btw since this I have been beautifully and painfully trying to learn to cook, crochet, sew, paint etc and oh boy am I mediocre at a bunch of things but I’m having fun

me: *covered in scratch marks* i am still a powerful and respectable wizard, you know

my imp krongus: *doubtfully* yes, my lord

me: i did eventually kill the mouse with a needle for a sword

krongus: it’s just that it was so close, my lord

"I'm sorry. I killed a spider.
I trapped him under a cup
And meant to slip some paper under
Take it outside and shake him off,
Free him.
But I forgot,
got distracted.
And when I saw the cup days later,
I realised what I had done.
I left it there for a month.
I didn't want to see him balled, warped little carcass,
The consequences of my distraction,
My lazinezz.
I don't kill bugs
it makes me feel guilty.
Just because I'm bigger doesn't mean I should get the final
Say, on a tiny life.
And when I forced myself to lift the cup after a month
I expected to see him curled, dead on the counter,
But there was nothing there.
So I turned it over;
And saw a ghostly silver web woven in the lip of the cup.
And the spider, resting, dead on top of it.
I sat and cried on the kitchen floor.
In his last moments,
He tried to make a home
Of the darkness I gave him.

if I kill my clone I won't be able to fuck them anymore

i have read about the iterated prisoners dillema, im not a dumbass, the moment i start planning to kill my clone then i know that she is therefore also planning to kill me, if i commit to never kill her then, if she is my clone, she will also be commited to not killing me

is tthe idea that the clone is at risk of killing you to take over your life? kinda confused why I'd even be thinking about murder in the first place

[ID: two replies by op that read, "the question isn't would you fuck your clone cmon these things don't have to be exclusive. do you trust yourself enough that you truly believe a clone of you wouldn't try to kill you first?" and (in all caps), "stop saying you'd fuck your clone that's not the question." End ID.]

my mom loves to lie and like she always swears she was NEVER homophobic or anything to me as a child “i even have a gay work friend” but a really funny memory resurfaced recently where i asked if i could use birthday money i had to buy a rainbow flag when i was like ??? 7?? because i LOVED rainbows. and she said no that means something Evil and god will hate you . so what did i do. but ask my grandmom for a rainbow sweater for christmas and proceed to only wear that sweater for three years when it got cold because i didnt like the idea that god hated colors and i wanted to challenge him

normal 7 year old with religious trauma: oh no god can hear my thoughts and punish me

me at 7: he would not fucking say that

Having spent the better part of three hours teaching teenage boys to knit and crochet, I will say that it was an unexpectedly pleasant experience. They took it very seriously and were very intent on getting it right, and were very pumped when I told them they were doing it right. A highlight of the night occurred when one guy moved on from crocheting with a hook to knitting with needles, and his friend (still crocheting) looked over in absolute astonishment and said “woah, when did you get two sticks?!”

it fucking sucks how you can do all the therapy and self healing in the world and you still have to wake up living under a capitalist death cult that's killed community and crushes your soul

congrats you want to live and be happy

bad news the world doesn't want that for you

I'll still love fully and crawl to hope until my body gives out anyway I guess

The worst thing in the entire world is when you’re sweeping a big pile of dirt into a dustpan and it leaves that little coke line of grit behind. No matter how you position your pan or your broom and no matter how many times you sweep over it your outcome cannot change. As immovable as fate. I hate it so

Get a wet paper towel and wipe up the last line of dust with it. No fate is so immovable that we cannot change it.

“No fate is so immovable that we cannot change it” is a raw and inspiring quote I did not expect from a post about a minor chore annoyance xD

It was the result of having multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching — "turn the other cheek" — [and] to have someone come up after to say, "Where did you get those liberal talking points?" And what was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, "I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ," the response would not be, "I apologize." The response would be, "Yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak." And when we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we're in a crisis.

re-emphasizing this important point
