You knew what you wanted and, boy, you got her
one of the most baffling things of the pro prostitution movement is their favorite mantra, “sex work is work.” that’s so funny. what do you expect me to say, “no it isn’t?” because i don’t care. makes not a lick of difference to me. you know what else is work? child labor, sweatshop labor, prison labor, slave labor, sharecropping, indentured servitude. all work. do you know why reasonable people are against those things? it’s not because they aren’t work. it’s because the inherently exploitative and potentially injurious conditions of the jobs make them morally unjustifiable. “sex work is work,” so what? what’s your point?
Whenever I take a long car ride I end up exhausted afterwards, and I'm always like "why am I so tired? I was just sitting around doing nothing all day."
But the answer, it turns out, is I was doing something. Riding in a car jars your body in many directions and requires constant microadjustments of your muscles just to stay in place and hold your normal posture. Because you're inside the car, inside the situation, it's easy not to notice all the extra work you're doing just to maintain the status quo.
There's all sorts of work that we think of as "free" that require spending energy: concentrating, making decisions, managing anxiety, maintaining hypervigilance in an unfriendly environment, dealing with stereotype threat, processing a lot of sensory input, repairing skin cells damaged by sun exposure, trying to stay warm in a cold room.
The next time you think you're tired from "nothing", consider instead that you're probably in situation where you're doing a lot of unnoticed extra work just to stay in place.

we need more autistic jocks btw. jocks who are obsessive nerds about their sport of choice. jocks who are rigid about their workout routines and obsessed with the math of performance statistics and nutrition and reps. jocks who don't have time for alcohol or misogyny because why are you guys chugging beer and trash talking we need to be TRAINING. guy with no tolerance for homophobia because Teammate Trevor is an integral part of the strategy play who cares who he's dating
more jocks whose sole interest is playing the game to the very best of their ability, and infodumping doing a play-by-play review immediately afterwards at the sports bar while his teammates are trying to just get drunk and decompress

In Judaism , life begins at first breath not conception, so abortion is kosher. Thoughts on that?
I don't know all the specifics about what Jewish law says about life and abortion, although I know of several Jewish people who are against abortion from conception but it doesn't matter what Jewish law says about the beginning of life. They don't get to decide.
We know when life begins. It's not subjective. Every religion doesn't get to pick their own point when life starts and kill people who fall outside of that line. They can say they don't see life as valuable until a certain point, but they can't decide where it starts.
Science has shown us when life starts and any religion that says it starts at any point other than conception is objectively incorrect and should not be given any consideration when legislating the issue.
You thought when people painted the "someday you're going to have to choose, for real, between the World and God, you won't be able to walk the line between both" picture that they were talking about martyrdom.
Some extreme. "Trample this picture of Jesus." "Say you don't believe!" "Convert to a different religion!"
You didn't realize that it wouldn't look like that. You didn't realize that when the line gets drawn in the sand, and Jesus is on one side, the other side would look like crying people wailing out, "why can't you just accept me for who I am? Why aren't I enough for you?"
You didn't realize that the choice would be between Jesus the Truth...or a majority of people in the culture making movies, making t-shirt slogans, changing their names, gently telling you that maybe this word in the Bible doesn't mean what you think it means, maybe love just means love, maybe you can have Jesus and whatever sexuality you want.
"Did God really say...?"
You thought it would be something overt. But the bad guys never said, "hey, choose the dark side over the light." They always said, "hey, maybe you don't even know what Jesus said."
The choice is: "It is the Lord. Let Him do what seems good to Him." OR "Did God really say...?"
That's the choice. This is where the rubber meets the road. This is our "choose this day who you will serve." As for me, I'm serving the Lord, and He's holding on to me. He never changes, and yes He did really say.
Hold fast to the truth. It doesn't change. People and cultures do.
Marlene: Can you keep a secret?
Sirius: Yeah, we can keep a secret.
Marlene: What?
Sirius: Yeah, me and James are like a vault. No one else will know.
Marlene: No, I want you to know. I don't want James to know.
Sirius: If you don't want James to know, then why are you telling me?
I am a WHORE for “the love is requited, they’re both just idiots”
"omg imagine Sirius and Barty next to each other in Azkaban, they would be gossiping so much!!!"
meanwhile what Sirius actually tells us about their time together in Azkaban:

Sleeping Beauty (1959)
Sweet princess, if through this wicked witch’s trick, a spindle should your finger prick… a ray of hope there still may be in this, the gift I give to thee. Not in death, but just in sleep, the fateful prophecy you’ll keep. And from this slumber you shall wake, when true love’s kiss, the spell shall break.
James Potter was just okay to most, but he was fucking hot to Lily Evans.
James: Why don’t you just tell Marlene how you feel about her?
Remus: James had to ask Lily at least a hundred times.
James: And guess what, we’re married now.
Remus: Exactly, what have you got to lose?
Sirius: Her.
