i feel like if you go to a cocktail bar (when one could do such things) and order a cocktail based solely on what has the coolest name (not that i would ever do that...), 99% of the time it’s gonna contain absinthe bc absinthe drinks have the most metal names ever. also absinthe is good so it’s fine

Oh dearly departed friend, you who stayed by my side even when I did not deserve your company, you who thrived in the face of utter destruction by the hands of those who would neglect and harm you. The sickness has come for you, now only rot and decay await you, but go in peace, you’ve lived well and traveled the narrow passage of time to this very moment where you have said, “no more shall my journey linger on, no more shall I push on in this wretched forsaken world, though I pray to thee, be not dismayed, I have come and done all that I’ve wished to do, I shall pass in peace and allow the next generation to take up my mantle”

Fuckin root rot got my goddamn rubber tree…

Christopher Hitchens died

I am half-tempted to troll my mom by emailing her, "I'm sorry for your loss." She's a huge fan of him -- not really what he argued for so much as how eloquent he was.

He always struck me as kind of arrogant, and I really hated his essay about how women aren't as funny as men (don't even get me started on that), but I appreciated that he was willing to defend atheism in a logical, consistent matter. I don't identify as an atheist, but it drives me up a wall when people who are religious somehow try to "prove" their faith, and I loved that Hitchens would tear apart their arguments every single time flawlessly.

(Also, it is super dumb to smoke, especially when your dad died of esophageal cancer, but whatever. Nicotine is a hell of a drug.)
