the crushing guilt of being unproductive vs the exhaustion of being burned out. fight.

I had to come back after thinking about it for a minute

I feel like a lot of folks responding to this post are unaware that Frank Gorshin is the guy who once got thrown out of a Hollywood orgy because he and Adam West showed up in character as Edward Nygma and Bruce Wayne and refused to break character even after the host told them to stop. This is not a man who’s easily perturbed!

Sorry, I didn’t mean to derail that with a) erotica and b) gravedigging.

Looking back on my early childhood is kind of hilarious because, in retrospect, it’s super obvious that my grandparents were trying to recruit me as a Jehovah’s Witness, but six-year-old me was just incredibly dense when it came to the topic of religion. They’d give me all these illustrated picture books of various Bible stories and draw me into long discussions of their contents, but I honestly thought they’d just noticed all the books on Greek and Egyptian folklore I already had in my library and they were fellow mythology enthusiasts. Heck, for a while there I thought the Bible stories were Egyptian mythology – I mean, they’ve got Pharaohs in them, right? Close enough!

(Now, the really funny part is that a lot of those books were very concerned with imparting sexual morals, but being as they were aimed at a primary school audience, the text couldn’t actually say it was talking about sex – they’d just euphemistically refer to people “lying down with” each other. Of course, since they were Old Testament stories, the illustrations depicted everybody wandering around in featureless deserts, and between the sand, the sun, and all this talk of lying down together, for a time I was under the impression that ancient Egyptian society had very strict rules about sunbathing etiquette.)

Every day I am surprised by the men on r/AITA’s ability to not love their girlfriends.

It is! Isn’t nature fantastic?

Nature is fantastic but also fucked up.

yeah it is
