i think that every child should have unrestricted access to thick blackberry brambles or some other delicious fruit that grows encased in a painful fortress. i think wading through thorns to reach the cluster of shining ripe berries you spied through a gap between the tangled vines teaches you something important. not sure what though

“How many Sundays – how many hundreds of Sundays like this – lay ahead of me? “Quiet, peaceful and lonely,” I said aloud to myself.

Fun fact of the day: There is no actual historical proof that women were persecuted for and convicted of witchcraft more than men were. Especially when taking different regions around the world into consideration. By the way, did you know that witch hunts were not solely a European thing.

minos was such a pussy. if my wife gave birth to an epic minotaur baby i wouldn't have locked him in a labyrinth. i would have taken him to the mcdonalds play place (athens) every day and let him eat as many stray mcnuggets (athenians) off the floor as he wanted. i love you hungry son

I was at the coffeeshop in the village and someone asked me how my llamas are doing, and a woman overheard and told me that when she was a kid, her parents used to have a couple of llamas in their sheep farm, and every single sheep in their flock imprinted on one of the two llamas. Each sheep chose the best most charismatic llama according to mysterious sheep criteria, and never wavered in their ovine loyalty. Each of the two llamas was worshiped by a small sub-flock of devoted sheep who followed him everywhere like Jesus’s apostles and only left their field for transhumance when led by “their” llama. The funniest thing is the way this woman overheard the word “llama” and immediately came to sit next to me to tell me this, like she had waited since childhood to share her bewilderment about the two religious congregations of sheep led by rival llama prophets in her family farm.

if you guys thought you had a weird middle school experience my whole grade was convinced I was an actual literal werewolf for 3 years to the point where people were afraid of me so come 8th grade the popular girl had a huge Halloween party on her farm that everyone went to that just happened to coincide with the full moon so I staged a whole elaborate ‘transformation’ at the end of the night and scared the shit out of all of them. I don’t think I’ll ever top that

Cops say that they live in constant fear of having to defend themselves and being wrongly seen as murderers.

If that were true, they'd be demanding that all of their interactions be filmed from multiple angles in order to make it very clear that using deadly force was the only reasonable option available.

Instead, they complain about being filmed.

Cops say that their job is very dangerous and that every interaction they have could be their last.

If that were true, they'd be grateful that people want to repeal laws against victimless actions, use social workers instead of police to deal with mental illness, and reduce crime by making sure everyone has what they need to survive.

Instead, they complain whenever those policy changes are proposed.

They're not trying to protect their safety. They're trying to protect their power.
