An existential sketch I’d like to paint if I could find the time
Hey, if Cecilsweep is making you consider to get back into Night Vale (which I strongly recommend, it’s fantastic), but you don’t feel like listening to several years worth of content, I suggest you to start with episode 210 - Ten Years Later.
It’s a redo of Episode 1, but with every single difference and development that happened in these ten years. It’s an excellent way to mostly catch up, as well is the beggining of the current arc. After that, we’re currently in Episode 220, so you won’t have to listen to that much to be caught up.
(Also, Night Vale has official transcripts now! They’re linked in the official website)
Can I watch a great film knowing the actresses in it were terrorized and mistreated the entire time? Can I watch a football game knowing that the players are getting brain injuries right before my eyes? Can I listen to my favorite albums anymore knowing that the singers were all beating their wives in between studio sessions? Can I eat at the new fancy taco place knowing when the building that used to be there got bulldozed eight families got kicked out of their homes so they could be replaced with condos and a chain restaurant? Can I wear the affordable clothes I bought downtown that were probably assembled in a sweatshop with child labor? Can I eat quinoa? Can I eat this burger? Can I drink this bottled water? Can I buy a car and drive to work because I’m sick of taking an hour each way on the subway? Whose bones do I stand on? Whose bones am I standing on right now?
dream girl or worst nightmare?

What's that poem about the cockroach and the moth where the cockroach is like "I wish I've ever wanted anything the way that moth wanted to burn itself up in that lantern" because we had to read that in high school and it still fucks me up to this day
