The term "book of the dead" doesnt really give you perspective to how big a lot of Egyptian funerary texts are.

one day I’ll get over it and the lump in my throat when I try to talk about it won’t exist

my friend asked if i was gonna stop laughing at wonderwall jokes.

Last survivor of an extinct alien civilisation who regards this as a personal victory.

so many misguided metaphors around violence and desire. if the open maw of a panting beast fills you with the want to be devoured, that does not make you prey. while the rabbit trembles in fear, its deepest desire is to run. evolution demands it. in fact, the desire to be eaten does not make you any small animal at all.

when avoiding the task doesn’t even free you from the obligation of it because youll still be thinking about it fucking constantly

Just because you want to be a soulless soot bag of a human doesn't mean you can just tell others they have to be that too Gregory!

“The LEGO Movie was my favorite movie of 2014, but it strikes me that the main character was male, because I feel like in our current culture, he HAD to be. The whole point of Emmett is that he’s the most boring average person in the world. It’s impossible to imagine a female character playing that role, because according to our pop culture, if she’s female she’s already SOMEthing, because she’s not male. The baseline is male. The average person is male. You can see this all over but it’s weirdly prevalent in children’s entertainment. Why are almost all of the muppets dudes, except for Miss Piggy, who’s a parody of femininity? Why do all of the Despicable Me minions, genderless blobs, have boy names? I love the story (which I read on Wikipedia) that when the director of The Brave Little Toaster cast a woman to play the toaster, one of the guys on the crew was so mad he stormed out of the room. Because he thought the toaster was a man. A TOASTER. The character is a toaster. I try to think about that when writing new characters— is there anything inherently gendered about what this character is doing? Or is it a toaster?”
