And how many people are dying as “acceptable collateral damage” due to capitalism and the global structures of imperialism that churn through the lives of workers in the global south? Also, iterative change within the system (if it even worked) is just a commitment to more and more years of people dying and suffering so their blood can fuel the gears of business.

You view the violence necessary to uphold this system as moral neutral, as not violence because it is non-transgressive, or you are ignorant of its existence, but it is the ongoing price of the status quo. How many diabetics have died because they couldn’t afford insulin, how many other disabled people died because they couldn’t afford care, how many exploited nations in the imperial periphery have a paucity of medical care because their wealth is continually looted?

The hypothetical power cuts under a revolution factor in for you, but not the deaths due to the repeated failures of the Texas power grid, let alone the deaths of the miners around the globe who dig up rare earth metals for a pittance so we can have cheap consumer goods.

“So here’s the thing,” said Casey.

Abby squinted at him. “You’re Casey McCall.”

“That’s correct.”

“You’re Danny’s partner.”

He nodded, feeling stiff and awkward. “I was, yes.”

Abby rocked back in her chair, contemplating him. “You should probably find a different therapist.”

ahahahahahaha you KNOW Tony’s gonna have an ANEURYSM over all that beautiful blond patriotism

Ok but now that I know Johnny canonically cries at heartbreak I want more Pinings+Misunderstandings where he gets misty

Have you watched Longmire? I feel like it would either be right up your alley or a big "ehhhh nah"

I am 3000% sure someone has already told you this BUT ON THE OTHER HAND I don't trust other people in the healthcare field further than I can throw them, so: in the unlikely event no one has actually biopsied your intestine, you can be sero-negative and still have celiac. If you haven't had a colonoscopy with biopsy it's not actually ruled out. (If you have, I'm sorry, I SWEAR I am not trying to be the "but have you tried..." person.)

Yeeeep. It also doesn’t matter anymore anyway cause I have an allergy to wheat overall so I avoid everything with wheat and gluten in it to avoid the death thing. 

Oh my god, now I have to embarrass myself by confessing that, though I saw Clue in the theatre when it first came out, I remember almost nothing about it except Tim Curry’s eyerolls and droll delivery, Martin Mull’s mustache, and the one truly vibrant thing: Madeline Kahn’s “flames on the side of my face.” Like, I couldn’t tell you anything else about it, but maybe that’s the whole point because she slayed everything else in that movie.

I will say that when I played the board game as a kid, I always wanted to be Mrs. Peacock or Prof. Plum, not because of any affiliation with who they were supposed to be, but because they were my favorite colors. Being a synesthete, that was all that mattered to me! So whichever murder they might have done would probably be my favorite--and I am pleased with any of the weapons.
