tweaking Salem's design a bit

There’s around one and a half Frances between me and the Amazon rainforest.

I had no idea “coach” could also mean “bus” until like, a second ago and I stared at your reply in disbelief for a good minute because I thought you were telling me to do the trip in a horse-drawn carriage. I was like “Coach?! Like Cinderella?! Where would I even get- that HAS to be slower than a car!”

he was so delighted by my fits of giggles that he drew eight wet skeletons for me

I mean, in theory I know that Excel is based on the structure of earlier accounting technology that's been around for hundreds of years -- what do we think we did to track commerce before computers? -- but it still kind of blows my mind to, for example, look at my ancestor's journal from a whaling voyage in 1770 and see spreadsheets in the back.

I think there's something fundamentally baffling with the way most of you think.

It is a conscious choice, made over and over, often several times a day, to treat people with kindness and respect, even when they make it hard. So appreciate the consistently kind people in your life, because they work hard to be that way, and they really don't have to.

If anything it should count MORE when it's not effortless.

“How dare you pretend to be their friend!” — nope, never did that. Just gave a shit about somebody even if they sucked, and that’s apparently punishable by being unperson’d.

How much property damage has Cloud genuinely left in the wake of their Sephiroth hunt? Because that mfer does not care jack about shit half the time. No wonder Shinra always finds them so easily, just follow the path of insurance claims.

exactly!!! like, when my friend wants to hang out but I have the flu, I say "sorry I have the flu i don't wanna get you sick" and i will not rest until we live in a world where it's just as normalized to say "sorry I have chlamydia I don't want to get you sick" when someone wants to have sex

The worst part about gonorrhea is having to tell previous partners they should get tested, but the only reason that’s the worst part is because of the stigma around it. Everyone in a friend group or office catching the same cold isn’t treated with the same stigma, even though it’s the exact same thing (if anything, worse, because when you have a cold you know it and you allowed your friends to be exposed, when you’ve got gonorrhea you often don’t even know).
