The Fertile Crescent

God giving humans both a conscious and unconscious mind, hiding your true nature from yourself as a running gag.

Vegetarians/vegans are so annoying when they're like, "There's no way to ethically kill an animal." Like, dude. Have you seen how animals kill each other in nature? Venomous snakes watch their prey cripple from venom, or sometimes Grizzly bears eat their prey alive (there are endless examples)💀💀 Be happy that the animals we eat are shot or have their throats slit!!

You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do.

The current season is always superior to the previous season because it resolves the previous one like an unfinished musical chord.

Acne is all like, "Hey, you don't have any meetings? That's cool. Well, I'm going to take a leave of absence until you need to have a bunch of face-to-face interactions. See you around!"

yeah, many such cases. but there doesn't seem to be a clear solution. just... the inevitability of the void, consuming the souls of the damned. unfortunately this means innocents will also ... *gestures vaguely at the horror*

People often assume that states like Texas, North, or South Carolina are conservative. But they're not at all like people assume.

For example, I live in the Carolinas. And there's a lot of progressive culture. I mean, a dose of healthy liberalism isn't such a bad thing.

Yet sometimes, it's surprising. Like, there's a lot of sex work culture here. That's maybe the most ancient profession of all time, right?

But almost every time I hear from people who are involved in it, it's genuinely horrifying.

It seems like every story goes, "I got into sex work. Then I started using drugs. Then one day I got pregnant. Then I kept doing drugs while I was pregnant. Then I learned my child and I both have [HIV/hepatitis/preventable disease] and my child now has [lifelong condition related to drugs or disease]."

And this is just a super unfortunate and heart breaking set of affairs. Unfortunately it's a super common pattern in the city I currently reside in.

Maybe it's not like this everywhere. But I sort of can't help but view it as an indictment on certain overlapping cultures.

I think 90% of conspiracy theorists would be a lot happier if they just bit the bullet and got into creative writing

I saw a man this morning going from tree to tree, painstakingly painting each leaf of every tree yellow, red, and gold, one by one. I always wondered how they got that way.
