i am not particularly religious but the serenity prayer has always struck me as incredibly sage and powerful. there are variations on the wording but the general idea is: god grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change what i can, and the wisdom to know the difference. has gotten me through many tough days

i go to a little group therapy sesh every once in a while and they close every meeting with the prayer. i don't ever actually pray during it and i used to write it off as corny, but i'm sitting with it right now and it's just so sweet. there's so much that we just cannot change and it takes so much to accept that! be loving to yourself and honor the strength it takes to be! just to be!

for one thing, the critical enterprise is crucial to maintaining the intellectual and spiritual health of the arts, obviously. but for another thing: let you find pleasure in something i knee-jerkingly disapprove of? you thought! 😹 get that shit out of my sight. i am a marrow-level hater. the fire of sanctimonious disdain burns within me as though divinely ordained. i am not going to sit back and let you clap like a seal every time deadpool breaks the fourth wall. shame on you. oh, you refer to podcasters by their first name, like you know them? did you say dasha? i spit at your feet and laugh maliciously at your parasocial delusions. is that addison rae i hear? i am coming for the wire of your headphones with a pair of scissors. i can do this all day. i live for this. i don’t even need to believe what i’m saying or know what i’m talking about. this is my bread and butter, and i will not stop for as long as i live. mercy is no name i have ever known
