not that you ever take me to the opera

writing short stories is mostly drawing shapes in the sand whereas writing a novel is usually more lego bricks. and poetry is all about draining pus

Baby it's old outside

Racism against Indians is actually a little insane when you consider how widespread it is even among liberals and leftists . Even people who consider themselves to be progressive will laugh at call center or tech support jokes. All scammers are inherently indian. It’s okay to laugh at jokes making fun of Indians for their feelings towards animals or how they drive. India is inherently backwards and dirty so it’s okay to make jokes about getting food poisoning from even looking at indian food

the bread is stale and the circus is boring let’s wrap it up

I saw someone spell it "whimsicle" today. Like popsicle

sherpas used to be treated like expedition partners that knew the land better than you because they were raised on it and now they’re treated like they are lowly disposable service workers setting up heated tents or spas for wealthy hikers who have no business on the mountain like they are collecting your nasty trash off one of the holiest and most sacred mountains in the world like do y’all understand that we see sagarmatha or mount everest as a living deity on earth while the rest of the world sees her as a conquest?

i LOVE posts that go “this is bad because of *inane religious argument*”. like babe I don’t believe in your gods. that’s just a mountain. it doesn’t make me respect Christianity more just because Christians tell me they believe Jesus rose from the dead.

white guy who spiritually believes he's a lesbian based on the feeling in his dick heart doesnt have a leg to stand on being irreverent and shitty about other ppls beliefs. using the good name of butches to act socially retarted and disrespectful. grow up

you don’t have to be transphobic to stand up to a racist that’s like trying to put out a fire with gasoline

So lemme get this straight: Ishmael’s clearly unhealthy obsession with whales as evidenced by his infodumping 500 gazillion cetology factoids of questionable provenance is “cute” and “world literature”, but when I, Ahab —

ishmael did have a sea burial, that's the thing. he had the death and sendoff into the sea that queequeg expected himself to have. floating in the endless expanse of the ocean with a coffin made to carry a dead man aloft for a while longer. he died on the pequod, was buried, and was taken back to dry land. lazarus himself could have had no clearer a resurrection.

Since that day, my family and I have been living in a tattered tent that offers no protection from the bitter cold of winter or the scorching heat of summer. Two years of continuous suffering under this worn-out fabric that neither shelters our bodies nor provides any shelter for our family. Today, I appeal to you with all my pain and suffering, asking for your support and assistance so that we can repair our tent and obtain food and water. I hope you will stand with us and not ignore us, friends.

Please help us through this ordeal and live a dignified life.Your support will make a huge difference in our lives and help us persevere and secure the most basic necessities and warmth for my family. Please don't leave us alone.

My friend Ahmed has been enduring unthinkable conditions. He has gone without clean water and nutritious food for long periods. He has become severely anemic and made dizzy with hunger. He is suffering in the heat in a densely populated refugee camp, afraid of bombings that could come at any time. Ahmed deserves love and support. Please help him!

has anyone noticed the new meta for people being accused of bigotry (esp white people being accused of racism) is to claim they're receiving harassment (often with no proof just on a "trust me" level) so the whole conversation turns into how harassment is always wrong and bringing up the bigotry that sparked it will get you accused of lolcowing
