It’s almost as if nobody wants to admit that they might not be prepared to do the work it takes to love somebody. And it can be laborious. To be intimate with someone who is flawed (which is the standard) requires us to expose our own flaws. We don’t talk about the heavy responsibility of that. We don’t talk about how we’re too lazy or too cowardly sometimes. We instead accuse love of being elusive. It isn’t. It is omnipresent. It asks us to be better people. And sometimes we flat out refuse.
This Ramadan, please consider helping out with Walaa’s gofundme for her family to evacuate from Gaza - she is not even halfway to her goal so please share and donate if you can. Thank you
A little girl in my 4th grade class came up to me after recess and said, “I got married at recess!” and I said “Oh? I didn’t know anyone was ordained under the age of twelve.” and she asked me what ordained meant and I explained and then she said “Oh, well, no, my wife and I were married by the slide, but we’ll be happy together anyway.”
So apparently on school playgrounds, slides are already legalizing same-sex marriage.
Doodles for THE ADVENTURE OF THE YELLOW FACE (a title which has NOT aged particularly well but is referring to a weird wax mask) - in which Holmes fails to both come up with the correct solution AND to make a confession to his friend.
the way the hobocop trash scene works is that it’s the devs beating the player with a hammer and hoping they get the point. not everyone who plays this game understands homelessness or even considers the unhoused. this is an event you can unlock within your first set of interactions and initially for other players it’s maybe framed entirely as a joke. hobocop.
but the game follows through with it, it’s not a silly dialogue option and it’s not a way to get out of paying your tab each night. it’s snowing in Revachol and the weather will kill you. it’s meant to help radicalize the average player and prep them for Disco's larger communist narrative.
i think people who act like porn or sex work or kinks or fetishes are inherently brainrotting are losers who need to get over themselves but i think the people who act like porn or sex work or kinks or fetishes can NEVER negatively affect someone are delusional lol
