Edit: I'm mixing it up. Gosh darn it.

It's being weird for me. Let me just edit:
The Xeelee Sequence, don't get it confused with All Tomorrows.
Edit: woops, wrong book. What book was it?
Like a certain alien species from The Xeelee Sequence?
Edit: woops wrong series. Does anyone know another series with an advanced alien civilization that sends themselves back in time to give birth to themselves? It's right before the heat death of the universe due to another alien species that lives in stars.
They stopped paying out for that after Sleepify in 2014.
What the fuck is he not going to say at this point. His mouth is a spewing fountain of fake-poor scented diarrhea. Populist my ass.
He's made so many incoherent open threats, he now sounds like someone who's drunk who's about to lose a fight.
They're definitely waning, I agree. They're still around, though. I still go there every once in a while for cheap, body safe jewelry and band t-shirts.
Hot Topic and Spencer's are both still running. Also, there's Dolls Kill in LAX.
Also, get a seasonal job as a scare actor. I helped run a haunt, and goth girls were honestly our backbone.
Makes me want to re-watch Isle of Dogs
I'm down, but it would require reintegration into the shit stain that is organized religion. This is also coming from an ex minister. Once you're behind that pulpit, your words are law. Getting into that place where a large congregation would actually listen to you would most likely require some moral compromises.
Are you queer? You are irrelevant.
Are you not white? You are irrelevant.
Are you sexualy active? You are irrelevant.
Are you pregnant? You are irrelevant.
Are you compassionate? You are irrelevant.
Your job is to interpret the Bible in a way that people enjoy. You reinforce their ideals. I have no idea how to pull everyone I knew into a 180°.
How do you propose we change these brainwashed peoples' minds? If you have legitimate theory, I'm listening. All I can think of is showing up to church and talking to people, but it SUCKS there.
One example:
"ABORTION IS MURDER"
"It can't think yet"
"IT HAS A SOUL"
How do I respond to that? What can I possibly tell a person that's that nieve that they're being sexist?
I witnessed people use their time to speak against the church while they were on stage. They get pulled off and disappeared (not killed, blacklisted). A lot of the people there are dependent on the church, so they can't speak up. So even if you have the stage, you maybe have 5 minutes. Change the world. Go for it. This is coming from the experience of an ex minister at the Salvation Army.
