well maybe you should blearily wake up at 5:08 in the pre-dawn light and find the sleeping soft tiny mammal body of your cat just inches from your head like a miracle too beautiful for speech, and you should rustle one hand out from your blankets to rub fingertip circles across the warm eggshell dome of her little velvet-wrapped skull and on the bristly patches just where the cups of her ears begin, and as she inclines her head into your fingers and purrs without ever opening her little eyes you should feel a love so tender that you understand how that love could have reached out from the fireside into the inky spangled nights long gone to reach her, and then you'll feel better

i will not start discourse with western folks about how communism is not a good alternative to capitalism i will not bow to the urge to tell them to realize that communism is a good idea but has never actually been functional, i will not remind them of the fact that never has anyone been capable of creating a functional communist society without first committing literal genocide or general mass bloodshed

i will not bow to the discourse of there is no good third option right now and you will have to come up with it yourself i will not start the debate because capitalism is shitty as hell as well and on its way out but i live in a family that has directly felt the effects of a shit communist regime

i will not ask western mutuals to read about the soviet union and the harm it did to the baltic countries i will not mention people getting deported in the hundreds of thousands in literal animal carts to literal fucking siberia to either work themselves to death or somehow try and live there with nearly nothing to live on in literal subhuman conditions

i will not start the discourse about communism and how that is not a functional system either because i cannot bear the "oh but we can make it work" of the folks calling themselves communists without being aware of the many failings of actual attempts at communism, for that is the mind killer

I saw this post on Facebook today, and was gonna make a joke about how he's so good in the lab because, when it comes to experiment samples, he knows you gotta keep 'em separated.

But I happened to search the lyric online really quick, and found this:

AMAZING. It's actually where the line came from! Bravo, sir.

Dexter Holland, the lead singer of the punk-rock band The Offspring, has a lot of different interests. One of them is biology.

So i jumped out of bed to go tell my wife this (bc she woke up, she has a tendency to wake up around 2 am bc we're different brands of weirdo) & she said, "Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. He also flies their tour plane a lot of the time bc he just really likes flying." Apparently, he holds CFI, CFII, & ATP certifications, so he's not just a pilot. He's rated as an instructor. And he owns a hot sauce brand, bc why not?
