The Garden

Is it odd that I find this comforting? At the end of the day, I'm just a speck of dust, loved by God. And nothing else seems to matter much in light of that.

There really is nothing hotter than competence and sincerity…

you've got to admit you were wrong every once in a while. it gives other people false hope that they can convince you of things

the Jupiter, Bringer of Jollity playing over the baseline of Gymnopedie nearly broke me..

not only is the mash-up perfect but the little faces bring me immense joy

it's forever fucked that refusal is associated so strongly with cowardice and cowardice is almost universally uncontestedly seen as an existential failure that disqualifies you from the right to refuse anything when being able to admit that you're afraid and say "no" are some of the most powerful things that anyone can do

"why don't you want to? are you scared?" yes. is that so bad? to be afraid and unwilling? why should that be worth less? why should i hope to be the richest corpse in the graveyard?

my knight insists he can sense evil but so far this ability mostly applies to beautiful women who are courting the prince and nicer than average innkeepers

Hahaha!

"I'm going to become the Joker" this, "I'm going to become Batman" that. I'm going to become Howell Jenkins and wander between the worlds I've somehow gotten myself caught between, running various errands and sometimes carrying a dead wizard's guitar and/or playing it badly.

You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.

Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?

It’s also huge in Australia, New Zealand (where it was invented), England, and Canada. This is not a USA problem, this is a problem spread across the entire English Speaking world. USA was not the one who made the inventor of this system a Dame.

reblog if you would never make a tumblr
