I still really like this print I did where I'm a frog and my friends are frogs and we're playing frog mariocart

start seeing everything as God, but keep it a secret

i hate this fucking "i'm just a girl" brand of feminism bc it is so easy for young women in their 20s who are afraid of big changes and personal growth to revert to depending on their gender and the associated fragility of it so that they can make it through life when really they're just trapping themselves in a position where they cannot and will not grow out of that fear.

Thinking about Agamemnon sacrificing his teenage daughter in order to go to war. Thinking about Odysseus trying to avoid going to war but when the choice was to kill his infant son or to go to war he chose the war. Thinking about how upon the death of Achilles, Odysseus recruited Achilles's teenage son Neoptolemus to join the war. About Odysseus or sometimes it's Neoptolemus throwing Hector's infant son off the battlements to his death. About Achilles's ghost demanding the sacrifice of Hecuba's daughter Polyxena before the Greeks can sail home from Troy and when Hecuba begged Odysseus to spare Polyxena he said no, I want to go home, we're going to kill her. Thinking about how the only one of the Greek generals opposing Polyxena's sacrifice was Agamemnon. How Odysseus never wanted to be here but he will inflict the pain he wanted to avoid on others out of his duty to the other Greek soldiers. How Agamemnon, leader of the Greek soldiers, is so, so tired of sacrificing children to this war. How it happens anyway.

thomas cromwelllll you have to stop. you have too much street wisdom. your station is too upwardly mobile. you smoke more different. your liturgy is too heretical. your fabric choices are too fine and discerning. your bitch is too bad. they’ll kill you. 

[generalmelchett]

and is your shame helpful? is it inspiring goodness and change? or is it keeping you frozen in time unable to move on and be everything you have expanded to be?

to be honest its crazy to me people even entertain “kids shouldn’t be in public spaces” as like a legitimate point. like great thank you for your input anyway this is real life and we live in a society and people have children. your perspective is warped and misanthropic but most of all its just like laughably out of touch and unrealistic. you might as well be arguing that rain should be made of grape juice instead of water.
