Woke up this morning feeling good feeling great and then my mom said the dog went absolutely ballistic at my car for some reason so I popped the hood going right what's all this then and saw a cowering possum under the engine

Successfully extracted it by starting my car and hitting the gas and honking the horn and pmuch making an enormous fucking ruckus to piss off the entire neighborhood until it scampered off into the distance, off to find better lands of Not My Car

i saw a really cool butterfly expert man on PBS and was so in awe of him and his butterfly knowledge i tracked down the episode online to see how to spell his name and found his twitter and followed him, only for the next day to awaken to him having read not only my webcomic, but also my livetweets saying how i wanted to marry the butterfly man. he said he was flattered. anyway the moral of the story is please don’t underestimate how far down your twitter a bored entomologist will scroll, and also the internet was a mistake.

Me, at drive thru: Can I get a... Number 7, with large fries, and a sprite? Thanks, I love you.

Drive thru: I love you too.

Me: Beautiful night, isn't it?

Drive thru: Yes, it is.

Me: And it'll be a beautifully day tomorrow?

Drive thru: It will be.

the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible

because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person 

from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating

it’s fucked up. 

What is the most important step a man can take?

The next.

I think part of the pushback about this is the idea that, to “redeem” bad people, their victims must first forgive them for unforgivable acts.

This is false. No one is obligated to forgive you. You can learn from your mistakes and become the best, kindest person on earth, and the people you’ve hurt still won’t forgive you, and you’ll have to accept that. And that doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to grow. Because we aren’t just “pure” or “sinful”, we’re complex.
