Arrest this

Time for that healthy release of pent up aggression. Pardon the foray into realms usually omitted from this area. I mean, the line has been crossed again and again. However, this latest breach really gives me the red ass.

We’re all a bunch of flakes. Crunchy crunchy, tasting good with ketchup. So do not meddle in the affairs of dragons. All the best intentions, only some of the backup.


What are the chances that this one might be arrested at some point for being declared an enemy combatant? Clearly disrespecting authority already by pressing her mouth and face against the shop glass, making faces at strangers. What are the chances that I'll disappear at some point because someone claimed that their violent action against the federal government was influenced by this post? How would you know if I was being held in preparation for a military tribunal?


All of this, all of it, is an idea. Live for yourself and your white picket fences, live to bring joy to those around you, lock your doors, love unconditionally, ignore your neighbors, say what you mean in truth and fear the future. Choose.


It is heartbreaking to see a parasitic species as the largest threat to biodiversity and the cause of another mass extinction. Yet, the world doesn’t care one way or the other. No anthropomorphism there. One source of the beauty, magic and fear instilled by nature, as defined in terms of the prevailing sentiment of our civilization being separate from it, is its stoicism - life will continue in one form or another. Choose what you want to do about it.

See what you want to see.
