Genuine question, what is the response to people talking about the attacks in Texas on ICE? They say, see, look how dangerous it is! Those leftist crazies are willing to shoot at ICE, and you want to give them an ability (via doxxing) to get at their homes? And families? And children? 😢 Why should ICE go unmasked with loonies like that around?

Like, obviously there's the "grow up that's literally the job that you willingly signed up for" response, and the "maybe don't abduct people and you won't get shot at" response, but I'm wondering if I'm missing something more nuanced that could be more persuasive in conversation with right leaning people.

if you don’t want people watching you, filming you and following you, you shouldn’t become a member of law enforcement. lol. ICE agents seething and not coping at all with the slightest amount of public pressure. if you’re that private, maybe you should stay at home. like the immigrants you’re harassing would like to do.

Actual roman epitaph for a dog

[chlorinewriter]

it's not a true pet peeve but when certain phrases are divorced from their contexts it does give me a weird little butterfly in my stomach.

like, okay. "hell is other people" is an excellent line from Sartre's play "no exit". it's very short, you could probably read it in an afternoon or two. but the line isn't making a commentary about all people - it's actually specifically about the 3 characters in the play. they're all very bad people who are legitimately being punished in-actual-hell. they are forced into a room together for eternity & have been hand-picked to be as annoying as possible to each other as punishment for the sins they committed while alive.

and that concept is crazy! i don't write fanfiction but imagine what characters would be actual torture for each other! "hell is other people" isn't condemning humanity - it is saying we create hell from other people.

or like - shakespeare's "brevity is the soul of wit"! that is a joke line said by a joke character. polonius constantly talks too much and says fucking nothing of use. while hamlet is having like, the worst year of anyone's life - polonius gives really fucking vague and useless advice, including such popular sayings as: "to thine own self be true" and "neither a borrower or a lender be." when he says brevity is the soul of wit, it is meant ironically for the audience - this is a man who never shuts the fuck up. he himself is not brief, and therefore witless.

stuff like this just makes me wonder like - how many idioms or sayings come from completely different contexts and we just. fogrgot :(

Old art share

Some much older traditional art this time, some from 2013 and earlier.

Prince With a Thousand Enemies actually nabbed me a Daily Deviation on Deviantart when that actually meant something.

Frith’s Blessing was a followup

The Black Rabbit of Inlé was modeled after my first rabbit Hoshi and was an ode to the story when the titular prince of rabbits joins his ghostly owsla. Hoshi died of e.cuniculi which is a parasitic infection all rabbits carry until it presents itself as a head tilt and neurological issues. So it’s kind of fitting that the prince went there to save his people from disease. This was painted before he presented any symptoms and he was a king amongst rabbits.

And El Ahrairah was a commission

The lack of agreement across brands on what “extra firm tofu” is is, in fact, very high on my list of unimportant problems.
