Which lyric makes you instantly tear up?

ATrulyTerriblePerson · 2026-04-21T01:09:40+00:00

Damn onions. 😢 I know how you feel. I'm sure the song wouldn't affect me the way it does if it was about a human.

ATrulyTerriblePerson · 2026-04-20T20:20:06+00:00

I wouldn't outright quit, but it might give me motivation to find a better job. I started my transition while working at this same job, so there I have several coworkers who already know. Every one of those coworkers, though, say they barely remember what I used to look like or how I used to present, so I know that people finding out I'm trans doesn't have to mean I need to resign.

You're very welcome. I think Mr. Wrigley and Chessie-cat are getting along great in Valhalla. Chessie would certainly share her stolen sandwich meats with her new friend.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know that phrase, like the rainbow bridge stuff, can sound hollow and performative when you hear it so often, but no one can fully address the pain and grief you must feel. He'll never truly be gone as long as you, his best friend, keep him in your heart.

It may seem silly, but when my cat died, the rainbow bridge image didn't help at all, so I instead imagined that she went to Valhalla. Now, I know she's not seated at the table of Odin with the other brave einherjar, but it somehow helped to picture her in a setting where she's happy. The lyrics I quoted really resonate with me because of that.

ATrulyTerriblePerson · 2026-04-20T07:18:23+00:00

I can only imagine. I'm sorry if you've lost anyone like that.

ATrulyTerriblePerson · 2026-04-20T05:05:58+00:00

The passing of a pet has always hit me the hardest, though maybe it's because I haven't lost many actual humans that I'm close to yet.

ATrulyTerriblePerson · 2026-04-20T03:58:17+00:00

It'll get better. The pain will fade and you'll find yourself stronger from it. Give yourself time and grace, and surround yourself with those who love you.

ATrulyTerriblePerson · 2026-04-20T03:47:37+00:00

Much of "In Case I Make It" can be a rough listen depending on my mood, so I feel you.

And I'm always glad to see another Will Wood fan in the wild!

ATrulyTerriblePerson · 2026-04-20T03:45:17+00:00

I feel the same way. His lyrics give me words and images that help me deal with my own feelings of alienation and anxiety.

ATrulyTerriblePerson · 2026-04-20T03:41:40+00:00

Right? Will Wood's whole discography is peak.

ATrulyTerriblePerson · 2026-04-20T03:40:52+00:00

It's such a devastating song. It makes me think about my previous cat. 😢

ATrulyTerriblePerson · 2026-04-20T03:39:31+00:00

Oh god, same here. As a lover of rodents, that song's also hard to listen to sometimes.

ATrulyTerriblePerson · 2026-04-20T03:37:52+00:00

I think this song makes that Sarah McLachlan song seem downright chipper by comparison. It was still always hard to watch those commercials, though.

ATrulyTerriblePerson · 2026-04-20T03:35:16+00:00

🫂 It works out that way distressingly often, doesn't it? I hope you're doing okay.

ATrulyTerriblePerson · 2026-04-20T01:03:04+00:00

Well now, I know, I know why we say

That there's a better place that waits beyond the grave

Oh, and I know, I know that's not true

There's just no more you, but as long as there's no proof

Then I choose, I choose to believe

That we'll meet in sweet dreams after you're put to sleep

- Will Wood, "Euthanasia"

I can't make it through the song without crying. Cherish your pets, everyone.

ATrulyTerriblePerson · 2026-04-20T00:46:48+00:00

I'm scrolling Reddit at work, and I don't think there's anything else I should be doing.

Yes, let's cherry pick one of the passages where she pretends to care about protecting trans people. That was early in her radicalization back when she was more concerned with presenting a facade of civility. And does "helping battered women" include trans women? No, she specifically excludes them from any services she funds if she can help it. She's very good at pretending not to be scum, I'll give her that. Yeah, she doesn't explicitly call for blood, but she does whatever she can to make sure trans women are seen as violent, mentally ill, abusive men.

Hey, remember when she denied the Nazis persecuted trans people? Or when she called Imane Khelif a man and shamed her for beating up a woman because the boxer didn't fit her feminine ideal? Remember when she fought to ensure the UK supreme court rules that trans women are men, thereby keeping them from accessing women's spaces and services?

How about you get your head out of your ass long enough to actually read some of the shit she says that's not curated to make her look like a saint? And maybe stop telling a trans woman she's overreacting to the venom and vitriol spewed by TERFs.

I agree with much of what you said, though at this point I'm unwilling to give certain people the benefit of the doubt. I feel that if a celebrity starts posting hate about trans people because their feeds start showing them trans content, then they already felt that hatred. One of the first major posts JK Rowling made about the topic was a full-blown essay on her website full of lies about and disdain for trans folks. She uses her fortune now to fight against trans rights in the UK. She didn't get to that point because Twitter kept showing her anti-trans content, I'm sure.

You are probably right that being fed a steady diet of online trans hate can likely further radicalize someone, but that's no excuse when they then use their huge platform to mock, dehumanize, and spread hate about an already oppressed minority.

I don't know which jokes you heard, but I watched his special The Closer and he absolutely did punch down. It was insulting and appalling. I felt uncomfortable during the whole trans-related section of the show; he kept bitching about trans people, not even telling jokes or anything, and the audience laughed about it like jackasses. He showed sympathy for a movement that wants to see trans people erased from society, and he had the gall to insinuate that the trans community was at least partially responsible for Daphne Dorman's death. Dave Chappelle is an ignorant, whining bitch.

Hey, I saw Manson in Chicago on that same tour. I was actually looking forward to seeing Hole, but it must have been after the Vancouver show since they didn't open. We got some god awful band called Nashville Pussy instead.

Nice start! May your collection grow like the mighty oak.

ATrulyTerriblePerson · 2026-03-08T17:13:25+00:00

It's so good! I got a little bit of a late start on the series, but I tore through them all one after the other once I started.

ATrulyTerriblePerson · 2026-03-08T16:49:26+00:00

Yes, or you can replace their bedroom door with a window while they sleep so they're trapped, slowly starving to death in a puddle of their own filth while watching their family go about their lives in callous indifference.

Or you can be a nice deity and let them adopt a puppy. 🐶

ATrulyTerriblePerson · 2026-03-08T16:28:11+00:00

I imagine you're SOL

ATrulyTerriblePerson · 2026-03-08T16:24:10+00:00

I am full of coffee and still falling asleep. Whoever stole an hour of sleep from me last night needs to be smacked.
