immediately thought of this while watching episode 10
I was about to make a post about like… how my family has this lemon tree out front, and one of the funniest things about having a lemon tree is occasionally I’ll be out in front doing whatever and I’ll see someone walking past and quickly grab a lemon off the tree and stuff it in their pockets as quick as they can like they’re shoplifting.
I was about to make a post about how that’s funny and how, y’know people can have our lemons, it’s not a big deal because the tree pumps them out like gangbusters, but I really can’t make that post without thinking of… them…
I’ll admit it, OP. As soon as you mentioned your family had a lemon tree in their yard I wanted to ask you how they were dealing with the whore infestation.
I did this with a fig tree once while hungover as shit and on a walk of shame. Best damn figs I ever ate in my LIFE.
when i was a teenager in san diego i was an absolutely unrepentant orange thief. climbed a fence to reach a particularly good pomegranate too. scrumping is a noble tradition of whores stretching back centuries and i won’t hear a word against it
I understood what it meant from the context, but I had to look it up cuz no fucking way is that a real word. And
It is. Scrumping.

human hands are not made for killing or hurting other humans. we are one of the only species on this planet that knows how to revive other members of our own species from near death- our hands were made to perform CPR, to hold and carry our young, sick, injured and elderly, to carry injured and sick humans to safety, to cradle and cup and hold injuries and support them while they heal, to bring water and medicine, cold or heat. we have to stop spreading the lies that we “need” to kill one another over race, assigned sex, gender, religion, monetary worth, housing status, drug use and any other benign behavior. these hands were not made to harm other humans; our hands were made to heal other humans.
before technology, before cultivation, before we knew what the stars were or what shape our planet is, we loved each other. we helped our sick, our elderly, our infirm, even when we didn’t quite know how. there are ancient human bones, healed, only because someone thousands of years ago sat with their hurting friend and gently tended to their wound, hoping to see them walk again
what are we if not beings of love? the spirit of humanity is love and curiousity, of caring for each other when theres nothing to gain, of discovery and kindness and sharing this beautiful world together

The whole Polybius thing is my favourite conspiracy theory because nearly every individual element of the story is absolutely true, but not for that reason.
Did some early arcade games cause people to suffer hallucinations, memory loss, and short-term personality changes? Yes, they did – because many folks who played them were experiencing close range exposure to bright, rapidly flashing lights for the first time in their lives, and – at the time – public awareness of photosensitive epilepsy was practically nonexistent. Most who had it were undiagnosed, and its symptoms often weren’t recognised when they arose – and if you have no idea what photosensitive epilepsy is, those symptoms might look a lot like alien mind control!
Were early video arcades frequented by serious-looking men in dark suits? Again, yes they were – because they were suspected of being money-laundering fronts for illegal gambling rings, and thus were routinely placed under federal surveillance. And those suspicions weren’t unfounded – it later transpired that many early video arcades were, in fact, money-laundering fronts for illegal gambling rings.
Did arcade cabinets with strange titles and indecipherable gameplay quietly pop up in out-of-the-way places, then vanish shortly thereafter, never to be seen again? Absolutely – because a thriving black market in off-brand bootlegs arose almost immediately. Quality control was nonexistent, so many such cabinets had operational lifespans measured in weeks, and you’d most often see them in arcades with poor locations simply because they were cheap.
It was a perfect storm of largely unrelated factors that added up to the convincing appearance of a shadowy conspiracy, even though each element by itself had a fairly boring explanation.
While in the theater seeing “Madame Web” for a second time, I got to thinking how in a better, brighter universe, there would have been some kind of fast food tie-in promotion for this movie, with little Madame Web toys for children. Here, I have illustrated the concept as it exists in my heart, with both the toys and the box they would have come in. 🖤
