This popped up in my feed right after a post about people preaching on airplane flights. Can't help but think how much more I'd rather hear about the gospel of Mothra.

Hm. Did a "1 card = 1 month" Tarot reading for the next year, as is my wont on my birthday. Pulled the King of Swords in reverse for the month of November. Guess I'm not getting my hopes up for election season, but what else is new?

Whether that was the textual intent or not, I think there's definitely room for the "actually fat" interpretation of Carrie.

There's a lot of overlap between the way "real" fat people are portrayed/spoken of, and the kinds of fat insults directed at "normal" people just because. As somebody who was made fun of "with cause," so to speak, the bullying in "Carrie" hits home just as intensely.

I don't even know . . . I can see how, based on King's track record w/ fat characters, the *intent* in "Carrie" might be that she wasn't really fat. Like, if she were a girl my size, she probably would've just been a monster instead of a sympathetic monster. HOWEVER -

What gets me is, a Scrooge origin story would be not only redundant, but pretty depressing. Lonely child turns into miserly asshole, the end?

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

This one sounds like it belongs in the Holy Grail taunting scene. Although those guys were French, so maybe it wouldn't work. 🤔

Your eyes dart around the Chuck E Cheese ball pit in panic. I rise silently behind you, face painted in big red, blue, and yellow circles.

I think where i basically land is if god didn’t want me consuming 400mg of caffeine in 20 minutes then peak performance wouldn’t depend on it

Key word being "seem." Part of the reason, for me at least, that everything feels so shitty now is, by now I have learned many of the nightmarish people in power today were *still in power* back then. All that's changed is a mask slip and a few decades of consequences.

Wipe out my debt, or act as a nest egg in case I need emergency medical care, or IDK, ever have to flee the country and need cash on hand . . . Who gives a shit about becoming upper class?

Oh, surely they can work some digital de-aging magic, that won't AT ALL make a dude already in kinda rough shape look like a strangely rubbery corpse . . .

there are two genders: “the eagles couldn’t just fly the ring to mordor because they are actually powerful creatures who could be corrupted by the power of the one ring”, and “they couldn’t do it because then there would be no story, do you hate stories???”

I mean, we joke, but that's 100% the solution many right-wing types have in mind . . .

Still though, no cracked tiles, no chips, no nothing - it's pretty impressive!

She was a hell of a woman

And what the hell was that lower floor made of? Not a mark on it - real 'why don't they make the plane out of the black box?' stuff.
