Tell a human to speak a wish to the air, and how often they will tell you what they *want* instead. “Want” is a self defense mechanism adapted by a calcified human ego to preserve its present state; deployed against the *wish* that expands the soul past the conditions of humanity.
This is true. And I don't mean it metaphorically or rhetorically or poetically or theoretically or in any other fancy way. Straight up.
Those who know it to be so, leave your name in the guest book.

Feeling awkward at the mage convention because my grimoire is a trapper keeper
feeling awkward at the mage convention because I'm a werewolf and you can't stack templates
feeling awkward at the mage convention because all these witches have retinues of dolls that seem to have complex sexual relationships and elaborate maidservant heirarchies and im over here with my little chitinous homunculi chittering away quietly, all hidden in my robes like small courtly dogs

And yet for all their obsession, not one journalist has ever come out here to rural Alabama and asked me (or any of the folks in the rural Black counties) about our helplessness at being controlled by the psychopathic white supremacist cult that has Alabama in a political death grip.
I feel pretty misunderstood by people living in rural areas, and yet mysteriously, this isn’t considered a problem.
I’m sick of putting up with this idiotic display of obeisance to chucklefucks simply because they live in rural areas.

Republicans control all 3 branches of government. Even when they don't, both parties pump out constant rhetoric about "real Americans" living in rural areas.
The entire premise of this article is a conservative-fluffing myth. Cities have more political power because that's where most people live!

I know the conversation is for another time but When this is all over, and I say When and not If because it will end someday and we will win, we cannot go back to the neoliberal capitalism that explicitly caused this. That's going to upset some centrists and I want them to know this: I don't care.

The gofundme for that factory worker who called Trump a pedophile protector is at like $300k. Funniest possible outcome of this is everyone rushing to do the same thing in the hopes of getting paid

he took pascal's wager in the end, did scott adams - not from the fear of hell, but for the fear that when gabriel's trumpet sounded, the fictional character would rise up and answer and scott adams's bones would go moldy alone in the earth

I loved dilbert when I was 12. It was a glimpse into the world my dad inhabited. He wasn’t home a lot, but he liked dilbert (he was a software engineer) and I think reading it helped me feel closer to him.
It also kind of explained why he was such a fucking asshole.

rather than talk about Scott Adams I want to talk about something weirder (me). Who else was really into Dilbert when you were 12. Who else was like, boy, I can't wait to work a cubicle job

Crazy how this whole thing works more or less exactly how my local penny-ante swindlers figured it would. Tripp down at the Waffle House was talking about his plan to take these guys for a rifle and some armor, and I guess it works how he said.
A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"
