“our teeth and ambitions are bared” is a zeugma

and it’s a zeugma where one of the words is literal and one is metaphorical which is the BEST KIND

i think it’d be easier to understand double bookkeeping if people more often talked about the difference between knowing something and believing it.

- you can know your friends love you, but not believe it.

- you can know nobody is spying on you, but not believe it.

- you can know you don’t have to be perfect, but not believe it.

- you can know your thoughts won’t affect reality, but not believe it.

knowing that your belief is false doesn’t always mean you stop believing it.

sketch-comms for @h1from2eyed thank you again!

some autistic people will never be able to have a job or live alone, some women that are transvestigated in bathrooms will have a penis, sometimes a trans women will win a sport she is "naturally" gifted in such as being really tall and playing basketball and sometimes the homeless guy panhandling really will just spend that money on cigarettes and scratchers instead of food. they are still human beings that dont deserve to be tormented by the legal system and paranoid freaks

THE mental features discoursed of as the analytical, are, in themselves, but little susceptible of analysis. We appreciate them only in their effects. We know of them, among other things, that they are always to their possessor, when inordinately possessed, a source of the liveliest enjoyment. As the strong man exults in his physical ability, delighting in such exercises as call his muscles into action, so glories the analyst in that moral activity which disentangles. He derives pleasure from even the most trivial occupations bringing his talents into play. He is fond of enigmas, of conundrums, of hieroglyphics; exhibiting in his solutions of each a degree of acumen which appears to the ordinary apprehension preternatural. His results, brought about by the very soul and essence of method, have, in truth, the whole air of intuition.
