hey man, I need to call out today. yeah, sorry, I just suffer from a profound exhaustion whose source is not purely physical, making it impossible to truly cure. yeah I'll be in tomorrow. thanks.

if you think about it, Anakin IS the guy who goes "if anything happens to her I'll kill everyone in this room and then myself"

me holding a gun to a mushroom: tell me the name of god you fungal piece of shit

mushroom: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters

me cocking the gun, tears streaming down my face: I’M NOT FUCKING SCARED OF YOU

My most insincere apologies - what part of "I'd crush every billionaire to dust slowly if I were a God" was not clear?

Especially delusional boys who think they're hot shit when they're built like a Lego, or off brand Lex Luther.

The Stars Whisper

If we turned out all the lights

How long would it take for the stars to return

Because I am of the opinion that they would not want to if given the opportunity

Darkness has its appeal

Perhaps they have grown comfortable in the safety that isolation brings

Sometimes I think I hear their voices

Distant echos of beautiful nights and half-asleep sunrises

I turn expecting to see them

Only to come face to face with the endless emptiness consuming the sky

Bystander Intervention Training

so, the US just attacked Iran, and that is fucking terrible. Something we all need to think about right now is how we can stop the harassment and violence against Muslims and Arabs in the US that got so much worse in the early 2000s from happening again to people now.

To that end, I wanted to share some resources on Bystander Intervention. One of the biggest things I learned from training like this is that there are many ways to intervene, and they don't all involve putting yourself in front of the person who may harm you or others. It's ok if you feel intimidated by that because there are more ways to help! And once you do the training, it might not be so scary.

Right to Be has Bystander trainings based on the 5Ds of Bystander Intervention (Distract, Delegate, Document, Delay, and Direct). The trainings are free!! sign up here.

I took one of their trainings a few years ago (when the org was called Hollaback!) and it was really very good, they have trainings at multiple levels and focused on various topics. They also partner with other orgs to focus on specific issues (like anti-AAPI harassment and with CAIR Chicago for anti-Muslim harassment, etc.).

Here are a few more resources:

I think I'll sign up for one as a refresher.

Something that I get chills about is the fact that the oldest story told made by the oldest civilization opens with "In those days, in those distant days, in those ancient nights."

This confirms that there is a civilization older than the Sumerians that we have yet to find

Some people get existential dread from this

Me? I think it's fucking awesome it shows just how much of this world we have yet to discover and that is just fascinating
