A Light in The Lamphouse

Hello, it's me, Lampo. I'm here for biology, illustrations, sensible chuckles, and the very occasional nostalgic bit of anime. I cannot proofread so if mangled English offends you, you offend me.

"Just because I'm right, doesn't mean I'm being helpful" is a vastly underrated thought process that I strongly encourage others to get comfortable with

Every time I type "liek" instead of "like" I can feel the specter of mid-2000s memes passing through me like someone walking over my grave.

I sometimes think about the letter KA Applegate posted for her fans who were disappointed by the ending of her series, and while I understand simply not liking how a story ends, I really respect her reasoning.

Like you can dislike the ending, that's fine.

But her reasoning is very interesting to read. And I really enjoy the framing of the anti war message.

[zarohk]

You don't like that one war simply led to another? Fine. Pretty soon you'll all be of voting age, and of draft age. So when someone proposes a war, remember that even the most necessary wars, even the rare wars where the lines of good and evil are clear and clean, end with a lot of people dead, a lot of people crippled, and a lot of orphans, widows and grieving parents.

K. A. Applegate, May 2001, 6 months before the start of the US-Afghanistan War.
