everything looks like a nail when you've got a hammer and every song is actually about the character when they're on your mind 24/7

you gotta be able to say "die"

you gotta be able to say "suicide"

you gotta be able to talk about "sex"

they're uncomfortable topics, YEAH for SURE

because LIFE is uncomfortable. Death and suicide and sex and pain are straight up going to happen. not having words for the way it discomforts you doesn't make it more comfortable, it just makes you less able to reach out about it.

even more vital, you gotta be able to say words like "rape", "abuse", "queer" or "racist". cause we fought fucking hard to name those experiences. to identify "rape" as distinct from "sex" and "racism" as distinct from "acceptable behaviour" and "queer" as distinct from "invert"

like the function of communication is not to minimise immediate discomfort. we gotta be able to talk about stuff that's hard or sucks or causes difficult conversations.

I love that the English language has so many words for a large collection of things with no obvious organising principle. Hodgepodge. Welter. Myriad. Plethora. Farrago. Jumble. Miscellany.

the fundamental problem on this website is that if a homeless person tried to talk to most of y’all you’d be scared out of your minds

What if the end of K6BD involves Allison using her under used barista skills to make a cup of jo so good it convinces Jagganoth to not destroy reality.

Ive never really met anyone that thought of ribs as interesting… that’s such a shame. Ribs and the things they do are fascinating…. I think about them everyday.
