Earlier today I was on the phone with my mom and they’re staying at my uncle’s place (~6h from where we live) this weekend so I asked her if she saw a single kid’s shoe at the rest stop on the drive down. Because almost every time we do that drive we stop at that rest stop and there’s usually a single kid’s shoe lying on the ground, which we find very funny. And she was like “no, I didn’t see a shoe, but I did see a smashed dead rat!” And something about that phrasing has me like crying laughing to myself hours later imagining some alternate reality where it’s like a known popular riddle

Q: What’s better than a single kid’s shoe?

A: A smashed dead rat!

Nobody gets tongue in cheek anymore. They either ask chatgpt to explain what a "bit" is or they tell you get a fourth therapist.

a child who is persistently alone & does not want to be alone does not learn that they on occasion have time to themselves during which they can do whatever they want, they learn that occasionally they will have time to themselves throughout which they will do nothing except exactly what they do not want to do - something that is synonymous with that duration of time. if they were being made to do some or other unpleasant thing, like hold their hand on a hot stove, that would not be synonymous with the duration of time, it would be something occupying that duration of time. when they are made ito be alone, the fact that they are alive & conscious is felt as a profound lack rather than the fundamental opportunity atop which all other opportunities are built, & the passage of time becomes something to be endured because it continually implies their continued existence & awareness. life for them then becomes organized not around exploration nor seeking enjoyment or fulfillment, but around strategies for continually enduring the fact that they exist

Has anyone written a queer romantasy retelling/homage of a classic piece of literature yet? You could advertise it on tumblr with a pull quote that remixes the most quotable line from the original work into something unbearably dumb. I don’t know why no one’s tried this, seems like free money.
