she says "oh you like that huh 😏" i tell her that's a most astute observation

I can easily perform my duties as the Supreme pontiff of the Roman catholic church I can safely perform my duties as the Supreme pontiff of the Roman catholic church My papal encyclicals are important The Roman curia is helpful to me and respects my authority The Holy See has a good relationship with the government of Italy and the Italian catholic dioceses Cardinals are nice to me Swiss guardsmen are nice to me I look cute in a mitre I am capable and worthy to occupy the seat of St. Peter I can quickly and easily identify conspiracies to undermine my authority Conspiracies against me fail quickly and easily I am loved and respected by the catholic laity and clergy I am beloved by nuns I am not afraid to enter and occupy my small bulletproof glass chamber during the papal motorcade Occupying a small chamber made of bulletproof glass is not scary   My papal motorcade is easy and being enclosed in the bulletproof pope cage does not make me upset or scared I enjoy my motorcade and do not have a panic attack because of being enclosed in a pope-sized chamber The popemobile is safe for me The popemobile cannot hurt me Celibacy is OK

“I was very, very emotionally avoidant. I strictly emotionally avoided everything my whole twenties. I was catching up with my sister the other day, and I was like, ‘I think from the way that we were raised, I think we were taught that we have to earn love.’ Instead of it being an unconditional thing or that being an unconditional entity. I’m not saying it is that. I don’t know whether that comes from that African upbringing, that strict upbringing: get your grades, get into a good uni, become a doctor, become a lawyer. Start overachieving. It was like you have to prove why you’re lovable. We’re trained to be like, ‘If I’m not exceptional, I won’t be loved.’ Certainly, I think that was my thing. So, yeah, I think I’m just learning now like, ‘Oh, you are allowed to be loved.’ You don’t have to be excellent or aspire to that term, ‘Black excellence’. What the hell? There’s so much white mediocrity that gets celebrated, and Black people, we have to be absolutely flawless to get half of [that] anyway. So, I’m slowly training myself out of that and being like, ‘No shit. You deserve love just for existing.’ And that has taught me to be a lot more loving as well, in a weird way.” NCUTI GATWA photographed by Melanie Lehmann for Attitude Magazine (May/June 2024)

which toe is the star of the foot? if you think it's the big toe, you're a showboating creep. if you think it's the pinky you're a grovelling pest. and if you think it's any of the three middle ones you're a paper-thin contrarian. no substance, no intellect. you're disgusting

Tonight me and my friend were walking out of a gas station and a dude walked out from behind a dumpster and was like “hiiiiiiiiiii” in a fag voice but then was like “I’m just fucking with you. Have a good night.” In a deep voice

i’m starting a collection
