gnocchi dokey

goddamn i could have written this exact comment

i've forgotten most of it (except ozma of oz, which i reread periodically) but i remember a lot of wtf. the hungry tiger was my fave tho

i remember them being pretty trippy

but the hungry tiger is my all-time fave. what a king

Digging in the muck of refuse soiled, malodorous, infected, ill-kempt the rat gnaws/scurries/twitches/runs worrying nourishment from garbage scraps. It cannot prioritize our disgust. It lives in grime, in hardship, hunger. Hatred is suffered uncomprehending. Cruelty is strange, sad, inevitable. It is in the deepest caverns of man's filth that this creature spends its life, eating and shitting innocent forgiveness as in a sunlit forest or field.

forgive me if i have posted this before. i don't think i have

...And I was going to write a poem
about how fire is the only thing
that can make a person jump out a window.

But depression, too, is a kind of fire.
And I know nothing of either.

rest of work:

...they may not mean to but they do
they fill you with the faults they had
and add some new ones just for you

yes yes yes absolutely 100000%

Do not stand By my grave, and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep— I am the thousand winds that blow I am the diamond glints in snow I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle, autumn rain. As you awake with morning's hush, I am the swift, up-flinging rush Of quiet birds in circling flight, I am the day transcending night. Do not stand By my grave, and cry— I am not there, I did not die.

eh what the heck, here's the rest

reminds me of one of my favorites as well (immortality, by clare harner):

do not stand at my grave and weep
i am not there -- i do not sleep

augh eliotttt

"this is the way the world ends
not with a bang, but a whimper"

ugh, so many. some are even mine

i recently reread song of myself though and that's gotta be an all-timer

i speak the password primeval
i give the sign of democracy
by god! i shall accept nothing which all cannot have their counterpart of on the same terms

i can't even remember where i first heard that joke. "they go where no one has ever gone before... and there are people there! every time! you ever notice that?"

my impression is there were plenty of alien races warping through space before humans but as soon as we got there we were like OMG GUYS LET'S START A CLUB I'LL BE PRESIDENT and the vulcans and andorrians were like eh, fine

anyway i agree it's anthropocentric, but imo naively so

i always assumed it was called "human rights" in english. but like, the klingon translation would be "klingon rights". i definitely agree it should just be "the rights of all sapient species"

but they're the federation, not humanity. it should be "where no member of a federation race has gone before" but that sounds terrible unfortunately

one of my cats was having litterbox issues back when rick & morty was huge. i rememebr my roommate saying "hey just so you know sammy got shwifty in the kitchen"

just took the SAT (for work, with coworkers) on 4 hours' sleep and 10,000% more caffeine than my body is used to. yeehaw! soh cah toa motherfuckers!

what constitutes drag for a nonbinary person?

are those FRIED SAGE LEAVES hot damn

they should be named and shamed. any doctor who says shit like this is neglecting patients, no question.

killing the story is the only ethical course of action. if they want to write a story about this stuff, they can collect actual data first

EXACTLY

these are unusable data

who do these doctors think they are, my parents?

cordy is the goddamned QUEEN and charisma slayed that role... um, pun not intended

that's the tragedy for me honestly. when d&d had good source material, they were able to make the changes needed for a successful book-to-screen adaptation -- some of the changes were even improvements! a reminder that it's always easier to improve something than to create something :/

😭😭😭

that's wild!

one time in grad school i almost got clipped by a jerk who didn't check the crosswalk before turning left. came close enough to knock my books out of my hands!

now that's a job well done ❤️

god i would love to run a cat "retirement home", old cats are so sweet

i think it was the daily show, or maybe the late show, that interviewed pro-lgbt protesters in russia a few years ago. one older woman they spoke to quoted this (from angel the series)

and it was like... oh right. art is really important
