Consider This: Sometimes, the Most Effective Arguments Have No Words
The eyewitnesses who saw Jesus provided evidence about who he was. When you look closely at what they said, it makes a pretty compelling case. “For consider him [Jesus] that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.” (Hebrews 12:3 KJV) The uniqueness of Jesus is often overlooked, believe it or not. His parables and teachings have a timeless…

Watched a peacock and a crow yell at each other for over five minutes about who had the rights to the telephone pole this morning. Seems symbolic in some way.

I can’t
Paul is supposed to visit on the weekends. He wants visitation with Illyan, but because he hasn’t arranged his place to his liking and, according to him, had no food there, he came to visit Illyan at my house. Why do I sign up for this? It’s like subjecting myself to willful torture. I know why. I love my son. Plus, Paul doesn’t show up like a jerk at first. He appears calm, respectful, even…

Donald Trump’s Iran Playbook: Unpacking the Evolving Case for Conflict
Only a few months back, the US President, Donald Trump, asserted that Iran’s nuclear endeavor had been “wiped out.” However, this very week, he informed the US Legislature that his desired approach was to “resolve this predicament through negotiation.”
Moreover, just yesterday evening, he communicated to journalists in Washington that despite his lack of “enthusiasm” for Iran’s refusal to yield…

i don’t like arguments in general but i find it so hard when i’m in an argument and i know i’m wrong. like i know i fucked up and i’m a horrible person. what now? literally what am i meant to do. apologising isn’t helpful, no matter how much i do it.

a collapsed star
i was the sun made incarnate

pearls dripping with red wine

how you’d demanded this of me
if i was to earn your love
then i would first need to burn
the day you took my hand
entangled it in your bracken blest
i knew i wanted forever like this
when i was klept in awe of you
when sang you into my clenched fist

BIG RANT AND SLIGHT VENT!!
slight TW for being inappropriately touched (no details, just mentions.)
[[MORE]]dudes. Today I stood home from school and my friend texted me basically saying,
“[our friend] was upset today because me, [acquaintance 1] and [acquaintance 2] were talking about the halftime show and other artists, we started talking about Katseye and how us three don’t like them that much. I jokingly said that I was afraid [our friend] would kill me if I ever said that to her. (For context, that friend is a HUGE Katseye fan. It’s one of her favorite girl groups.) So [acquaintance 1] turned and yelled at her, ” KATSEYE SUCKS!“ (or something) and [our friend] got upset! She was whining (kinda) and talking quietly.. It was kind of irritating.”
and,
“oh and also [our friend #2] and [our friend] kept talking about [our old, mean friend who moved schools] and they wanted to ask if she was using us. ”
So. For the first one; it’s so irrelevant. [Acquaintance 1] shouldn’t have said that. It was rude of her, even if she was joking. I don’t mean to be that kinda person but imagine what [our friend] was going through? Must be kinda annoying to hear that, especially without context and without you asking.
For the second one, WE KNOW SHE WAS USING US! That girl hasn’t been at our school since October! The reason we know she was using us is because she literally posted it on her story. Plus, she wasn’t using [our friend] and [our friend #2]. She was using me (taking my food, money, making me buy her food, and asking for rides a lot ((which I didnt mind at all but knowing her intentions hurts a little.)) She also would touch us inappropriately and hit us for no reason. She wasn’t a good friend but I still love and miss her.) and the friend who sent me these messages (taking her food and yet again, touching her inappropriately and hitting her and yelling her.)
Just needed to rant. Stay kind, my lovelies.

It keeps popping in my head that the reason I lost a friend was because I got extremely upset…that they weren’t taking care of themself. I had expressed many times that the thing they were thinking of doing would be bad for them and their family. They did it anyway. I got upset and yelled that I was desperately afraid of the damage this could (and did) do to them. I know I could’ve handled it better, but of all the things people have dismissed my friendship for, this one is possibly the one that most confuses me.

Unpopular opinion: I believe that even if you have the best arguments, base your arguments of facts and have a good vocabulary as long as you dont have debate etiquette you’re not a good debater. Because debate is all about convincing people, so when you do things like interrupting people or raise your voice, you’re automatically creating this wall between you and the other person that makes it way harder for them to agree with you. Speaking from expierence as well. When someone does those things and might even add a thing anyone would find annoying, I become stubborn and don’t want to agree with them even if they’re factually correct. Because even tho you have proof to back you up I now refuse to give you the satisfaction of being right because you have pissed me off to my core.

Anyone else who really hates it when people bring up irrelevant things to hate on just cause they hate something/someone. For exampele people hating someone and talking about how ugly they are. Like I fucking hate Taylor Swift but you’ll never (except for a few specific lines) hear me coming for her music because it’s completely besides the point. It also just feels like people think admitting someone has a good quality that that brings down the validation of the original argument, to me going after irrelevant things makes you sound like a weak debater. Because at the end of the day debates are about facts which are sometimes slightly influence by the general idea of ‘good’.

I dont understand
I dont understand why you don’t understand why I don’t understand why you dont understand and
I yell, I scream my lungs out, my breath, my oxygen, my blood, my tissue, wrap them in grenades in hopes they penetrate your ear drums your cells your heart but you’re over there, behind the membrane, glass, can feel, can’t see, can’t understand, we speak a different language over here, and
we yell, we scream our atoms into the night sky, but the membrane is a mirror, and
I don’t understand why you don’t understand why I dont understand why you dont understand

Anger
Today, Paul was a jerk as usual, in the small ways, he jabs at me and my dignity or self-image. For years, Paul has said I don’t listen to him. His insistence that I don’t listen is what started me down the path of writing down every argument. I was trying to figure out if I missed anything he was saying in our arguments, so when the argument ensued, I was quietly adjusting my inner compass for…
