of people.

Maybe we could come to some sort of agreement, bring the meat to somewhere it could be of better use. Maybe with the local homeless shelter or soup kitchen?

Fair enough I suppose. Well, if you want to learn, I have pretty fair rates and I don’t just teach you what to do, but I get your body ready to do it.

[pm] If you want to bring joy, truth, and knowledge of your own, then open your own business.  You can’t you the library to do whatever you want, especially when you don’t respect our rules, Nora.  Spreading knowledge is my highest ambition, and the things you’re doing are only working to stop that from happening.  You don’t understand what you’re doing.
