Children are the most inherently vulnerable group on earth and taking umbrage with the presence of babies/children in public spaces (like airplanes or restaurants) is antisocial.

End of the World
a poem by Paul Moffett

We have all always lived in the end times
all that has ever been behind us
before us nothing we can see
how strange to remember
that we all walk blind
with so much confidence
and nothing guiding us but faulty memory
how strange to remember
how strange

Apple with a rotten inside

Apple with a rotten inside

This apple looked at felt so normal and crunchy on the outside and then was absolutely rotten.

So horrible that it feels like a metaphor.

Can’t believe we’re gonna live through that moment in the V for Vendetta movie where Stephen Fry gets executed for doing a really bad Benny Hill sketch

Half the pic is Kpop demon hunters, the other half is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Both are the main love interest dying.

Raise your hand if you had no idea there was an abortion in Dirty Dancing. (because you watched it at 7)

I don’t use AI because I’m infuriated for the artists and writers and philosophers who’ve had their intellectual property stolen.

I also hate boring and impersonal shit. If someone can’t be bothered to write something, why should I be bothered to read it?

If there was a fiction where a king was so despirate for a son that he changes the religion of his kingdom only to have his rejected daughter reign for 45 years, people would call it woke.

The further back in Royal History you go, the more amazing nonsense you find.
Merovech, 5th century King, was born 9 months after his mother swam with a sea serpent.

Maybe his father was the serpant, maybe his father was his human dad, who can say?
