Was trying to make a joke about TV writing to my friend the other day and had to pause and go "...does the phrase 'surf dracula' mean anything to you?"

we need to talk about the selfishness epidemic. sometimes called the chain of selfishness or selfishness cascade (by me). someone gets hurt so they have to focus on taking care of themselves for a while. that’s fine, makes sense. sometimes someone gets hurt very badly, or has been hurt continually for a long time, and they have to completely relearn how to live without putting others first to the extent that their own safety and happiness is compromised. also fair and makes sense. millions of people have been so hurt for so long that they develop an entire philosophy around putting themselves and their own comfort above others and others’ comfort. less cool. everyone encounters everyone else putting themselves first and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy of always having to put yourself first because everyone else is putting themselves first. cascade. chain. cycle. it’s like we forgot why we live in societies. humans ARE animals but it’s like people in cars and supermarkets are operating under jungle survival instincts in regards to the trust and grace we extend to other people in our own fucking communities. just be fucking courteous, damn. imagine for a second that everyone around you is also a whole person
