At this point, every round mammal is a hamster to me.

I think we both have different definitions of what mammal is but I can’t say I disagree with you.

52 blue: this individual whale’s call is the only one of its kind—the whale whose call is never answered

This is what language is:
a habitable grief. A turn of speech
for the everyday and ordinary abrasion
of losses such as this

which hurts
just enough to be a scar.

And heals just enough to be a nation.

Hannibal Lecter:

good news, i love you anyway. all the little mess and fuss of you. all the freckles and the stray hairs and uneven smile. i love your laugh and your sigh and the way you sing along to the radio. it's all lovable. it feels so good to love you.

Like most people don’t like to admit this, but one of the reasons a lot of us have so many mental health issues is because we live in a world that has basically become untenable. People can’t afford basic necessities, let alone to cultivate their interests or take breaks and rest or do any of the things necessary for good mental health. People my age are wracked with debt, working at jobs they hate or studying topics they hate, living in a shitty apartment with five roommates. We live in a world that’s very hard to be healthy in. So while yeah, a lot of people obviously do have mental illnesses that would need medication no matter what, they are greatly exacerbated by these issues, and a lot of people have basically just been thrust into an eternal situational depression. So if that doesn’t change, medication is just a band-aid.
