It's when you and a group of friends decide Star Wars needs more alien protagonists and slapstick, and use dice and self-made characters to achieve that.

That album really meant the world to be and discovering that people somehow didn't like it sort of messed me up. (I got better and learnt to ngaf, thankfully.)

I used to be part of a fansite for Veronica Mars, and I drew some not very professional cartoons, and one of their set designers (I think?) said something positive about one of them. Really meant a lot.

Definitely. For added fun, you could also combine that with religious schisms. But I think the part where they actually started killing nobility for real in the French revolution was at least somewhat new (although the republic of Florence had done it before).

Fortunately, revolution/oppressing revolution then became a brand new reason.

Seems like it's as good a reason to start a war as any.

OMG, which one was that?

We probably made up a few reasons as well.

Not against other religions, or other versions of their own religion, or over the way the very same religion is supposed to do stuff...

We're well-known for not having hated each other's guts to the point of cutting them out of each other pretty much since we found out you can make better weapons if you hit stones a certain way.

Thank you and the wildlife rescuers for helping him. I'm sure he appreciated that kindness.

Ah! Just reading up on it on wikipedia. This seems very familiar, I've definitely read about it at some point. (I'm much less of a theatre geek than you, so I wonder in which context I encountered it.)

The Aristophanes play? (I have no idea how I remembered that bit, honestly.)

We had a very princely visitor called Simba in our garden recently. It got a little awkward between him and Morrie, but thankfully they seemed both so confused that he had managed to get in, it didn't go beyond yowling.

Suspect when you get really rich, people stop criticising you, and at some point you just start believing your own bs. I'm sure she will go to her grave one day smug in the believe that she fought for justice her whole life.

I hope he steps barefoot on lego every day for the rest of his stupid little life.

Still very very very useless. (I have this friend, who is 6 feet tall and quite thin - I probably have 10 to 20kg on her, while being 5f3, but we often have the same size, because that makes sense.)

I mean, "accidents in the hadron collider" would honestly explain so much about our reality right now.

ngl, I followed you in part because your icon totally speaks to me. It's both ridiculously cute and also a tad weird, which is a combination I feel very drawn to (in part because I had a cat who looked very much like it). I also think your content stands out among the various cat accounts.

After spending roughly half to three-quarters of my life trying to change myself so that I would be more easily accepted: yep. (It hurts, though, when the people not accepting you include family members. And never really stops hurting, no matter how much older you are.)

Oh no. I'm so, so sorry.

It's a dance that we seem to be repeating every other decade. In the '90s, the same type of parents were afraid of their little angels becoming gay if exposed to anything vaguely resembling LGBTQ+ related topics.

Who the fudge worries about a nonbinary snail. I mean, how scared and petty do you have to be?

already suffering, and obviously will suffer even more the older I get. It's been pretty hard to get rid of the idea that I can't do this, or that it's too late, etc. I'm just trying to chip away at this wall I've been building up ever since I was little bit by bit.

Yeah, absolutely. I think for me it's really that I've never been very good at physical stuff, like, my learning curve is completely different to what I can do with my brain, & so my drive to actually do sth like sports is quite low. I've been working to change that mindset, bc my health is>

Impressed. (the last time I did anything martial arts related was... 20 years ago? I'm not sure I could do more than 5 before something seriously reminds me of my current age.)

As both a history and literature student I've found that it is much easier to deal w/ problematic artists once they are dead; at least then they can't keep adding crappy things to the pile.

Though hating the art, but loving the artist is probably easier than the other way round.

A friend's mother passed recently (she was 84 I believe?), and because she loved yellow, they had everyone at the funeral wear something yellow to honour her. I thought that was really cool.

What a supreme dickhead, doing something that shitty in a situation like that.
Among my worst jobs was the time when I had to put stuff in shelves in a drugstore, bc you had to be quick, but also pay attention to what went where & how much of it, & my brain just couldn't deal with it.

It's been recommended to me, but I'm already pretty bad with therapy, so I simply never got around to starting it.

In the late 18th century, they also used to put alum and chalk into bread to make it appear whiter (white bread was eaten by the upper classes, while the lower classes had darker ones.).
