“Ghosts are real” I can see how you could believe that

“Ghosts aren’t real” it’s very fair and rational that you believe that

“Ghosts aren’t real anymore” I’m about to hear a poem or very sad story

“Ghosts aren’t real yet” the fuck are you going to do

This is one of my husband’s favorite short stories. He quotes it from memory. I’m pretty sure he can recite the entire thing from memory.

[elodieunderglass]

This is a tremendously impactful short story and every time I see it, it serves as an excellent reboot button for my state of mind.

Absolutely cackling over the banjo subreddit

[clowndykeonabarbiebike]

The fact I had no fucking clue which euphemisms were about sex and which ones were about playing banjo

I need a polite and effective way to say "hey your heart is truly in the right place and your anger is often righteous but I think sometimes you’re getting recreationally mad about things that are frankly not worth the amount of energy you’re spending on them, and every time you do this you're driving yourself slightly more insane with nothing to show for it," and then I need a way to broadcast that message through a loudspeaker to roughly 30,000 people at once, and THEN I need a time machine to send that message to my past self lol. and maybe a second time machine in case past me tries to be clever and sabotage the version of me who comes through the first time machine

Trans people just existing is no more sexual than when cis people just exist.

Having someone ask ChatGPT in a meeting is like being a grown-ass professional adult in a room full of other grown-ass professional adults trying to solve a problem, while a colleague with one of those baby toys that makes animal sounds repeatedly presses the cow button. And we all have to stop what we're doing and listen to cow go moo and say "wow hm yeah that's not really what we're asking but the cow does definitely go moo, good thoughts"

What's a side quest that was better than the main story?

The one where Clairemonde, Keres, Lyra, and Peace travel to find a stranded voyager only to discover the true horror of the ancient beasts of creation that came before the Gods. They never died, they were just biding there time until a useful mortal would come along and help them achieve a new era.

Oh we've had Ugly Laws a long time. Until 1975 it was basically illegal for visibly disabled people to be outside. That's why freakshows exist at all, because we weren't allowed outside unless we were "part of an educational exhibit" so... we couldn't work, couldn't make our own money. While Freakshows were not universally empowering, it's important to remember that there were no alternatives. And Loitering laws and the rank and universal ableism of hiring managers is making that even more violently a thing. People in power do not want disabled people to live. Eugenics is baked into MOST modern cultures and governments, not just America. "you can live here as long as you can contribute to the economy" "you have to be able to lift 40lbs to work here" "this job requires lots of moving and lifting" (on jobs that absolutely do not, like office work) these are all ways disabled people are discriminated against without the ADA 1990 being able to act.

Loitering laws are just part of this legacy of discrimination, hostile architecture, and eugenics.

laughing about the idea of rose giving shane a weighted blanket as a gift and it soon becoming ilya's Number One Enemy in their house

at first it was just because it was a gift from rose, but now??? shane is cuddling up under The Mistress? ("ilya, it is a fucking blanket-") shane does not need to ask ilya to lay on top of him because he would rather be beneath The Mistress? ("ilya, for FUCK'S sake, you weren't even home-") maybe shane doesn't even need him anymore. maybe The Mistress can learn to suck his co- ("i'm going to bed. you can join me or you can keep glaring at a FUCKING BLANKET")

I only hate certain types of fic the same way I hate mosquitos and ticks. Like get these nasty little buggers away from me but also I respect their place in the ecosystem.

[sandersstudies]

Me, spraying bug spray: blocked.

[sandersstudies]

Listen and sometimes? To enjoy running through a beautiful field of grass and flowers (ao3) you have to tolerate the fact that bugs (fics you don’t like) are there and maybe you will even encounter one, but you can use bugspray (filtered tags) to reduce the likelihood of that. Because the alternative is not getting to experience the beautiful field of grass and flowers.

And some of my mutuals happen to be entomologists. Which is also cool.

my cat is always so very definitely calm when he sees his cat carrier and is suuuuper chill about going to the vets

Me, tears streaming down my face, sobbing, as I stare at the stars: it’s just so beautiful

The medieval peasant I went back in time to give a bag of Doritos to, concerned: what terrible and powerful sorcerers they must have in your age, to be able to veil the vault of heaven itself from view, as you say

Me, sniffling: I didn’t realize, I can’t, it’s so much, I, I… are the chips good, at least?

Medieval peasant, trying to make me feel better: they’re… magical, strange traveler
