done with the "came back wrong" trope. what about came back American

I just don’t get it. How can our society act so goddamned normal about seahorses. How can anybody so casually accept that that’s a fish???

This is one of nature’s most anatomically perverse of all beasts. A FISH, like a carp or a bass or a beta is a fish, but it bent its body straight up only to bend its head permanently back down. It stretched its skull into a pipe. It tapered its tail like a lizard, specifically like a chameleon. It can also move its eyes independently by the way, you know, like a chameleon. Fun fact, it can change color to express its mood, like you know whatever does that. It doesn’t properly swim anymore. It buzzes its few remaining fins like an insect’s wings to float itself around at a snail’s pace. It lives its whole life clinging to coral branches or seaweed, which means it decided to become a “tree dweller” in an environment where gravity didn’t even matter anyway. The males get pregnant. They make noises at each other by rubbing some of their neck bones together. Every day, EVERY DAY a mated pair does a little dance and a little neck bone song so they remember which two seahorses they were. They’re a beautiful precious obscenity. Nothing so adorable ever made such a strong case against a logical creator.

They have as little skin and meat as they could get away with. Their skeleton is almost all they are.

You know what, maybe I will.

"...from the scientific standpoint, we cannot say that magick is any more or less than a form of applied psychology...which helps us to attain a greater level of understanding and control over our individuality. It's good for you for many of the same reasons that meditation, yoga, mindfulness, etc. is good for you, it's just a more elaborate application of similar principles."

(i found this somewhere on the internet years ago and i can't find the original source)

i have a lot of affection for ghosts because they basically want one of two things: attention, or for you to leave their house as soon as possible. both relatable and respectable goals. and they're already dead so what are you going to do about it.

Aight two people liked the pie post, if I'm feeling better tomorrow I'm making pie.

Mutual combat laws should be a thing everywhere. Society would be so much calmer if everyone was aware that they're free to consensually beat the shit out of each other if both parties deem it necessary.
