one of the most important things, perhaps the most important thing I have learned in my life is that nice people can fuck each other up in monstrous ways. people can be bone deep kind and loving and self reflective and still lash out under pressure. people can be earnestly neighbourly and charitable and hospitable and generous and still find themselves in situations where they become selfish. people can be well meaning and easygoing and gregarious and hold deep seated opinions that turn them into vicious little bullies under the right conditions. nobody is just one thing, and nobody stays one way. every person is a kaleidoscope and they will surprise you. you will surprise yourself. it's not a warning and it's not a judgement and it's not an excuse, and it's certainly not a reason to stop trying or to stop trusting. it is just a fact.

Can't believe I need to say this but the term 'mud-worshipper' is a slur and can only be reclaimed by followers of The Trawlerman. If you want to be colloquial you can say 'river folk'.

I, too, would follow this kid all the way to my untimely and gruesome death

The sick reality is that many of the renowned academics and writers among Gaza's thousands of martyrs will, in twenty years time, be quoted and memorialised by the same universities and institutions that have denigrated them and enabled their slaughter.

Nothing gives the same kind of random ego boost like managing to finally clean up your home and making it nice. Like ooh look at me, I'm living like people do, I made myself iced tea and I am eating my snack from a real plate. I got floors and shit.

[id: the too crazyyy meme, three screenshots of jenny slate, edited to say “i had to stop listening to the silt verses because it made me too crazyyy. It would just be like hey charity! tell me more about your god, i want to know whose house i’ve wrecked and i was like *screams*.]

[wordto-thewise]

did charity effectively utilize girlpower when she lured gareth to the house in the woods, causing him to lose his sanity, his humanity, and his life?

Just realized the iconique "Carpenter! You're going to suffer! You hear me? You're going to suffer!" "Hey Charity, tell me more about your god - I want to know whose house I've wrecked" dialogue functions as a Bechdel test speedrun

[wordto-thewise]
