it's so funny how graffiti is like a non issue that effortlessly reveals peoples' reactionary tendencies.

Just checking.... We all pronounce Miette like My-TAY in our heads, right?

it is tempting to assume btw that harry is "the most mentally ill man in the world!!!!" or whatever, but he's probably the average level of mentally ill for people in his situation. he isn't this uniquely monstrous wreck who abuses more substances than anyone else ever has. in martinaise alone you can meet like 5 people who are doing even worse than harry. kim says several times that he's seen much worse than day one harry and i BELIEVE him. i think harry wasn't immediately fired from the police after the unsolveable case bc this stuff is relatively normal for cops to do in precinct 41. disco elysium isn't pointing at harry and going "gawk at this uniquely awful man for no reason!! isn't he horrible in a clownish way!!" they're making a point abt the effects of capitalism and imperialism on the disenfranchised poor

DISCO ELYSIUM + (some kind of) HOPE

People do realise there's something in between "the 1%" and "the struggling poor", right? You realise there are a lot of people not in "the 1%" who are legitimately rich by any reasonable metric?

And that being rich does not automatically make a person inhuman scum or "the enemy", but does open them up to scrutiny when they come at you cap in hand?

Nuances, people. Nuances.

As someone who is trans and in love and goes to protest I had a lot of feelings about that art in disco elysium. It's so good

When kids (AKA anyone younger than a millenial) today try to picture life before ubiquitous internet they always freak out about not having a maps app to get to places, or social networks, etc. But there’s something you can’t comprehend and that everyone who was a teenager or older before the late 00s have imprinted in our DNA: The boredom.

Nowadays, you can’t even start imagining how deep boredom can be. You can’t understand that infinite dread you feel when you lose your bus home and the next one don’t arrive until an hour later, so you know you are going to be waiting at the bus stop for an hour without absolutely nothing to do but looking at cars passing by.

“Use your gifts and your talents to greatest possible effect while you can. Spread joy wherever possible. Laugh at jokes. Tell jokes. Make puns and bugger the embuggerances. Read books. Read my books. You might like them. You might find something else you like even more than them. Look for these things in life.

Question authority. Champion good causes. Speak out against injustice. Do not tolerate bullies or bigots or racists or anti-intellectuals or the narrow-minded. Use your education to challenge them. Broaden their perspectives. Make the world you interface with a happier place.

These are your choices. Choices you have been fortunate to have been given, so don’t waste them while you have them. Don’t look back in years to come and wish you had grasped a fleeting opportunity. Grasp it now with both hands, Live. Strive. Love.”

One of the greatest compliments I've ever received is that I resemble Sam Vimes.

Mind how you go.
