Stargazer in The Silo

simply cannot ever resist what i call the little mermaid or the tin man or the pinnochio plot, the one about a character who is either inhuman or human but outside in some way, constantly searching for whatever it is that they consider to be the quintessential proof of humanity, preoccupied by it so deeply that they fail to realize the proof is in the act and fact of the search itself

MAYBE WE’LL FIND IT IF WE BOTH LOOK

Hanging out with people will make you remember you're the crazy woke friend for like. not wanting to shop at shien

how fucked up do you think it was for stratt and carl and the staff to watch grace flee and get tackled and drugged while basically dressed like a fisherman teddy bear in a cheerful yellow raincoat

i have been informed by literally every french speaker on earth that “une pipe” is slang for blowjob

"empower children" <- even more radical thinking that will get the "protect children" crowd claiming you're the one they need to be protected from

as a feminist i support recreational abortion

i have mixed feelings about competitive

i love writing out numbers and then putting them in parentheses like "one (1)" even when i dont need to i think its funny

yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.

I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.

don't infantilise yourself. you are not a child who needs an adult to make your decisions for you. you are a splendid and magnificent autocrat and you are consulting your trusted advisors. you are exercising great wisdom by inviting an expert to give their opinion before making your ruling. often the path of wisdom is to say "good morning, I'm trying to [perform task] and I have a question about [aspect], can you tell me who I should speak to for advice?" before you do it. sometimes the path of wisdom is to hire a plumber. there are times when you cannot do things for yourself but that doesn't mean you are not an adult. you don't need a grown-up. you need a specialist.
