the trope of ‘this entity exists only because we think it does’ is so so so fucking good and cannot be overdone in my opinion

like the idea that you built the monster hunting you, that you invited the entity into our world, that your fear is what it feeds on, and that once made real, it cannot possibly be killed because you’re stuck in this loop of ‘he’s real because i’m scared’ and ‘i’m scared because he’s real’

I’ll flip this and say it’s also my fav tropes on gods.

A deity exists because you believe in it. The more believers the stronger it grows. The power of prayer and faith being tangible and coveted, like a currency in an invisible economy of power…

I love it and used it in short stories and will keep doing it because I just love the concept of the human psyche bringing about its monsters as well as its saviours.

And sometimes it’s the same being.

Thank you for your service O7

adding a blank emoji to my discord server might be the best thing to ever happen to text communication. asynchronous digital equivalent of hanging out in a room with your friends in silence. let's all nothing together

Theyre putting him down :(

I usually don’t post about big events but I haven’t seen anyone post this yet. This is the piece of shit ICE agent that shot and killed a woman trying to get away from him. Nothing has been publicly revealed about the woman other than she’s described as middle aged and white. No name or photos given.

Don’t let them think that just because they put on a mask they’re safe from public scrutiny

Here he is without the mask:

it appears the above photo of his face without a mask is fake, as it lines up perfect with this frame from a video of the murder. it also literally says "AI-generated content" in the bottom corner of the photo. please be diligent when spreading information regarding things like this

thank you for pointing this out!!!

He has been identified though as Jonathan Ross

Jonny boy seems to have a history of trying to get into peoples cars.

"While the Department of Homeland Security has not released Ross’ name, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said earlier that the agent who killed Renee Good had been in a situation months earlier where he was dragged by a car during an enforcement operation."

yeah, people have pointed out how ironic it is that for all Musk's stupid invocations of The Matrix, Vivian is the one whose life story has played out like Neo

It's very common for former "designer babies" to have trauma from not just the fact that they were basically a product sold to their parents as superior healthy optimized children, but also because biology doesn't work like that & the science is overhyped so many parents become resentful & abusive when the perfect kid they paid a lot of money for ends up just being a regular imperfect human being.

The first "designer babies" are already fully grown adults & many of them are speaking out about how messed up it is.

Let's talk conservative.

Gay straight bi. There is a conservative world out there to discover.

Conservatives

We'll start by talking financial and move on to other topics

It is an exciting time to be an American

A growing economy

Reductions in inflation

Tax changes

The power of tariffs

Don't be a sheep. Don't follow the herd. Do your own research.

my browser extension that colors posts based on the poster's blog theme did something very fun just now

"Sex is what makes us human" is stupid. Almost every species fucks. Humans are the only species that jumps motorcycles over school buses that are on fire. Some other things too probably

my meds are ketchup and fork water

I don't know who needs to hear this, but it's time to take your ketchup and fork water

GUESS WHO TURNED 30 TODAY!

That’s right! The world’s oldest (documented) cat! Her name is Flossie. She was born a stray in Liverpool in late 1995.

since she looks a bit sad and ponderous in the photos above, here are some pictures of her with her owner a few years back:

Flossie is emanating an aura of authority, definitely boss of that household

if i was born without a testosterone deficiency i would’ve been a menace to society

step one: be extremely depressed during covid-19 quarantine

step two: in your diffidence, leave many half-drunk glasses of water around your apartment

step three: your cat, who is stupider than any other mammal on earth, living or dead, starts drinking from your many abandoned water cups

step four: the cat now believes these are for her

step five: years later, you keep a glass of water on your bed side stand. not such a strange sight. however, it is the cat's glass of water. she loves it. she drinks from it, she sleeps beside it on the bed next to your pillow to jealously guard it from harm, she cries when the level gets too low and she can't cram her little head in far enough to reach the water. when overnight guests are there you have to explain that even if they are parched in the night, they don't wanna drink the glass of water, because that is the cat's glass of water.
