guardian angels are born from tragedy.
This was inspired by a dream I had where a school had been cursed and was haunted by dangerous entities (and subsequently abandoned).
Would-be urban explorers were warded off by the spirit in the pool. Ignoring her warning and passing by her marked a point of no return
She was a former student killed in the aftermath of the curse, hence the title 🖤
Every time I advocate for voting people are like "no you shouldn't vote! Read this literature, it'll totally change the way you view voting!" And every single time it's the same fucking "you shouldn't vote because both parties are exactly the same so it won't make a difference who wins" bullshit wrapped up in some fancy language
"OP you need to read 'Voting is not Harm Reduction" OP has read Voting is not Harm Reduction. It opens with the acknowledgement that for the most vulnerable people, even a tiny degree of harm reduction can mean life or death and then continues to advocate for not participating in that harm reduction lest you "participate in your own oppression". Pardon me for not finding "vulnerable people should die for my ideology" very convincing.
IM GOING TO STAB MYSELF IN THE FOOT I JUST SENT MY ENGLISH TEACHER MY ESSAY ON HAMLET AND IT WAS STILL NAMED “the fresh prince of denmark yo holla”
oh man, i love receiving unedited final drafts:
cracks me up every time
In undergrad I submitted an English essay with an in text citation of [remember to cite the shit here]. The prof left a very plain and direct comment of “you forgot to cite the shit here”. I think I died inside.
(especially funny because Galileo died in 1642. Newton WAS born the same year though!)
It is true that the graph showing declining profits does look bad from a certain point of view, but I would like to remind the shareholders that, from another point of view, it looks like a lovely inkbrush sketch of a tranquil mountain range.

Imagine a bee rn in a hive muttering "the beekeeper is not real because he is not intervening or helping me at all with this disastrous relationship I have with another bee". now imagine that's you talking about the good lord. now imagine a dog with a propeller hat on
Filing this in my memory right next to this thread:
A snake story, based on an experience I had while I was in Florida.
This is.....niche. Do period-appropriate chickens even still exist? Idk anything about chickens. I like the fancy ones.
Oh, I was just reading about that last night! One resource you can check is the American Poultry Association- it has records of the history of breeds, and especially when those breeds were officially admitted to/recognized by the APA. For instance, the Barred Rock is a breed that was officially recognized in 1874, having been bred from the Dominique, a much older heritage breed.
Reminds me a bit of this
You never know what's going to break people's immersion, depending on their knowledge and expertise and hyperfixations.
Ok this is kinda funny but imagine being surrounded by people who sound like this. The French language was a mistake in the first place but combining it with English…. abomination

I'm not a big honker, in general. Maybe you know someone who is. Might even be you, and that's okay. I don't judge people who do honk a lot. I assume that they live in crowded places, and they need to safely get the attention of other road users by repeatedly making a jarring noise.
Where I was raised, we were taught not to call attention to ourselves. Don't make a fuss. Suffer in silence. Wait through an extra light cycle because that guy in front of you's text message seems really important. Just being polite. It has nothing at all to do with the fact that I'm not sure if my fifty-plus-year-old horn even works, and if it will burn down my car trying to work.
My cousin, though, comes from the other side of the country. There, it's way more appropriate to honk. She's very forward in general, so it almost feels like a natural extension of her personality. If you're slow pulling out of a parking spot, she will honk your ass. Cop didn't move as soon as the light turned green? Honk honk, honkity-honk. It's embarrassing, and whenever I drive with her I have to slink in the passenger seat.
Things got so bad, that a few weeks ago that I actually fixed my car pre-emptively, so there wasn't a risk I would get to her place and then have to have her drive me in a car that "runs." That didn't work so well. Turns out that all that wiring I did over last summer to get the car to start faster also improved the performance of the horn assembly. She got impatient and leaned over to hit my horn for me, and that's why City Hall is no longer standing, Your Worship. Not my fault at all. I'm not a big honker in general.
