Of the Lightbringer

Upon Komen’s announcement that they are renewing funding, I am posting this for the last time. A breakdown of the entire thing outlining how stupid this decision was can be found here. Short version: Karen Handel is anti-choice and the new provisions were her doing, public backlash, $3 million dollars get donated to Planned Parenthood, everybody wonders why Karen Handel hates poor people, Komen refunds Planned Parenthood. Also, Planned Parenthood’s President, Cecile Richards, has said that all of the money raised will go toward supporting Planned Parenthood’s breast health programs. I call this a win.

Time is pretty crazy. Like, right now, most people still awake (in the US) are referring to later hours taking place today, Saturday the 21st of January, as ‘tomorrow’. Even though it’s not. You’re going to get some sleep between now and those later hours, I’m sure, but it’s not tomorrow, really, is it? It’s the tomorrow of yesterday. What all days are, really. Gets me thinking, a bit… 

Eventually, we’re going to run out of tomorrows on which to do things. We procrastinate and tell ourselves that we’re going to get things done tomorrow. When does that tomorrow come? 

Make it happen now. It is tomorrow. Do something. 

Kim Jong-il’s official biography states he was born in a secret military camp on Baekdu Mountain in Japanese-occupied Korea on 16 February 1942. Official biographers claim that his birth at Baekdu Mountain was foretold by a swallow, and heralded by the appearance of a double rainbow across the sky over the mountain and a new star in the heavens. 

Sounds legit to me.

So I decided to start a new Terraria single play world with my old character. And decided to write about it. Travis style. I may write a short prologue in the future.

So it was me, Neveu, Paul, Brando, and this guy named Sam. We went to buy cups and water. Paul is going to get the Stater Bros. titty cancer water. I move over, pick up the one with more bottles and no pink and start ranting about how breast cancer support shit is stupid. We walk to the cashier, I’m still ranting, I finish my rant by saying (yelling) “So fuck the pink shit, I love cancer.” Brando says something along the lines of “So why do we hang out with you?” I respond “Because I’m goddamn entertaining.” (Keep in mind none of us have had anything to drink at this point) So this fucking shaved head retarded redneck looking motherfucker comes over and says “I don’t think that’s funny, man.” and starts walking the other direction. I just say something like “Well, it’s a good thing I didn’t ask what you think.” (I’m still holding the giant box of water bottles here) So he rushes over, pushes Paul and Chris out of the way, gets in my face, and says “WELL I’M FUCKING TELLING YOU WHAT I THINK MAN!” I think he expected me to back off when he got in my face, but I just stand there, looking up 4 inches into his eyes like the BAMF I am. Just respond with my lack of care and he starts talking about how I probably don’t know anybody with cancer. I start responding with “Yeah, my grandma has breast cancer, my mom died, my great grandma d—-” he cuts me off and just starts being a little bitch.  Stater Bros employees force him off of me and away from us, he yells a threat across the store, a few employees stand by the door watching him go. We put our shit on the treadmill thing, pay, and calmly walk out with the employees who escorted him out watching us to make sure he doesn’t try anything, courteous as can be.

We walk to the car, get in, drive off, talk and laugh about what just happened, make sure we’re not being followed by anybody, and then head back to Paul’s apartment, making jokes about the situation for most of the rest of the night. 

Moral of the story: Stater Bros. has fucking awesome employees. 

thefleshandthespirit:

Me: “What if people delete us for all this ‘BUZZ’ stuff?”

JJ: “What? It’s just a joke. Or spam. Whichever xD.”

Sam: “Our true friends should be able to handle this.”

Devin: “I think our true friends are right here.”

.

It’s these moments that make all the other crap worth it.

Worth it indeed. 3 hours well spent, and I would not trade any of you for a goddamn thing. I mean, unless somebody offered me the world, because each of you is a component part of the world, so I would still have you… SHUT UP IT’S 1:30 IN THE MORNING OKAY

  There seems to be a flair of pro-aboution rhetoric all over the interwebz. Everybody is saying that it is a form of oppression against women to stop them from killing their unborn babies. For seriously, have they forgotten that they were once unborn children themselves? Is a baby so inconvenient that you would kill it? The legal abortion limit is 24 weeks. A 24 week fetus can potentially survive a C-section and live a normal life.

   I have heard an analogy that compares a fetus to a seed. Saying that we destroy the seeds of plants with out a second thought, and place upmost value on the unborn “seed” of a child. This comparison is grossly erroneous. If the seed analogy is to apply, then it would refer to an unfertilized egg or sperm. NOT the fertilized pair. The seed analogy would then refer to the sprouted seed which would be considered a plant. That is alive and stuff. 

   If it is to be insisted that anti-abortion is to be a form of oppression on women, Then I would fully support it as such to be an alternative to the mass murder of human beings of all sexes, faiths, races, sexualities and intelligences. The world’s brightness is lessened because there are that many fewer lovers, dreamers, and creators on this planet.

It’s funny because foetuses don’t have rights. Like… any. At all. See, there’s still a lot of debate over what makes a person a person. And the majority of people seem to believe that a foetus is not a person. Therefore, a foetus is not a person. Conservatives simply want more ways to put women in their place. You know. Because conservatives are bigots. /generalizingandstereotyping /adhominem
This is why I’m more inclined to side with the left these days. All they want is my money, not my rights. Well, other than my guns. But I care less about those than I do about drugs, gays, women, and poor people. 

But I digress. Foetuses. Not people. Mississippi. Prop 26. 

A good number of women who abort would be unable to properly care for a child anyway. Forcing them to carry their full term costs them in both hospital fees pre-birth and time unable to work. Things they may not be able to afford. “Yes, but they can give it up for adoption!” So it can join the millions of other wards of the state? For who to pay for? We’re already so deep in the hole that it’s become funny again. (Oh look, I’m using a conservative argument against a conservative.)

Also, operating under the assumption that foetuses are, indeed, people, miscarriages would need to be investigated. Accidental death, you know. What if the mother caused it somehow? Even inadvertently, that would still be murder. Right? …Right? Many forms of birth control would also become illegal, due to how they act. The average birth control pill makes it harder for eggs to become fertilized, yes, but it also makes it harder for fertilized eggs to enter the womb, choking them out and killing them. That’s still murder, because a fertilized egg is life. Right?

It would be more like a planted seed growing roots, not a sapling. Roots come first. Birth is when it sprouts. We kill seeds before they sprout all the time. It happens naturally all the time. Your analogy is stupid. I’m done. 

To my followers: I am an asshole. I make no secret of this. If you don’t like it, fuck off. 

Just a post to detail a few recent events. This isn’t going to be positive (for the most part) or well written. I am going to omit details and lie. It’s also going to be really long. You have been warned.
