How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

The Orphan Crusher is here to stay. If we don’t feed more Orphans to the Crusher the Orphan Crushing industry will die. It’s time to wake up to the reality of the Orphan Crusher. The Orphan Crusher is worth billions. We need to teach people to use the Orphan Crusher. It’s here to stay.

no one cares except me and it's not important to the narrative however if I don't describe the diverse clay properties of bowls when they come up I will scream

98% of readers will not know what I mean when I say a bowl is flashed-glaze but I DO AND THAT'S WHAT MATTERS

So the thing about picking up new hobbies while also having a writing hobby is that it fundamentally changes how you think about details. Like doing two years of pottery and suddenly it's very important to make note of people's bowls and what that says about them, their tastes, what's available...

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Big Game Hunter

A man dressed in a safari outfit including a pith helmet, monocle, and a big fluffy mustache, sits in a fluffy chair holding a glass of liquor on top of a rug that looks distinctly like Tigger from Disney's Winnie The Pooh's flayed skin. Further, behind him are mounted heads that look remarkably like Bugs Bunny, Yogi Bear, and Mickey Mouse. The man opines "there is just such an exquisite thrill in the hunt- Even though they are such simple, oblivious creatures, God's innocents, it is a primal battle of wits. The really clever ones say things like 'No! Please! I'm not really Mickey, this is a costume. I'm just a guy in a suit. Someone call park security-' but I know their tricks. Oh no no, you shan't be dropping an anvil on MY head."

This semester in pottery is my time to shine. I'm committing myself to the little projects I wasn't sure of, was a little nervous about

which is a long way of saying if in three months I don't have at least the dismembered limbs of a porcelain clown in my hands y'all need to throw rocks at me
