It’s crazy that you can be reading the Iliad and it’s all Eussorus and Teuthras and Axylus and so forth, and then there’s Jason

I don’t believe that it’s important to post well. I live my life in accordance with this belief

Laster kind of writes like a millennial. Not a knock, just a quirk

Kitty cat perched on barrels, wearing a sun hat and scarf. Text:
Good morning kitty cat.
You do not defy the sun to wear your sensational hat. You tell the sun, let me bask!
Let me linger! Let me soak up your company tor longer and longer.
And It the sun should take offense, we will pick up the earth and haul it into the fellowship of a new, appreciative star.

(or you don’t have to wear it idk)

Yard sale flyers have suffered a lot, for instance.

I’m aware of the risk that this is an esoterically reactionary position somehow, because of its nostalgia. But I don’t think it’s that important

I also feel this way about Canva and Squarespace. There used to be more fingerprints on things

Wash yourselves clean!
Put away your misdeeds from before my eyes;
cease doing evil; learn to do good.
Make justice your aim: redress the wronged
hear the orphan's plea, defend the widow.

Come now, let us set things right
says the LORD:
Though your sins be like scarlet
they may become white as snow

The theme for my Lent is, curiously, β€œwhat if you didn’t need to feel bad and shitty about every little failing all the time”

I recommend this theme if you are able to select it in the future

Do we have a Constitution anymore, or is it just optional? Because if it’s the second thing it opens up a lot of options about what to do with these guys
