honestly one of the most noteworthy things, imo, about the robert jordan era of wheel of time is his full stop refusal to glamorize pain. through every single character’s experience in the books, he said over and over again: pain and trauma do not make you stronger, they do not make you better, they do not improve your life, and there is no one who is ~ too strong ~ to be susceptible to pain. when he showed intense hardass siuan sanche giving up information under torture, when he showed egwene controlled as a damane, when he showed rand’s mental breakdown as he was subjected to more pain and torture and horrors, rj really said stop pretending suffering has moral value with his whole chest

The thing about Wheel of Time is everyone in it is in an epic fantasy except the Forsaken, who are all in a workplace sitcom where everyone hates each other.

Giving aid and comfort to enemies.

That should’ve been a question at the recent RepubliKKKan debate.

I get the outrage, but the answer to this question is, because Nancy Pelosi is a fraud and a coward, and the Republicans aren’t actually responsible for that.

Care to explain how Nancy Pelosi was supposed to get two-thirds of the House to vote for expulsion, when enough of the Republican caucus has said they don’t think January 6 was a bad thing to block that?

Friendly reminder for any other people on the autism spectrum:

It’s not recommended to offer to kill someone’s dad, especially if you’re talking to a stranger

may I please have more context?

Sometimes dads are terrible and should die, and you can console people by offering to rid them of this troublesome parent, but you should be friends with the person before making the offer

how the fuck are we supposed to make friends if not through gestures of patricide?

Unknown. I’ll provide updates if I ever figure it out

Went on the genius page for margaritaville and the line ‘some people claim there’s a woman to blame’ has the word woman bolded

Which leads to an annotation about Eve and the apple of knowledge

Eve eating the apple lead to margaritaville

Here’s the thing. It doesn’t. The Garden of Eden doesn’t lead to Margaritaville. The speaker, we will call him Jim, has heard rumors - perhaps even propoganda, that this is the case.

But there isn’t. There never was. There is no original sin, no passing off of responsibility to some mythical mother figure.

It is, in the end, his own damn fault.

Labour having a normal one.

Guess older and disabled activists can go fuck themselves?

“Party of the workers for the workers” - don’t make us fucking laugh.

“That’s right volunteers, you’re not on the party payroll so you all fuck off canvassing while hungry, and we’ll pig out in a separate room away from you.”

So with Labour backing the continuation of the two-child cap this week (which takes money away from working families and keeps children in poverty) we’ve had Sir Kid Starver and Sir Activist Starver.

Fucking 10/10 PR from labour.

She tells people they arent there to be sit about and eat. Yet she begs on her own page for people to buy her stuff for her birthday?

jesus fuck her page is depressing… Labour turning more and more into torylite

shouldn’t the best rooms in them have seats, water and food readily available for all to be welcome to have?

The idea of ‘don’t post something fucking stupid on twitter because people will look for receipts.’ Here’s a bunch of disgusting things she said in her 20s.

It’s like they want to lose.
