  Imagine eating an apple, knowing a doctor will be homeless because of you

    Not my therapist reminding me every time I see them that it’s okay not to feel guilt while my brain flashes images of Mary crying blood.

  I should not have just sat here and wasted 35 minutes reading news stories and looking at memes on Lemmy while I pick and choose the ones I decide to bestow with the wisdom, or lack thereof, of my words. But this one? This one speaks to my soul. Like the slow chitter chatter of cold katydids on a cool fall night in the middle of September in the Southern part of the USA. Chit-chit cha-chit chit-cha-ah-ah.

  wait but the problem they always say we have is that we are too impulsive and just keep doing things that give us instant gratification instead of things that are good for our future… so how does that square with the background radiation feeling of being so anxious that things that make us feel instant pleasure also make us feel guilt?

  hmmm

  looks at the concept of “instant gratification” with a skeptical squint of a lone cowboy in a standoff

  “I have beef with you Instant Gratification, but today is not the day, but I am swear I am going to make consequences come for you soon, any day now. Maybe tomorrow I think I just have some other things I need to do, I have been meaning to do it so that means I will. you can rest assured about that.”

    Furry here - I have a profound sense of existential ambivalence. I still believe that a tail is like a necktie for your butt.

  I went wow and thought that was elegant stippling on the possum but I zoomed in and saw it was JPEG
