When Maggie Stiefvater said 'loss is a universal art form' and when shakespeare said 'grief fills up the room of my absent child' and when Richard Siken said 'a man takes his sadness and throws it away but then he's still left with his hands' but when Shakespeare also said 'Love-devouring death do what he may; it is enough that I may call her mine'. Love and art and loss are inextricable actually. I am going. Insane.

“A man takes his sadness down to the river and throws it in the river but then he’s still left with the river. A man takes his sadness and throws it away but then he’s still left with his hands.”

"A man takes his sadness down to the river and throws it in the river / but then he’s still left / with the river. A man takes his sadness and throws it away / but then he’s still left with his hands."

I can't even imagine what the boot saga has done to your psyche. I'd be shocked if you can even look at boots without thinking of Connie or a creature just going to town on them irl.

I wear boots.. everyday. imagine what this has done to me,

I don't think a lot of people fully appreciate how prohibitively expensive it is to NOT have a fully functional car in most of the US. I just had to buy a whole-ass printer, ink, and paper for the two times I anticipate needing to print thing in the near future because after running the numbers, it was cheaper to do that than spend the Uber fare to go somewhere to get my items printed since there's nowhere walkable from where I live (and then pay to get them printed). Ideally, I'll get more than two uses out of the thing, but even if it's just the two it'll still be a savings and that sucks.

The Nocturne discord I’m in pointed out how tall Alucard appears now so I rounded up screenshots of different vampires next to humans to show just how freakishly tall they are in comparison

I bought some work boots that I wear basically everyday. They have lasted me at least 3 years still going strong. They even still look good because I occasionally treat the leather

You want leather boots. Given the harm microplastics do and the longevity of real leather even if your vegan you should consider getting good thick leather products

This makes me so sad and also I'm trying to remember if any of the Discworld books dealt with late stage capitalism

“A man walks into a convenience store, still you, saying: I only wanted something simple, something generic... But the clerk tells you to buy something and get out.”
