The Random Thoughts of Riley & Chester

Excuse me I was doing this in the 90s

sometimes reading an old book, even if it’s a classic that was important in literature, is an experience of “if you take a shot for every racist thing in it your liver will combust”

I love that Dracula adaptations and spinoffs continually characterize Van Helsing as a badass veteran monster hunter when in reality he was called in because Jack Seward was like "Well he's the smartest guy I know and we've tried everything else so...." and then he pulled up like "Ah yes I've read a LOT of books about vampires so we're gonna hope they were right." And then he was thankfully correct.

i get why people don't believe in marriage as a social construct but legally it is the best and easiest way to say "this is who i trust to take care of me when i can't take care of myself" and i'm so glad gay people fought for that right bc when shit gets scary at least i know im in good hands

constantly trying to see the inherent good in people is a humiliation ritual that i continue to willingly participate in
