If you ever struggle to begin a practice of daily gratitude consider that cats are not invisible.

didn't ambrose bierce write a story about this

There's some discourse going around about The Hobbit not being a kids novel (it is, btw) and I told my husband that one argument is "kids won't understand the themes" and without hesitation he deadpans "Clifford the Big Red Dog has themes that adults don't fucking understand"

there's no soul or energy-stealing going on, that succubus needs to have sex a lot because metaphysical creatures have way less ontological inertia than physical creatures and so "you are what you do" is way more literal for them. if she doesn't have sex she'll stop existing or turn into something else. deliver too many messages to people and one day you wake up and you're an angel

Shifts in attitude around the word "penis" in writing are fascinating to me because it's an oddball case of a word becoming more formal over time. As recently as the late 20th Century, "penis" was regarded as sufficiently obscene that even some medical texts would skirt delicately around it, favouring terms like "phallus" or "male member", and it was a frequent sight in published erotica. These days, it's acquired such a clinical air that calling a penis a penis in porn can come off as painfully formal. Given the timing of that transition, I'm half-wondering whether the Internet going public had anything to do with it – and if so, I'm keen to see if other penis words will follow suit. Who knows? In another thirty years, the word "cock" may be regarded as fit only for medical kink!

so basically, hodie penis non est in obscenis?

I wish humans had monkey tails (most likely tail we'd have ngl) because it would be so cute. There's an alternate world out there where people are dying their tails and buzzing patterns into them and getting tail accessories and tail piercings. God could you imagine

12 years on and still the best articulation ever made of how one should respond to useless critiques

This is humanity

AAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

This is such an abstract type of comedy I don’t even know how to handle it

thinking about how when you experience a lot of shame in your formative years (indirectly, directly, as abuse or just as an extant part of your environment) it becomes really difficult to be perceived by other people in general. the mere concept of someone watching me do anything, whether it's a totally normal activity or something unfamiliar of embarrassing, whether I'm working in an excel spreadsheet or being horny on main, it just makes my skin crawl and my brain turn to static because I cannot convince myself that it's okay to be seen and experienced. because to exist is to be ashamed and embarrassed of myself, whether I'm failing at something or not, because my instinctive reaction to anyone commenting on ANYTHING I'm doing is to crawl into a hole and die. it's such a bizarre and dehumanizing feeling to just not be able to exist without constantly thinking about how you are being Perceived. ceaseless watcher give me a god damn break.

IT’S MARCH

Uh… It’s still May…

It’s august

It is implied through gameplay mechanics that the two kingdoms at war in chess both formally permit regnal polygamy, allowing the King to take at least nine wives of equal status, and that marriage can be bestowed as a military honour, but curiously that honour - in stark contrast to the conventional attitudes of the aristocracy - can only be bestowed upon soldiers of the unlanded class, leaving great questions to be asked of the material interests and stability of these kingdoms' aristocracies

also, their horses lack limbs & their castles are small

yknow the smallness of the castles is FAR from their most interesting distinction from the noticeably immobile ones we are familiar with
