Dead wife montage but it's all slow motion shots of your dead wife throwing grenades and doing backflips and oneshotting the enemy with their long range weapons

feminist killjoy hours again, what the actual fuck is “weird girl literature” and how often do we acquiesce to the latest degrading gendered advertising campaigns

Women did not fucking pioneer horror, thriller, and science fiction as we know it for publishing to infantilize it into a high school phase

is Stephen king “weird boy literature”? Or does he get to be an adult horror novelist?

theres a trump supporter in my media arts major and sometimes my professor will ask him something simple like "whats the difference between ethics and the law" and he'll (i kid you not) say shit like "uhhh its like. honestly i thought that was like the same thing" and then my professor will give the rest of the class a mischievous knowing look

All good children's fiction says you are going to have to shoulder responsibility even if you don't want it.

And btw this isn't a punishment or a condemnation, it's a recognition that The Right Thing is a burden but you have to carry it anyway because it's Right.

This may sound grim, but “doing good is its own reward” is deeper than some realize. The reward of doing good is that GOOD EXISTS. When we accept the responsibility of doing good, a little more good enters the world (sometimes a lot) and a little more darkness is beaten back. Maybe by doing good you will save all of Archenland. Or maybe by doing good you will remind someone there is good in the world and refresh their dwindling hope. It may be hard, but is worth it.

Such is the nature of doing good, then.

you really do turn thirty and everything is different and sometimes better. if you're in line for thirty stay in line bro

partnered sexual activity should be mutually beneficial, mutually wanted, and mutually pleasurable. it should be free from harm and abuse. it should provide a feeling of satisfaction, joy, companionship, and relaxation. it should not feel like something to overcome, something to master, something to deliver, something to perform, or something to recover from. it should be done with someone worth being vulnerable and trusting with, it should be worth having that connection carry with you for the rest of your life. your sexual partners may come and go, you may not love them, or you may think you did, or you might just want to act on very intense feelings in the moment that are special then but in the light of day evaporates, and that's okay that's life, life is messy and untidy. But you'll remember this person, and you will share with them this memory, even if you fall out of touch, and so they should be worthy to you. Your body, your life, your memories, your pleasure, your future, your bared self...these should be special to share, this should be an important decision. don't let bad people trick you into thinking it's just a transaction and nothing more. don't let people use you as masturbation. you gain nothing from that.

once I snorted a fat line of nuance and everything started depending. watch out

i really need to shake some people and say “being passive in every situation does not mean you are not making active choices and it does not absolve you from harming others. consistently choosing to do nothing in every situation and believing that you couldn’t have possibly been the problem because you chose inaction and not a more agressive approach can in fact also be harmful.” because this keeps happening and its driving me nuts

writing is just sitting in front of a computer and making up problems for imaginary people while ignoring your own. fun and casual hobby.
