SURVIVE WHITE BOY

sadly, this explains a lot of what happens in the notes.

You know how we call things "pseudoscience"... the media analysis that's being done on twitter and tumblr should be pseudohumanities

the use of both "modern" and "timeless" to describe this act is truly something to behold

Who are these freaking weirdos, man? Like what kind of environment do you need to be in to think that that beautiful ivy is “gross overgrowth”? Is there just a crucible of soullessness that all these deranged flippers spawn from???

Every time I read an old book and some young person “visits a friend in the countryside” for weeks or months I get emotional. Imagine if your friends had the resources to host you at their house for that long. And you would live there very like if it was your own home. Nowadays even if you do stay with friends or family, there’s usually events or activities intended to fill the time. Suppose if you just went to visit your friend for a month, and the two of you just read books or took walks together.

You swerve to avoid a squirrel. Unknown to you, the squirrel pledges a life debt to you. In your darkest hour, the squirrel arrives.

Aaron, when his younger sibling comes home to find a mess after a party he very definitely was not supposed to be having: "Don't tell Dad."

I've always been a big fan of Elijah taunting the daylights out of the prophets of baal then outrunning the kings chariot on foot getting back to the city before the rains hit. That whole section other than maybe the wholesale slaughter of the baal dudes is good for a giggle.

This reminds me that another kind of funny passage is when John mentions twice that he was faster than Peter when they were running to Jesus' tomb.

Really one of those moments where you can actually get a clear view of how fast someone can run too I'm thinking. Wild to think they were running given the social stigma involved in that kind of thing, but I suppose given their previous occupations being highly regarded by the community wasn't really on their list of things they worried about.

Haman in Esther, all he had to do was be chill about the one guy in the entire empire (other than the king) who wouldn’t bow to him. Especially when the king asks him “What shall be done for the man that the king wishes to honor?” and Haman lays out all of the things that he wants and the king basically says “sounds good, do that for Mordecai!”
