must a fictional relationship be “healthy” or “functional”? is it not enough to simply watch two made up people destroy each other, hand in unlovable hand???

The world's poor are already shaping up to have another bad millennium. That would make it nine bad millenia in a row for the poor, which is beginning to look like a habit. The problem is that the poor, as a race, continue to repeat the same mistakes year after year, generation after generation, epoch after epoch. They consistently leave themselves vulnerable to dangerous predators such as famine, drought, other natural disasters, the harsh expediencies of global capitalism, Western indifference and/or imperialism (the two often dancing hand-in-hand like the illict lovers they are), and crocodiles.

Poverty being relative (a child in a playground with 50 pounds is rich, a man in a Rolls Royce showroom with 50 pounds is not rich), the financial collapse in the richer parts of the world have in fact done more to reduce comparative poverty than a million awareness wristbands ever could.

I'm not a prayin' man, but the night I found out my at-the-time-fiancé had been sending sex horny nasty horny sex asks to my friend on THIS VERY WEBSITE, I sat in the car in the parking lot of an abandoned church and watched a family of deer play in the snow, and it didn't quite feel like a sign because that part of Pennsylvania was mostly deer and abandoned buildings and snow, but it felt nice, and once the tears stopped, I looked down at my phone and my other friend had sent me a text that said, "HE'S TRYING TO CHEAT ON YOU ON THE ONE DIRECTION IMAGINES WEBSITE?" and I realized that life is all about your curated experience. A real choose-your-own-adventure deal. I have never seen someone post about One Direction on here in my life.

I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.

"Many people, meeting Aziraphale for the first time, formed three impressions: that he was English, that he was intelligent, and that he was gayer than a treeful of monkeys on nitrous oxide."

Aziraphale is older than modern gay culture. it has to be at least considered that he alone was the inspiration for everything camp
