This combined with playing text-heavy JRPGs did so much for me. Going through Legend of Legaia and Wild Arms on PSX straight up forced a stronger vocabulary.

Plus, if you were skipping over text or not paying attention, you’d get legitimately stuck in those titles.

I learned how to read well because I was doing it all the time. A Goosebumps book and an encyclopedia volume hated to see me coming. I dont even know how you develop proper reading skills if you only read books at school.

I came up evangelical, if anything it’s *understated*.

Seeing movies like “A Thief in the Night”, “Tribulation”, “Left Behind” (including the novels and accompanying young adult series) as a child…they’re legit obsessed with end times prophecies.

I've grown tired of "difference of opinion" being used as if we're discussing pizza toppings instead of human lives

You also don't have to deal with TSA lines and other airport shenanigans, plus more legroom! Best way to travel up and down the NEC by far

Reminds me of that old tumblr post, lives rent free in my head lol

First tumblr post reads:

“Sure he's well versed in leftist theory but does he do the dishes”

Response reads:

“This is such a succinct critique of male leftists who think of it as theory & wont even get off their ass to clear the table”
