The creating is the fun part.

The journey is the point of all this!

I'm cis male and turns out I felt exactly like this throughout my 20s and 30s. I mean my 40s so far too but the threat level is getting lower.

Hi brain, you obstinate fucker. I drank the clear splashy stuff. I ate the green things. I went under that bright fucker up there. I did the thing with the moving and sweating and whatnot. Now make the happy chemical, you lump of fuck.

20 years ago we were becoming best friends working back to back in a tiny blue REMAX marketing office.

16 years ago we were officially dating.

13 years ago we were shopping for our first home together.

10 years ago we said, "I do" because we knew it was forever.

In the decades we've spent side-by-side, we've traveled the world (10 countries & 20 states), lived in 3 states and Croatia. Right now we're preparing to move into our 3rd home purchased together – the second we renovated ourselves.

We've been through so many ups and downs supporting and celebrating each other. I'm so lucky @unseenhex my partner. Life is a challenge for everyone, but @unseenhex by my side feels like a cheat code.

My absolute favorite. ♥️

Is he relying on his essential goodness as a human being to get him through this cultural moment?

“No. Tell me something to worry me. Worry me.”

I mention how far a star can fall. Louis CK, for instance, who went from most popular comedian in America to pariah, almost overnight.

“The thing about this is… here’s the thing, right? Just go with me. Let’s say we’re talking about champion knitters, and you know, for the knitter, it’s the world knitting finals coming up. Now, he hasn’t dropped a stitch. And then, all of a sudden, he takes his d--- out in front of the other knitters, you know.”

The slightest of pauses.

“How do you think that’s gonna play out for his career?”

Anthropologists observe societies, writing about them dispassionately and adopting a non-interference, non-judgement policy. At some point a group of academics decided they wanted to include moral discussions (particularly about their own society), on how things come to be a certain way, and how they could develop differently. Thus Sociology was born. Anthropology still exists, Sociology eclipsed it, it didn't kill it. They're aspects of each other, not in competition. This is the censorship debate in a nutshell. A community picks a side, and the other side is free to branch off. The choices here are: Comics can be anything, even 3D printed gun files, or porn! No limits! We're all here to just observe. Or; we need to advocate some limits, some values. Some values are better for the world, and some are worse. I believe the no-limits crowd have the less considered standpoint. No group is free from having standards and values. We already moderate, it's the nature of social groups with implicit rules and *ideals*. In my opinion, we're here to do more than just observe the chaos. We adopt a stance. Improving the world as best we can. So we must decide what improves it, and what doesn't. I don't think totally uncensored free speech improves the world. It still imposes a set of values that impact the world - even if advocates pretend that no choice has been made.

This author is still alive and using every dollar you give them to actively harm people.

By all means, continue to enjoy those DVDs you already own. Those dollars are spent and gone. Nothing you can do about those.

But every new dollar you give them is actively harming people.

You are actively harming people.

I'm sorry this truth is uncomfortable.

You should be starting a recipe book. I don't give a shit if you're only 20-years-old. The modern web is rotting away bit by bit before our very eyes. You have no idea when that indie mom blog is going down or when Pinterest will remove that recipe. Copy it down in a notebook, physically or digitally. Save it somewhere only you can remove it. Trust me, looking for a recipe only to find out it's been wiped off the internet is so fucking sad. I've learned my lesson one too many times.

[unseenhex]

yes yes yes.

and I will add, share them with your friends/people who share your tastes. get them to share back and find out what you've been missing.

[unseenhex]

both it is

My good friend Stephen was laid off last year, right after his wife had surgery. They are struggling and need help. I know it's hard for everyone right now, but Stephen is a helper and he needs help.
