I never post. Because generally I think who cares what I think or feel. Posting online is frequently just screaming into the void. Sometimes I need that though. So-- FUCK FASCIST. FUCK ICE. FUCK TRUMP.

This is from a 1990 She-Hulk comic. They're passing through a universe called the "Trashiverse" where everything is trash.

This is in the replies and it demonstrates a real issue which is if you find profundity from an AI, you’re responding to something profound a human being wrote that was vacuumed up and what ends up happening is you thank AI and not only don’t thank the person, you have no idea they were involved

We stayed up to watch The Perseids, but with every streak of light there was a single scream.
Not from the earth, but from above. We wanted to watch, but we didn't want to hear.
So hands against ears. We enjoy the show, without the trouble of having to listen.

I hate in movies with medieval combat to make one side seem like tactical geniuses the other side has to be completely brainless. Just put the bar on the floor and pretend a shield wall was a brilliant singular maneuver rather than a obvious standard.

"Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl" in the 6th grade. Do I really need to explain?
Screw your favorite book, which was the first that upset you?
A Wrinkle in Time was mine. The possessed baby scared the everloving shit out of me. My babysitter had to call my mom to come home early because I was hysterical.

Coming out of this election, while we celebrate a torie defeat, lets not just focus on the big bad losing, lets also look at the PPC, whose vote counts in some places seem so low, that it's clear that candiates couldn't convince there own familes to vote for them.

Sometimes, you labour over whether or not a character should stab another character, and then you struggle with the decision of... "Should they stab them again?"
Some times, writing is plotting, exploring themes, letting the poetic prose flow... other times you're just sitting there thinking, "Should this character stab this other character?"
