Nonsense and the odd sensible thought

In the backseat of a car, when I was 12 years old, three years before I had internet and found out what fanfic even was, I wrote one whole page in green pen (I remember this vividly) about Mulder and Scully from the X-Files getting it on. It was awful. I'm pretty sure my mother read it. lol But yeah, that was the first fanfic I ever wrote. I just really needed them to boink.

girlhood is sitting in the dark in the middle of the night crying to 1D songs.

Omg they literally have ONE narrative and just run with it everywhere... see my last post here. They literally can't say anything else.

It's really simple. If you're born with a vagina and you naturally have elevated testosterone levels, you're a man. If you have a vagina and you take testosterone, you're a woman. But also if you have a vagina, you'll never be a man. But also if you have higher testosterone then you were never a woman. Woman never yes man a vagina testosterone no was an elevated. Vagina man.

why has ‘this looks like a renaissance painting’ become such a common phrase on the internet to describe momentous, dramatically lit images that are brimming with pathos when the word they mean to say is ‘baroque’

do not be afraid to care deeply

I will always be afraid

then be afraid and do it anyway <3

Genuinely 90% of historical fiction would be so much better if more writers could get more comfortable with the fact that to create a good story set in a different time period you do actually have to give the characters beliefs & values which reflect that time period

#even if they share your values they would phrase things differently. ‘​I hate to see a man hanged for it’ vs ‘love is love’ (via @aurpiment)

I genuinely like how all of those examples are killer quotes but also represent something that may be considered unkind or overly religious or oddly phrased or straight up untrue today. Excellent job picking them out @sourjen .

All the people posting "they shouldn't have missed"... my dear Americans, imagine if the shooter had not missed. Do you think, for one moment, that you wouldn't have a literal, violent civil war on your hands as a result? Because I'm pretty sure half of the country would be swearing revenge and war on the the other half as a result and ALL of the nutcases with guns would have lost their shit. Just saying.

I'm worried that even the failed attempt will actually change the situation for the worse. Trump and his supporters can now play the victims and claim "the democrats" are a threat to society and are trying to kill them etc, and IF Trump gets reelected he might use this as an excuse to implement a police state.

Oh, I agree. It absolutely has changed the situation for the worse. I really don't know how it can be salvaged for the left at this point. All I was saying is that Trump actually dying would not have had a good outcome either.

Is it too early for me to share conspiracy theories am I being like an alt-leftist lmao

Listen the fist pump in the air definitely does not read as someone who is afraid of a sniper yet to be Neutralized hundred of yards away that’s all I’m sayingggg

No, no, you're good. That was literally my first thought as well and I'm just a casually invested European watching all this with mild interest.
