some people dislike america because we do a lot of fucked-up stuff. such as torture, murder, secret nazi-type human experiments, etc. but i think we're the best 💖

i've always been unable to suspend disbelief about so-called "humans" who are too ready to trust each other. but i am far off the standard human distribution so this leads me to discount many things that more typical people would find entirely convincing

in these troubled times of social unrest and government oppression, i take comfort in the fact that the Cathedral is captured by woke

i ate the fairy food it was like silver bells frost-rimed autumn leaves

like breathing in for the first time; it didn't stick to my teeth.

now i choke myself on dirt. now hunger snaps its jaws.

the world gone to ash, dead leaves, moist offal

steaming in the sun. i chew and swallow. i knew the price; i paid it.

i wanted what i took. there’s nothing left to spit back up

but i know now what it tastes like you’d want it too like starlight

moonlit water—birdsong—catching snowflakes on your tongue—

it was like nothing i can tell you. some things are

too bright to really see you’ll go blind looking it was like that

but i could see it, clear off to the horizon—

like candyfloss gone when you bite down.

It is self-evident that, ordinarily, one must possess a particular kind of insanity to be a good Poster. However, there is on this site a certain class of users who are, by all appearances, relatively normal and sane individuals but who, through careful study and emulation, have learned the art of Posting. They cannot produce Posts in anything like the volume of those naturally cursed with the Gift, but are nonetheless capable of periodic feats of brilliance. I consider user @triviallytrue to be the holotype of this class.
