When I walk into the mall and see Christmas decorations up the day after Halloween, I feel the same way Hamlet did when his mom married his annoying uncle so shortly after his father’s death.

This Richard Dawkins tweet is like. an evergreen source of humor but it also sounds 100% like something from Seneca’s Moral Letters
Seneca Lucilio suo salutem-
priore nocte vidi virum humillimum, sine domo. Scripserat non “cibum mihi necesse est”, non “laborem mihi necesse est”, sed “opimam puellam mihi necesse est.” Quid factum sit?
Vale.

“You’re not a lady, you’re nothing but a sister.” “I’ll show you if I’m a lady or not.”
Ghosts: *arguing over whose turn it is to answer the ouija*
That would explain why it takes so long to get answers and why it makes no sense.
Me: what is your name?
Thingie u hold: * begrudgingly slides to “no” *
Me: wtf
Mom said it’s my turn on the planchette
*hears call from the living*
*stares at it until it stops*
