I love how in Dune part 2, they made Chani literally the voice of Franks Herbert, deeply suspicious of governments, charismatic leaders and organized religion and prophecy, she has to watch all that she feared would shackle her people come to bind them with the chains held by the very person she trusted and loved and who promised her he didn’t want to be a leader, and then a bunch of guts on the Internet call Chani, “a stuck up, pouting, over dramatic teen,” Sir, that is your author avatar.
Man, the flesh sucks. I’m gonna abandon it for the machine.

I am, like, a long running proponent of the “eat something and you’ll feel better” crowd and am often one of the first people to suggest “maybe it’s time for a snack before I get whipped into a frenzy” but I really do resent how instantaneous it is. like it’ll feel like I’m having my worst day in months and then I’ll start eating and literally before I even finish I’m like oh yeah the world is beautiful
my middle aged client going off about kids these days and how they have such a different childhood and back in the day kids used to have real experiences like how she and her girl friends used to practice kissing on each other and now kids just sit in the same room in silence on their damn phones. hey ma'am run that back real quick
