welcome to 2025

 i tried to be funny and it backfired miserably

all the “peer pressure is bad” education we give kids is practically useless because all it cares about is telling them that Drugs Are Evil rather than the much more useful lesson of ‘the person who responds to you saying you don’t drink by telling you they’ll find a way to get you to is also going to be shitty about all your other boundaries’.

something i have always found really weird is when english texts italicize words from other languages.

i remember reading a book as a kid and the author continually italicizing the word tamales

doing some research on Arthurian figures, and just had to shout Bedwyr Bedrydant, Bedwyr of the Perfect Sinew, a one-handed handsome warrior who has a magical spear. iconic, who's doing it like him?

Thinking about how CS Lewis officially lost his faith, squelched in the mud and despair of the trenches in World War I, and wrote poetry railing against God—then made friends with Tolkien, who had lost quite literally all but one of his original friends just a hundred or so miles away in the same trenches. And how Lewis became The friend for Tolkien, which brought together a whole group of them. And how Tolkien brought his faith back to Lewis. And when the next dark night came, when the Germans were bombing them in their own homes this time, the BBC cast about for a voice to provide faith and hope to the nation, and found Lewis to do it. The man who’d been crushed by the last trenches and brought out of it by faith. And meanwhile Tolkien with the encouragement of his friend Lewis would be creating eucatastrophe in his epic that would settle for Tolkien and many others the gloom of despair into unlooked for hope.
