Man just hearing the music from the end of Cloud Atlas almost makes me burst into tears

Yeah that one hit hard

I hadn't really understood that anyone could care what I thought or said -- that I was even capable of hurting other people

No culture here other than the vague corporatized paste of white hegemony

Did the pup thing at Doré Alley last weekend and the more I was there, the more I wanted the hood on the whole time--it just made it so much easier to deal with the crowds and the noise and direct my attention. I felt... safer? somehow?

And that made it easier to choose how I was gonna be

Am I a pup? ...yeah, maybe I'm a pup

I once read a comment saying something like "if you choose not to laugh at farts, your life will contain less laughter but still the same amount of farts". I think about that a lot.

Hello. I am an expendable character in an action film. If you shoot me with a regular gun I will scream in pain before I die. But if you shoot me with a silencer I will - obligingly - just let out a quiet gasp.

I've considered it, but I feel a bit guilty asking for cash for my own actions when others are trying to help sick relatives or make rent, etc
