          “Them fucks who laze about ain’t died, just napping. One of those ‘the fuck time is it?’ naps which feel fucking strange.”

          There you go, that’s a Fooie original for you. And I’m not a piece of shit. Though I was a piece of shit. Sloppy steaks and all.

          Very likely schizotypal, definitely severe social anxiety, a fuckton of phobias, upbringing and class context which was racist AF but still he managed to have good “salt of the earth” black characters in his stories. That is, he imagined black people, with agency and everything, whom he was not terrified of, that’s not being a piece of shit that’s conscience and hope shining through more existential terror than you can imagine. Hard enough to find rapport with people when you’re schizotypal in the first place (you inevitably, in search for actual connection, start talking to their subconsciousness which often ends in a barrage of projection), doubly and triply so when you’re caught up in upper-class ritual.

          So, kindly, fuck off with your normie judgements building the exact barriers that cause the persistence of problems you’re judging others for not solving.

      Fun fact, global climate change is actually changing the temperature ranges that many fungus can exist in. Last of Us probably won’t come to pass because the cordyceps fungus evolved to zombify ants and other insects that it existed alongside with over millions of years, and we haven’t had any kind of constant contact with a similar fungus strain, so the chances of it being able to interact with our physiology is really, really remote.

      But we can absolutely get really harsh strains of Valley Fever in areas where the infectious fungus doesn’t usually exist, and fungal infections are incredibly hard to treat.
