MISSION: Be Normal About That Thing

all those analyses people make about Harry’s Electrochemistry being more than just wanting drugs and in fact being one of Harry’s most important skills for staying alive are coming to mind as I’m reading this old treatise on anarchist morality by Kropotkin
“One man gets drunk, and every day lowers himself to the condition of a brute because he seeks in liquor the nervous excitement that he cannot obtain from his own nervous system.”
“When a woman […] takes off her own scanty rags to cover another woman who is cold, while she herself shivers on the deck of a vessel, she does so because she would suffer infinitely more in seeing […] a woman starved with cold, than in shivering […] She escapes a pain of which only those who have felt it know the intensity.”
the pursuit of pleasure takes more forms than just wanting food, it is in fact the impetus for being alive
even the insects, he says! eat a leaf yum yum etc. and remember Electrochemistry is the check to pass to be able to interact with the phasmid…
he’s actually still talking about ants and what good communists they are. he would have loved the insulindian phasmid

Since July is Disability Pride Month
(as opposed to every other month when we're all demure about disability rights /gentle sarcasm)
I wanted to highlight one of my favorite artists: Liberal Jane.
it's rotten work. especially to me especially if it's you. I'll fucking do it but christ alive.
people who market tumblr as a “fandom website” are missing the fact that the fandom tags are essentially unusable because you cannot venture into them without seeing a take so bad you want to throw up
i've just had the realization that i'm uniquely positioned to slap every german stereotype known to man onto ulixes, and i have been way way way too soft on him. let's start: i think ulixes wears socks and sandals in the summertime
we all want to be as un-german as possible, especially in the company of non-german friends, but alas. he and his socks and sandals will have to deal, like everybody else
May I offer another one: He doesn't think that collecting water bottles to get money in return is good and viable praxis in any way and he writes essays about how hdb having to resort to that shows that it is just a band aid put on a malfunctioning system.
But it's also in my boys' genes to not throw away a water bottle to get that pfand. He begrudgingly collects all the bottles the others leave around and puts all that sweet sweet fritte pfandgeld in the book club jar where they collect money to buy pizza.
finding out i’m blocked by someone is like … damn what could i possibly have done other than be extremely annoying…..
being a fan of a character is sometimes “look at how complex he is. he’s so intricate and his story is so tragic and he’s so much more complicated than people give him credit for” and sometimes it’s like “haha look at this failure of a person. I wanna throw him off a cliff and see what happens”
