I just found out my helper friend housekeeper's mother is expected to pass within the next day or two and that sucks for me because I am really shitty at empathy.

I believe I just proved my point. I never know what to say, everything sounds stupid and fake. I was not a hugger pre-covid now I would rather open a kissing booth at a trump rally.

Hopefully she will just want to get drunk. That I can do.

somehow this came to my mind after not having heard it for years https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=wvLgDOvuWrA

and now i can’t get it out of my head because it’s so catchy

and unfortunately it’s slightly out of tune which makes playing along to it sound suboptimal

for those who don’t know it, The Show With The #Maus (1971-present) is an extremely popular jerman children’s tv series featuring „Lach- und Sachgeschichten“ (which wikipedia translates to the boring-sounding and not rhyming “Funny and Documentary Stories”; a more literal and faithful translation would be something like “stories to laugh and learn” but it should rhyme but i can’t think of anything) that teach children things such as how whole milk is involved in the creation of holes in cheese

and the intro has a voiceover summarising what the episode will be about, and the intro is always shown once in german and then again in a different language, ending with the sentence “that was: $language”

such as here in the original #klingon featuring alexander zhenko of terra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHKZWU2oA9I

"You can't have gay Klingons!", shout the dumberatti from the sidelines, having never realised that Star Trek was always a show about wokeness.

Huh? Huh? You want to say that a warrior culture would repress homosexuality when our own history shows us that warrior cultures in our past embraced it?

How about this take on one of our favourite fictional races: maybe to a Klingon, it would be an act entirely without honour to deny someone the right to become a fully fledged member of their society, just based on who and how they loved.

Maybe in Klingon society anyone who discriminates against someone just because they're gay is likely to get ostracised or challenged to a duel to the death.

Maybe Klingons believe that who you love doesn't change whether you can fight or not, and they'd look at human history of discrimination against LGBTI folk as one of the worst forms of dishonour imaginable.
