Shoutout Salt Lake City and 28 yr old forest rangers

“with real people, it's five big things, ten. A hundred. You go to war and see and do things you can never take back. You see death in so many forms through your job that you're constantly shocked at the capacity humans have for cruelty. You build a marriage and watch yourself destroy it. You even learn you can lose parents twice, il turns out.
You can lose a whole hell of a lot.”

Shoutout Salt Lake City!

My fury is for every woman who's been told by the church that God values her marriage more than her soul, her safety, her freedom. My fury is for every woman who has been taught that God is man and man is God. My fury is for every woman who has been told that her bad marriage is the cross upon which she should hang herself.

Moments ago, God was a mother, but now God is an administrator. I was in God’s womb, but now I’m in God’s office, waiting to hear my punishment.

Eventually I begin to notice the boys noticing me. As I pass them in the hallway, I practice carrying myself in a way that announces: I am available to play the game now. And then I set myself down on the chessboard and wait to be played. As pawns inevitably do, I get picked up.

Bullets are the number one cause of death in children in the United States.

“There is only one way to survive an ectopic pregnancy in a fallopian tube: Abort the pregnancy, most commonly with two sequential pills of methotrexate. If these pills fail, or the ectopic ruptures the tube, then emergency surgery must be done to remove the pregnancy, and this often results in the loss of the fallopian tube and future fertility challenges.”

Basically have learned so far to never ignore chest pain.

“If your child plays a contact sport, consider a helmet cap, or consider lower-risk sports like swimming, tennis, cross-country, or chess. Chess which is recognized by the international Olympic Committee as a sport, has an exceedingly low number of TBIs”

This is 🔥

There comes a point in every marriage when a woman realizes that the man she married is a freak. This is inevitable. It cannot be avoided. The only real question in the matter is what type of freak your husband will be meaning: if you are lucky, you will find out your husband is preternaturally into vintage children's train sets, and you will not find out that your husband pays high school cheerleaders for sex.

“I FEEL VERY WOMAN, AND I FEEL VERY MAN. I FEEL BOTH, AND I FEEL NEITHER, AND / FEEL LIKE ALL THE GENDER EXPANSIVENESS THAT EXISTS IN THE WORLD IS IN ME. I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE WORD TRANS MEANS TO ME, TOO.
IT'S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WORD, AND SUCH A BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY THAT IS FULL OF RESILIENCE. AND IT... IT JUST FEELS LIKE MAGIC.”

This better make me cry as much as the movie

Insane lesbians! Fun!

“They always call depression the blues, but I would have been happy to waken to a periwinkle outlook. Depression to me is urine yellow. Washed out, exhausted miles of weak piss.”

Some great points in here

From my mother I inherited my looks and a tendency to migraine. From my father I inherited an optimism which did not leave me until recently.

The game’s (Animal Crossing) traveling musician, K. K. Slider, a laid-back hippy Jack Russell with a guitar and prominent eyebrows is an animal caricature of one of Nintendo’s composers, Kazi Totaka, also the voice of Yoshi.

Pokémon is no longer a barrier between generations: It's a bridge.
But then, it always was a bridge. In the nineties, people feared that kids vere playing video games to the exclusion of everything else, that games isolated them from the world and from other people. But for so many of the billions of us who play video games, it's exactly the opposite. We play in pursuit of connection.

I got so excited to see all the chapter titles. There’s on about animal crossing near the end. Ee !!
