if you dont want print media to die, buy physical copies of things. if you don’t want independent journalism to die, subscribe to a local newspaper. if you want more libraries and skate-parks and arcades, get a bunch of friends and call in the individual charge of your village or town or whatever and ask for one to be built and use the existing ones. if you want more native flora and fauna, start looking at the ones that already exist and how to preserve them. this is your world too. fight for it. get rid of the rot of passivity.

When I was about 9-10 years old, I had learned the word ’horny’ from somewhere (probably that song literally called Horny which was on the radio a lot in the 90s) but had no idea what it meant, and I also didn’t really have a great understanding of sex, so I’m not sure I would have properly understood what it meant even if someone had told me. But at some point my child brain had decided that horny meant ‘cool’ - but specifically the kind of ‘cool’ associated with the 90s, ie wearing baseball caps back to front, sunglasses, riding skateboards and doing thumbs up poses, or all of those things at once.

I don’t know why. Its very possible that at some point I asked someone what horny meant, specifically because of that song, and they had told me it meant ‘cool’ to deflect an awkward question. Or maybe I saw someone say a character was horny, and they had sunglasses on. I don’t know. All I knew was that the word was apparently kind of funny and maybe you weren’t allowed to say it, but I thought that was because the characters that were ‘horny’ were TOO cool, the kind of cool that parents disapproved of, like Bart Simpson.

Anyway! Because of all this when I was 8-9 I used to frequently draw pictures of random characters with sunglasses or riding skateboards or doing other Cool 90s things with speech bubbles saying “I’m horny!’ At some point I decided that the idea of a nun wearing sunglasses was the FUNNIEST thing ever, and so that’s why this picture I just discovered again exists, and I’m going to share it with all of you so you can understand why it needed three paragraphs of context.
