before i had gotten close with ex-catholics i was under the assumption that “catholic guilt” was mostly about sex, or serious topics.
but i was naïve. it’s apparently about every positive experience. enjoying a meal? you’re so lucky, children are starving. spending your day off cosy in bed? wow, so selfish, homeless people are freezing to death.
every former or present catholic i’ve met has a very obvious anxiety disorder and it’s so painfully not a coincidence.
can you please come pick up your kinnie boyfriend he’s had one bottle of smirnoff ice and won’t stop talking about how fucked up he is. he tried to put mother mother on the bluetooth speaker. if he stays here any longer i’m not getting any pussy tonight.
the speaker of this post: Aquarius, Leo, Aries, Scorpio the kinnie boyfriend: Pisces, Gemini, Virgo, Cancer the kinnie boyfriend’s partner coming to pick them up: Libra, Taurus, Capricorn, Sagittarius

Dear waysideshrine,
I am delighted to receive your response in the form of a letter. I regret to inform you that I am also a cancer.
Additionally, inheritance laws especially in English law used to be very strict about what wives and daughters could receive. Most of the property when a person died would go to a male heir even if that person left a wife or older daughter. This could even include the very house a woman was living in when her husband died. Cue Jane Austen and other writers of this era who discuss problems of women’s legal dependence. At certain times women could not hold land, houses, or bank accounts but they could take more personal property like jewelry or dresses. Women had to be conscious of the value of their clothing and jewelry because it could someday mean the difference between penniless or able to afford a place to live after your husband or father died.
This is also why Indians and Muslims give their daughters gold for their wedding. If anything happens and they need money, they can sell the gold.
The patriarchal lie of “oh women, and their vanity” when in reality it was just a symptom of a system that robbed and disenfranchised women.
someone: luke skywalker beat darth vader and ended the empire
everyone else in the galaxy:
everyone on tatooine:
Imagine being the local jock from Toshe Station and turning on the news to learn that the guy you called “Wormie” in desert high school just killed the two most powerful people in the galaxy.

#I think a lot about this #like the guy was a weird excitable nerd
#but you had to tolerate him because #INEXPLICABLY #he was STUPID good as a pilot #like the t-16 orbital drop whomp rat champion since he was 13 #so you couldn’t just IGNORE him and his fucking nerdery #and his being super awkward CONSTANTLY
#and one day his farm is burned and his family is dead #you assume he’s dead too and you feel kind of bad for mocking him now
#but then #space radio is like LUKE SKYWALKER BLEW UP A SPACE STATION #LUKE SKYWALKER KILLED THE EMPEROR
#and you just #kind hope he never decides to get revenge for the wormie thing
oh also turns out he came back to town and killed the mob boss who controlled everything and then left again without buzzing any of his former acquaintance so probably you’re Beneath his Notice; mixed feelings about that
yes, you’re correct, this takes place at tatooine high school
Weird to think both Greedo and Darth Vader went to Tatooine High School.
Vader did not go to Tatooine High School he went to Magic Lasersword Catholic School when he was nine and then trashed the place
I haven’t ever changed who I am. I’ve just gotten more accepting of it. Being happy isn’t getting what you want, it’s wanting what you have. - Carrie Fisher
The only situation where I would want to be stuck in a bunker with Romney and Cruz is where I can see the little Mormon Francophile scream at the zodiac killer
We really don’t talk enough about how Artoo went into the desert to find Obi-Wan because no kid would be stupid enough to follow him into Tusken territory and then this kid chases him down and gets beaten up and his unconscious body is dragged back to his landspeeder and Artoo looked down and went “This one. This one knows how to have a good time.”
