anyone who reads an argument like "they wouldn't have killed all those civilians if X boogeyman enemy wasn't hiding behind them" and is convinced by that is a clown and deserves to be mocked.

i got a 69% on a paper that i thought deserved better. (69% is a fuck you grade; "this could've been a 70% but i'm making a point"). i asked the prof why, he said that my thesis & supporting evidence were both good but didn't match. sometimes a premise is faulty and no good writing will shore it up!

naked eye northern glow is my derby name

i would pay real dollars to see a Hannibal-style reimagining of that story

honestly, therapy might make them worse. "yeah, AWT (attic wife therapy) is highly recommended in psychiatric circles these days for teaching patients about the emotional labour of caregiving."

lol very true

it really changed how i view people saying things like "don't feed the trolls" because it doesn't actually matter. block em! tell em to go to hell! get back up from friends! do what makes you feel safer and better, because it genuinely doesn't make a difference to them.

when i was doing my research on toxic and disruptive behaviour in games' social spaces, one thing that really struck me was that people who act up feel like they've won whether they get a reaction or not. the person being harassed is immaterial to the satisfaction they get.

solo living is totally worth it in some ways! and then also in other ways, you realize you are responsible for every little thing and it's very exhausting

if anyone who loves me ever wanted to scare me to death, playing the starting notes of that song at a random point in the day would be the way to go
