There is no sense that there is a difference of kind between a harsh word and a saw to the limbs; in the sermon, these are only differences of degree. The response to all insult, to all violence, is sympathy for the devil that does it to you. Whether you are struck with hand or stone or club or knife, or carved up with a saw, you must not hate.

But what about the hand that strikes? What about the hands that hold the stone or the club or the knife? What of the hands upon hands needed for the saw? What of the state and the death politics? What of the hierarchies of power that organize and direct this violence? What about the givers of orders, the payers of bills? Is this not an engine of hate, deriving from hate, designed with hate, operating on ancient principles of hate?

The simile is told with a purpose. It teaches the hated to hold still. To not buck under the saw’s teeth.

nothing quite prepares you for the gravity of sitting in the only bedroom that you’ve ever known four days before you move halfway across the world. desperately needing to spread your wings, but selfishly, childishly never wanting to leave your mother’s side.

knowing you only have four sleeps left still living in this house that your father lived in as a kid. trying to commit this view to memory

me seeing this book cover: ah, clearly this memoir is about a lesbian's journey to identifying as a Stone Butch ! this I am interpreting from the context clues of the title and the carabiner on the cover, a lesbian dogwhistle ! what an interesting read this will be !

what this book is about: rock climbing

If you think this post is misandrist then can you get out of your little tumblr bubble where misogyny isn't real and instead look at some fucking headlines? 💀 stop telling me we should be killing women instead when violent hate crimes against women are already on the rise. either watch Adolescence or look in an instagram reels comment section on a video abt basic feminism idk what to tell you

LOVE THIS COMIC!!

thinking abt yunuen and how he survived darkwood until Mother found him

he became a wanted cat bc he kept getting caught but kept escaping being sacrifice through brute force(he can be a lil cunning too!)

leshy cant keep his mouth shut and just had to say something to yunuen who was just ready to accept that this guy was just there now, but gotta give em a reason to mind his manners i guess!!!

definitely made it easier for Mother to keep leshy in check while he got used to mortal life :)

it came to my realization that 99% of my fandom related headaches would be cured if everyone understood this

people might think creating OC lore involves a lot of thinking & planning, but in my personal experience, OC development is more like a divine vision from a god slamming you over the head with a mallet while ur doing the fuckin dishes or folding laundry

my favorite genre of fictional character is like "i am terrifying to almost everyone, i'm very good at killing, i can endure anything, i've become exceptionally good at playing into my reputation, and if you try to give me positive social interaction i will react with confusion and cower in a corner like an abused animal. and i may try to shoot you. but there is also a chance i may imprint on you like a feral dog receiving its first loving touch! good luck."

when I was a little kid at some point I got upset with my parents because I didn't have a crucifix in my bedroom and they did- I was like why do YOU get to be safe from vampires??? you're okay with me getting my blood sucked???? so we took a little trip to the catholic store but the one closest to us was run by a group of nuns that had been moved here from romania. I got a little baby pink cross and this sweet old nun was like 'aww, is this a baptism gift?' and I was like no. I need to be protected from vampires. and she immediately got SO serious and was like 'this is the best one we've got, you'll definitely be safe' and since she was literally from vampire land I was convinced she was like, van helsing. like the whole time my parents had been laughing about how cute my fear was but she literally Knew dracula and was taking my concerns seriously I held this over my parents for so long lmfao
