“For us, everything was a performance.” A small, private smile catches me off guard and I glance down, hoping he won’t see it. “Everything poetic.”
in my experience it goes something like..
@just-things-i-thought-up as the person who’s usually asleep at like 12pm I’m sorry :p
thank you jerry's pizza for your service
I made this in hopes of a very boring and non-history making 2023:
I WILL BLOCK YOU ON SIGHT! I HAVE DIONYSOS ON SPEED DIAL AND HE’S READY TO DROWN YOUR CHARIOT RIDING ASS IN THE CHEAPEST WINE IN THE WORLD AND YOUR DEATH WILL BE AS TASTELESS AS IT IS STICKY! I SWEAR IF I EVEN SEE A DODGEBALL ATHENA WILL HAVE HER OWL EAT YOUR EYES OUT!
You can’t stop the rising sun :)
it’s been years since i’ve first seen this comic and i still think it has one of the best punchline delivers of anything i’ve ever seen
eternal classic

Some sketches from New Year’s Eve..
As Morta dances with Rue, hand in hand,
the red grasses of sensibility are torn short and knotted into crowns with silly little dandelions, plucked by fat baby fingers from nearby hillocks.
In the wideness of her dark green eye you are a bridge from one place to another over a busy river,
Paris on one side, pretty dainty Bern with cobblestone boys and scowling beasts on the far bank.
Standing in the center of the bridge, of you-
How silly this one is!-
I am distorted, you are introducing me to myself at a house party and I am wearing a blue sundress.
I think to myself, how did she become a poet. The arts do not suit one with so square a jaw. Becoming! Unmolding.
We number the stars in our youths. Really there are no more twinkling up there than can fit in a seven year old palm. The scientists clearly haven’t asked their daughters what they think.
There are as many stars as there are moments until you realize that her face has turned into one you love,
there are as many nebulas as times you swear you’ll tell the man at the counter that you like his eyes,
but not yet, not today.

we literally have just a few days to act. the senate is debating about putting KOSA, the Kids Online Safety Act, into the omnibus spending bill. if it is added, it WILL pass. despite the title and content of the bill seeming to be about protecting kids, we know everytime someone claims they are "saving the children" they have more sinister goals
which is why Senator Blumenthal is working with one of the biggest transphobes in the senate, Marsha Blackburn, to force this bill through, and claiming they are listening to LGBT voices when they are blatantly ignoring us.
essentially this bill gives every state attorney generals the power to remove anything they deem 'harmful' to kids online. you can see how a state like Texas or Florida would run with that, yes? it also forces you to upload your government ID online to access the internet. the bill will create a 'commission' led by handpicked members of the govt to oversee what is and isn't allowed online. it will lead to mass censorship of anything related to race or LGBT content. in a post-Roe world too? say goodbye to any abortion/sex-related info.
they are doing a shit ton of PR for this, including claiming they are listening to LGBT voices. i mean just look.
two weeks ago, 90+ human rights, LGBT, and tech orgs signed onto an open letter telling Senators NOT to pass this bill. in response, over 230 orgs led by the American Psychological Association signed a letter urging senators to. it's really fucking bad. like i can't sleep because of this. i didn't expect this to happen. we really really need people to speak up.
if this bill goes through it will literally kill off the internet as we know it
the best way to fight against this bill is to call these specific senators (if you have dem senators, call them too)
maria cantwell (202) 224-3441
chuck schumer (202) 224-6542
nancy pelosi (202) 225-4965
call script below:
Like dying.
I love you like writing words down fast as my thin wrist can get them out, like abandoning.
I love you like peeling the rest of the price tag off with my flimsy bitten fingernails.
Like chasing the wagon after you’ve stumbled off it.
I think I love you like the shuddering want that takes hold of me, waiting for the next heartbeat or the next crack of the drum.
Like hating till my eyes go red and my palms bleed.
I love you like the smell of a library and the taste of cheap vanilla coffee and a perfectly fuzzy photo.
I love you like watching the first traincar dash across the track from my cold car
I love you like covering my mouth to muffle the gasping scream that followed.
You are every squirming uncomfort that lurks behind my eye
and every tiny raging inconvenience.
Because I love you like dying and I love you like scribbled confessions on bus station walls and I love you like the end of a sunset and I love you like two orbiting stars that the telescopes of Galileo can’t see are separate beings yet but I cannot love you like i should.
and I’m sorry.

how would you feel if you woke up tomorrow and find out exactly 100 of the world’s richest people died of heart attacks at exactly noon universal time. can you imagine the theories. light is absolutely a loser for not doing this
[ID: Reply from elumind that says: “Do the richest one every week and see next in line lose their shit and try to get rid of the money. I think of this almost daily.” /end ID.]
The notes on this are wild because people are legit passionately arguing about why this wouldn’t work. No one said it would work. They said he’s a loser for not doing it.
There has to be a *pattern* to it, though, to really get their attention. Like it has to be the same time of day, the same day, each week.
The first one stands up and draws a massive A on the nearest wall before dropping dead.
Exactly one week later, Thursday at 3:13 PM, the next one looks up, blank-faced, and uses a car key to scratch the word ‘CAMEL’ into the side of their car. There are memes.
The week after that, in the middle of an interview, the third victim turns to the camera and says ‘THROUGH.’ He drops dead.
The man who writes “EYE” is in a private underground bunker. Enough radiation shielding to survive a direct nuclear strike. There are fifteen guards posted at the door- surveillance confirms not one of them left their post.
By the time “NEEDLE” is scratched into the upholstery of a private yacht, people are starting to give money away.
Like most of us I’ve thought extensively on this since I first saw Death Note and came to the conclusion that the most likely reaction would be people creating more byzantine ways of keeping hold of their resources while not technically counting them as personal resources and not technically being so rich. With enough shell companies, fake charities, and resources stashed in secret or illegal places or the bank accounts of relatives, people could keep most of what they have while dropping right off any list of wealthiest people. The wealthy are often experts at this for tax fraud reasons. Light’s response, of course, would be to start taking these things into account, seeking out hackers and accountants and various other experts to keep track of the actual wealthiest, and the wealthy (many of whom would be willing to risk their lives to stay that way) would use the dying as a metric for what the mysterious killer was using to score wealth and try to find ever more secret methods of resource hoarding. An accountancy arms race would be underway.
I’m not saying it’s a bad idea. I’m saying it would make a fantastic Death Note rewrite. Instead of Light making stupid mistakes against L, he could actually put his genius to work in Death Note: The Accountancy Wars.
write down cause of death as ‘shit self on live television’ to make extra sure
L, watching this unfold: Should I stop him? Maybe I should. But should I realllllly? Maybe I should wait a little bit and see what happens….
