tbh a lot of my advice boils down to “hey you know that terrible horrible looming thing you’re doing your best to avoid and distract and escape as much as possible but no matter what you do it just keeps looming and looming and ruining your life”

“just, fuckign, run straight at it screaming.”

“You took an oath to uphold the law and defend the citizens without fear or favor," said Vimes. "And to protect the innocent. That's all they put in. Maybe they thought those were the important things. Nothing in there about orders, even from me. You're an officer of the law, not a soldier of the government.” -- Night Watch, by Terry Pratchett

As a kid, I was really upset that Bill Watterson wouldn't license Calvin & Hobbes so I could have plushies or so there would be a Saturday morning cartoon. Now, I realize his resistance is the reason we don't have a Calvin & Hobbes DreamWorks movie starring Chris Pratt.

Always embarrassing realizing you don't know basic facts about your friends. Like yeah hey, here's this person I love dearly, I've known them for 23 years, we've been through so much together. They're currently working in a lab.... developing... medicine? and also getting a PhD. I think. Don't ask me what subject.

I once met up with an online friend in person, and after the meeting my mother was asking all sorts of questions about their life (in a friendly way, not in a paranoid-about-this-stranger-my-child-met-on-the-internet way. I was at this point an adult with a a child of my own.)

Eventually, when I was able to satisfactorily answer almost none of them, my mother asked in exasperation, "What did you just spend two hours talking about?"

And I was like, "....books?"

a friend of mine got kicked out of her home during the pandemic, so i offered her our spare room. it was only on the day she moved in that one of my flatnates asked what her name was and i had to admit that i had no idea
