  • I dunno about harder, but this is absolutely a thing that is very rarely discussed.

    I have a friend who is very conventionally attractive and the stories I hear about the way people treat them absolutely blows my mind. The out of pocket things people think they’re entitled to say, from passersby on the street to medical professionals, the way they are literally predated upon, it’s vile.

    Sure, they get the benefits of being hot, it’s a social lubricant for sure, but what they go through because of it sounds utterly exhausting.

    They’re wildly intelligent and absurdly hardworking to boot. But people don’t take them as seriously as they should because all some people see is the flesh they’re contained in. That particular issue affects both the conventionally attractive and the non-. Our society seems too obsessed with looks on the whole, to our collective detriment.



  • Go to a farm. Take a hay ride. Wander through the pumpkin patch with your friends and loved ones. Ponder what you’ll carve as you pick the perfect shape to match. Laugh at the oddly shaped gourds. Take some freshly pressed cider home with you and enjoy it cold, mulled with spices, spiked or any combination of those as you carve the pumpkin.

    These events mark the time of year and form memories with those you share them with. This is culture.


  • It isn’t bro’s fault that capitalism ruined the joy of the fall harvest activities. The store feels bereft of life and joy because it is. The pumpkin patch has been commodified because the farmers need to get every dollar they can to compete against the capital of larger farms.

    Bro just wanted to partake in his local community and enjoy the changing seasons. Even if it’s not as good, you’ll make memories at the pumpkin patch.

    The store is just a store.
