And it helps to remember that this ksnt just some chump writing this. Tolkien got sent to fucking WWI and fought in the trenches. He saw some bad times and if he believed in the common person, maybe I can too. Even when they’re willfully ignorant assholes sometimes

That’s how it goes. Turns out you can destroy things a lot faster than you can build them. And you can build things poorly faster than you can build them right

The 30s and 40s seemed hopeless too.

I choose to hope and I’ve been remembering Tolkien to help

In fact I would call it a duty to your oath to do so

Yeah an Anglican priest can be indistinguishable from a catholic one except for the fact that she and her wife have kids.

It’s who provides medicine in America. Why do you think our media depicts healers as clerics and priests.

Fr. John gives a hell of a sermon alongside his trademark appendectomy

According to census unless their revenues are as high as their capital expenses then yes they are

That’s not true. You get 10 injection presses and a few molds. Yeah you’re out a few million but nobody would argue that your facility isn’t small given you probably only really need 20-30 employees at that point. Or you hire a few welders as a job shop for welded pieces. Thats manufacturing still.

You gotta wait until they start using zyklon on seraphim. And even then they were armed.

Of course Maher got on board with him. He loves anyone with whom he can agree their shared farts smell of roses. Sigh…

Just give him the Cromwell

The king is stark both in his nakedness and his raving madness. We know it. But it’s like climate change, you point it out and an unreasonable number of people act like you’re the crazy one.

So yes, an insane, demented, and cruel man was elected president and all but declared himself king. And lest we find ourselves a Brutus, whether of the styling of Marcus Junius Brutus or of Lucius Junius Brutus, or the senate decides to declare a republic or we do as the Benghazians did to their mad king of Ghaddafi, or we antagonize the world to the point of being liberated… we’re at an impasse.

The mad king demands we all suffer, that some of us die, and that we burn every resource our future holds. And if we do not he will rage at us and his court of cruelty will attack those who resist.

We’re suffering a critical shortage of normAls to make weird

I just want a fucking house and freedom to live as I please

He does understand that neet gamers are the republican base right?

I don’t disagree but I will say I’ve found an adhd friendly meditation technique that helps (doesn’t cure). I walk or bike and let my mind wander and wander until it has wandered itself out. It takes practice but it helps me.

Wait that star is supposed to be nautical? And gay?

“Hey Elon try heroin”

Well he does have a tattoo in honor of the actual cause of the autism epidemic /s

But no seriously its horrifying and if you arent pissed that’s a problem

So I’m 30. At 19 this time of year I was on the verge of accepting that I’m a trans woman (i thought I was nonbinary [yes gender] and never coming out). And yeah today I’m in the process of moving to a blue state with my wife.

19 year old me would mostly be shocked I want to live tbh
