the courage of stars

Guys… we have to do the main quest at some point

the thing about CC is that she did plagiarize. she was found guilty of plagiarism and banned from fanfiction dot net! she plagiarized pamela dean, among others, and lied about it repeatedly! it happened! and regardless of whatever else she writes, regardless of whether the publishing industry and her fans trust her not to do it again, regardless of how many times her wikipedia page gets scrubbed clean, that will always have happened! so it is not in fact cruel gossip, but a factually true statement, to say that she plagiarized and i'm not interested in supporting her or giving her the benefit of the doubt because she plagiarized and lied about it repeatedly! fuck!

so frustrating to be a skeptic with a sense of whimsy because like. I want there to be cryptids. I want there to be magic. I want there to be evidence of something we don't fully understand and can't explain. but then 99% of the "proof" out there for that stuff is like. the most obvious scam you've ever seen in your life.

sometimes you just have to say "you are all so fucking stupid" and scroll past

blood magic isn’t even that big of a deal you guys are just sensitive

i'm actually curious, what trinkets do you guys have on your keychains? 🗝️

it’s infuriating when the customer is wrong yes we all know this. however it’s probably 10000x worse when the customer is right, because what do you MEAN my coworker deleted 7 of your fucking accounts off of your profile when you just wanted to edit them and now I have to deal with it??? i can’t even be pissed that you’re being a bitch about it because i would be too!!! fuck!!!!

you've heard of death of the author, now get ready for death of the audience: where instead of basing your reaction on a thousand uninformed opinions online, you actually read the text and engage with it

girl help there's people on this post who can't actually read my text

i think it's insane that we live in a day and age where people consider it elitist to prefer candidates who are educated and experienced when it comes to public office

Watching a certain flavor of leftist spoil and ratfuck the upcoming elections is even more dispiriting to watch as a fed rn. We're barely holding on. Even at my evil govt job that they would crucify me for working at, our career employees and leaders are holding the line, slow-rolling, maliciously complying, and ignoring (when we can get away with it) whatever illegal batshit insane horrific thing the ghouls whove been handed the reins of our agencies can come up with. And everyone - EVERYONE - is taking hits and taking hits and holding out if we can for this coming election. Everyone is talking about November and what the posture will be like at christmas. Its the only silver lining. The stakes have only gotten higher since 2024. We're fatigued, and tired. And a bunch of bored ingrates with too much time on their hands and a fundamental misunderstanding of the extent of their own privilege are trying their damnedest to pry our fingers off the ledge
