The devil is pretty consistently associated with music across every abrahamic religion that has him. Which is neat. I don't believe in hell, but I think it would be funny if it involved poetically relevant big band jazz numbers about how you shouldn'tve enjoyed that fifth road beer.

Hi my name is Ozy'mandias, King of Kings and I have two vast and trunkless legs of stone and a frown and wrinkled lip and a lot of people tell me I look like the Younger Memnon (a/n if you don't know who he is get da hell out of here!). I'm a statue but my visage is shattered and lies half sunk on the sand. I’m also a colossal wreck, and I stand in the desert of an antique land where I’ve been for a really long time (I’m ancient). I’m a lifeless thing (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly the passions the sculptor read and stamped on me, which yet survive. I love sculptors and I get all my expressions from there. For example today I was wearing a sneer of cold command and a black leather miniskirt, pink fishnets and black combat boots. I was wearing black lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and red eye shadow. I was standing in the desert. The lone and level sands were boundless and bare, which I was very happy about. A lot of mighty looked upon my works and despaired. I put my middle finger up at them.

out trans people like to try to convince closeted/repressed trans people who are in a position to transition, to transition as soon as possible, by saying "i badly regret not starting earlier". i don't think it's a very effective argument on its own. most closeted/repressed trans people have heard the same thing numerous times, they're deathly aware of it, they're already wracked with the regret of not transitioning today, every single day. simply telling them that the regret never leaves you doesn't have any convincing power. it might only make them feel even more hopeless or guilty. to draw from my honest personal experience, i would instead tell them:

"eventually—maybe slowly, and not always all the time, but surely—you'll notice that the regret of not starting earlier is drowned out by the joy and contentness of finally feeling truer to yourself. you won't have to live stuck permanently ruminating on past what-could-have-beens anymore, you'll be able to live in the present as yourself."

I know there is absolutely no way it would ACTUALLY be true, but my brain was immediately like 'okay, but what if Horses just THRIVE in Zero-G' like, in REALITY the first horse in space will be so stressed and probably have to be, like, encased in a full-body harness of some type to stop it freaking out that gravity has broken, but my mind is a wonderland of 'how did the horse get out and How is it maneuvering through the ship better than the crew who have made this trip back and forth a dozen times over?'

while i am not denying that so called australia is part of, and complicit in the harm perpetrated by, the imperial core, i would like add a dash of nuance to the "australians complaining about american-centrism is disengenuous because it's just complaining about watching American movies" take going around. this post is not a "you should feel sorry for Australia" post or trying obfuscate this nation's complicity in genocides abroad (Palestine, Papua, etc) and, of course, this nation's own ongoing genocide against Blakfellas. however, Australians complaining about US imperialism isn't just complaining about movies. there are multiple US military bases on stolen Aboriginal land, US intelligence overthrew at least one socialist-leaning Prime Minister in the last 50 years, and American mining companies frequently desecrate sacred Aboriginal sites as well as doing irreparable environmental damage. even if we were to just talk about movies, you wanna look me as a Blakfella in the eye and tell me that Arrival (2016), one of the biggest movies ever, which featured a scene in which a main character refers to Aboriginal people as an "extinct species", is a non-issue? The thing about so-called "soft" US imperialism is that it means, for Aboriginal peoples, our sovereignty is doubly violated by both the US and UK. it means we are twice colonised, and for settlers, it means living in a so-called "democracy" that can, will and has been tampered with by foreign powers on a whim against the will of the people. of course, our domestic federal government bears a significant portion of responsibility in all of this. and again, i am not denying the nation's positionality and complicity in the imperial core. But I simply refuse, as an Aboriginal person, to accept the notion that ppl in so-called australia have no legitimate grievance with US-centricism.

watching a video and realizing I miss the term "flame war", it was JUST tongue-in-cheek goofy enough of a term to describe how silly it was to carry on long arguments online over shit that doesn't matter and was often started/spurned by a troll. Now ALL of it is just "discourse" or "engagement" which feels like they put a godawful slap of PR paint over the surface of flame wars like a cheap landlord looking to charge 1000 dollars more for the same crumbling walls

funny to see stories of ppl dealing with anxiety and thinking damn man that’s rough so glad I don’t have anxiety while somehow not realizing u are having daily panic attacks

[lordlyhour]

Endlessly diabolical how you can't say words like rape and suicide uncensored without either being criticised by idiots or punished by conglomerates.

the semantic drift of the term "liminal" genuinely pisses me off and i know its petty. LIMINAL IS A TRANSITIONAL STAGE BETWEEN TWO STATES- OR. IF WE WANT TO WIDEN THE BOUNDARY HERE. IT COULD BE ON THE VERY EDGE OF BECOMING SOMETHING ELSE. just because something is abandoned doesn't mean its liminal. in fact, that shopping mall was MORE liminal when it was dying off and shutting down outlets every month than it is 5 years later when the space is fully abandoned.
