You try so hard to love and protect when the only language you’ve known is rage and damage.
Pyramid tomb
Mini pyramid tomb at Deir el-Medina: “The Workers” Village on the West Thebes. Deir el-Medina was the home of the artists, craftsmen, and workers who built, and ornamented the royal and private tombs of the Kings and Queens of Egypt.
You wanted a hit
But maybe we don’t do hits
I try and try
It ends up feeling kind of wrong
You wanted it tough
But is it ever tough enough?
No, nothing’s ever tough enough
Until we hit the road
Yeah, you wanted it lush
But honestly, you must hush
No, honestly, you know too much
So leave us, leave us on our own
And so you wanted a hit
Well this is how we do hits
You wanted a hit
But that’s not what we do
You wanted it real
But can you tell me what’s real?
There’s lights and sounds and stories
Music’s just a part
Yeah, you wanted the truth
And then you said you want proof
I guess you’re used to liars
Saying what they want
And we won’t be your babies anymore
We won’t be your babies anymore
We won’t be your babies ‘til you take us home
No, we won’t be your babies anymore
We won’t be your babies anymore
We can’t be your babies 'til you take us home
Yeah you wanted it smart
But honestly, I’m not smart
No, honestly, we’re never smart
We fake it, fake it all the time
Yeah you wanted the time
But maybe I can’t do time
Oh we both know that’s an awful line
But it doesn’t make it wrong
You wanted it right
No out of mind and out of sight
No dirty bus and early flight
No seven days and forty nights
Yeah you wanted a hit
But tell me, where’s the poignant?
You wanted a hit
But that’s not what we do
And we won’t be your babies anymore
We won’t be your babies anymore
We won’t be your babies 'til you take us home

Unpopular Opinion # 102040
You know everybody was slamming Netflix’s Big Mouth for how ugly it is, and yeah its really ugly…BUT. Its also one of the few shows about sex I’ve seen talk openly about-
1. Female Sexuality and how it exists.
2. How women experience arousal in different ways than men including through literature/smells/ideas/experiences.
3. How periods work and how the vagina works (through song and Kristen Wiig respectively)
4.How both women and men can initiate unwelcome sexual contact
5. THE IMPORTANCE OF CONSENT
6. There was a whole section of one episode about calling out an abuser on his behavior and being supported by others (including men) and not being slut shamed.
7. That being gay is OK and sometimes you are unsure of your orientation and that’s OK too because its on a spectrum.
8.How the body feels gross during puberty and there’s nothing wrong with that.
The show is clearly aimed at a younger (middle school to high school) audience and despite its gross out humor and weird out of touch Seinfeld jokes I think its oddly educational and I’m kinda glad it was made.
Also I could watch Maya Rudolph be the Hormone Monstress forever. She legit made me laugh a few times. Thanks Maya.
