This is such a cool fucking point. I knew the Tumblr braintrust was the right place for this question
what we really need to drill down on here is whether or not an octopus is intelligent enough to consent to a sexual encounter
and if not how can we change that

Thank you, God, this is the kind of conversation we need. Yes. Exactly. How do we communicate that, as a species, we are down, in a way that ensures they are capable of understanding what is being offered on an intellectual level and not purely as a matter of rote animal instinct, and the offer is made in a way that respects the octopus's autonomy and consent?
I don't even want to fuck an octopus I just look at all the art and literature our species has produced that involves octopi in intimate scenarios and think, you know, this is one species that might actually be smart enough for this to cross the line from bestiality (not great) to xenophilia (cool and understandable). How can we make this happen for the freaks

Innokenti & Tomassin - The Wyld-Knight & The Sparrow Priest
Weary Innokenti, knight of the Wood, marauder, carouser, apostate faerie-thing:
Unhappy Tomassin, half-heavenly mistake, defiled, tormented, gentle beyond all measuring:
Poisoned by grief, bereft of your God and your Other, and denied the sacred order which was promised to you at the moment of your creation:
Struck silent by horror, unwanted by God, harrowed and abused and brought into this world to die:
Self-exiled from your home, to this alien place -
Chained to your flesh, in this alien place -
So hopeless, so desolate, so interminable is your existence:
So hopeless - so desolate - so interminable is your existence -
Perhaps, now, unexpectedly, like sunlight breaking through the brooding trees -
Perhaps, somehow, however undeserving you may be -
A kindness?
A mercy?
Soft footsteps have intruded upon the barren country of your heart, and around his feet the flowers grow.
Clever footfalls are heard within the empty cathedral of your heart, and it makes you wonder if it's anything like music.
He is nothing like you.
He is nothing like you: thank God.
You take his hand.
May God forgive you, as you let him take your hand.

I’m so sorry you are going through this. You are one of the most talented people I’ve come across online and I sincerely hope this ordeal for you ends real soon. Your blog and your stories have once created something beautiful and magical, and I wish that magic could be with you too, to make you feel a bit better. 💕
This is such a sweet message! Thank you so much for thinking of me. Today is my last day of radiation, so I'm feeling pretty good!
After the absolute dogshit of getting cancer in the first place, the news has been consistently very good. I'm going to still be taking oncology drugs for at least the next five years, and those come with a huge list of side effects, so it's not going to be "over" for a long time - if ever. But I'm looking at a 4% chance of recurrence over the next ten years. I like those odds.

They're just there to make the house look sexier! They don't do anything! They are coyly gesturing towards a utilitarian function that they no longer possess
Shutters are just house lingerie

Can't believe I'm going to miss the eclipse because I have to go to radiation. Radiation might protect me from cancer but God's Holy radiation which can only be seen in the shadow of his eye would protect me from ignorance and devils

The last time we were on a long flight, my wife and I invented a game we call "Little Guy."
You start a game of Little Guy by saying, "I'm gonna hand you a little guy." The little guy is some kind of baby animal you are imagining. "Oh," she might say in response, "Okay," and hold out her hands for it. I will then mime handing her the animal. This provides some clues as to the little guy's size, weight, and general ungainliness.
She then gets to ask questions about what kind of little guy this is, BUT NO QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS ACTUAL APPEARANCE OR SPECIES ARE ALLOWED. Qualitative questions, or questions about his behavior, are the only ones permitted. She can ask "Is he soft?" or "Does he seem nervous about being held?" or "If I put him in the bathtub, does he seem okay with that?" or "Would he like a lil grape?" or "Is he the sort of little fellow who would wear a vest in a children's book?" but not "Does he have fur," "Is he a reptile," "Is he from Asia," etc. Some questions are in a grey area so you have to follow your heart, but the point is not to identify the animal as fast as possible: the point is to guess the animal purely based on vibes + how he would act if he were in your living room right now.
And I'm not limited to yes or no answers! If she asks, "Would it feel appropriate to see this little guy in a propeller hat?" I can reply, "Oh no, he has a gravity to him. A bowler hat would be a more appropriate hat." Or if she asks, "Does this little guy have protagonist energy?" I can say something like, "he probably wouldn't be the main character in a children's cartoon. He'd probably be the main character's ditzy best friend who's always eating sandwiches, or something."
We're big Twenty Questions to kill time in a waiting room people, but Little Guy is more about the journey than the destination. It's got a different kind of sauce that's nice if "killing time" and "lowering anxiety" need to happen hand in hand.
