Back in 2017 I signed up for one of the Cards Against Humanity sillies and did their Cards Against Humanity Saves America. Basically they were like fuck Tr*mp and his border wall and used the funds from the campaign to buy land and to make all 150,000 contributors part owners of said land across the US/Mexico border.

It was fun and silly and I got a little certificate.

Today I got an email that Elon Musk illegally annexed that land for SpaceX and that CAH are suing him over it. So possibly I’ll get like $100 if they manage to win a lawsuit and stick it to Musk. It’s like even more bang for my original buck.

Ok so. I have a question. If there was a full glass of human blood in front of you, and the was absolutely no health risk to drinking it, like, that's not ever a factor, how much of it do you think you would drink? Because I would at least take one solid gulp.

I know I’ve posted about this but I still think about the time I was a dog groomer in the middle of nowhere and that old lady called in and said she had a wolf and we were like whatever and booked her because sooo many people who say they even have wolf crosses actually just have GSD/malamute crosses or whatever so she came in and it was actually a wolf and I was like ma’am idk if I can bathe your wolf actually and she was like I told you it was a wolf and I was like I mean. That’s true you are correct this is on us. However,

I’m so normal about her (we need to taste each other’s blood)

you guys know that the reason "nazi punks fuck off" was a phrase that was coined is because there were a lot of nazis in the punk scene. right. like that's why they have to say that. because there are nazis there...

like. "punk" does not necessitate being "progressive" or "radical" or "politically left" or whatever. plenty of "punks" have incredibly famously been literal actual nazis. when you say things like "you can't be punk and racist!" or whatever that is just like. factually untrue. because "punk" isn't a political movement it's just a Vibe and an Aesthetic and Music Scene. I'm sorry but the Revolution is not being fomented at basement shows.

I think it's important to remind everyone about the difference between intrusive thoughts, and goblin thoughts. Intrusive thoughts are by their nature horrifying, disturbing, completely unwanted by the person having them, and by no means something that one would ever want to do. As a matter of fact, they're often literally the opposite of what one would ever want to do. Things that make you feel like you're a horrible person just for thinking that, and possibly too scared to even speak of them to anyone, because they're horrible thoughts that are an intruder in your brain.

You would never, ever, ever want to "let the intrusive thoughts win", because you are not a monster and do not want to hurt people or do disgusting things. The thoughts that pop into your brain that you know you probably shouldn't do, but now that you thought of it you really really want to, those are goblin thoughts. Goblin thoughts are mainly harmless, do not cause significant distress, and - if indulged - would not cause danger or harm to yourself or anyone whose health and safety you care about.

So if you're in a situation like holding your precious brand new baby niece and get the thought "hey what if I just threw her out of that window?" and it makes your heart sink in horror and you have to hand her to someone else because it scares you that you'd even think about doing that, that's an intrusive thought. They are completely involuntary, a symptom of OCD, PTSD, and a lot of other disorders and they are not your fault.

But the thing where you're peacefully minding your own business and suddenly become aware that you could totally DIY those accessory bat wings for your shoes and wear them in public and nobody could stop you because you're 30 and you can do whatever you want, that's a goblin thought.

Many cultures have a sort of "insider/outsider clause" for their cultural customs. A stranger, like a child, has the privilege of being given some mercy for failing to behave as one properly does - for how should they have known any better? And much like a child, this slack that is given from social norms is tied to their limited status. If one acts like a child, they will be treated as a child, and they will not have the privileges of grown adults. And if one behaves like a stranger, they will always be a stranger, until they begin to make an effort to respect the society's rules.

I can understand if the neighbour currently hogging the laundry room despite of the rules which are clearly written on a sign on the wall in two languages doesn't speak enough finnish or english yet to understand that the time limit is 4 hours per week, and that they can't just leave them there for 24 hours even if they booked that time on the schedule books. Or this person might not be aware how much the act of following common rules is seen as a sign of respect, and ignoring the rules is an insult and expression of disrespect.

But if I find out that this unknown neighbour who won't follow the rules is either native here or otherwise should know by now how dead seriously finns take the law of written rules, I swear to god the next time I catch their laundry in the public laundry rooms at the wrong time I will personally take it down into a pile on the floor and piss on it.
