we all fall apart

god i love people who refer to anything as an adventure. 

I started writing that verse because I was thinking about how our references to being amazing are actually a reference to killing somebody: killing it, slaying it, dragging someone. If we are a society that can use aggressiveness as a compliment, then [why do] we look at these people coming on the boats as like, “Oh my God, this is white genocide, they’re coming to kill us!”? I’m really confused. I don’t know where kindness and compassion and humanity come through in our popular culture. The same language that we apply to these people—”These people are coming to kill us! We’re going to kill them! We need to slay the threat!”—is then applied to a picture where your lipstick looks good. That’s kind of how it started: the concept of reigning and being a queen and slaying people appreciates you being quite a selfish, power-hungry human, and it’s praise. That’s the values we uphold. I think these are questions that a refugee or a migrant would go through. Maybe in 20 years one of them will be like me, but a lot of them just want to come over and have a flat screen and drive a car and get a job and be on that pecking order where they’re going to be called bae or queen. They want to be slaying it. Not in a way that they want to blow up the local McDonald’s. They’re the same as everyone else. They want to look good and wear nice clothes and have a nice job and be seen doing well.

me: hey can i have some money?
