Yes! Truth is truth is truth! Whenever I hear someone “living their truth” I roll my eyes so hard that I pity my ophthalmologist. Truth is elusive and I respect that people can experience the same event and draw meaning from it differently. But what happened is what happened. So what I’m saying is that the maggots were in rare form today.
Relax. You have no pain receptors in your brain, so whatever it is you think you feel happening in there is just your imagination. Of course, that doesn't mean there's nothing happening, just that you wouldn't feel any effects just yet even if there was. Is that reassuring? My job here is done.
What about the gnat's truth? All it wanted to do was whisper something romantic in your ear and you drowned it in oil.
I loved that one. Post modernism has to go. It's tiresome, self-absorbed and fundamentally unserious. That's what Substack's for.
Well my sister tried to advocate for the gnat, but I was having none if it! Agree, postmodernism is silly. And deeply, deeply boring.
Great post. Loved it.
Thank you!
Never would have guessed this went down to the wire. This was fine.
Thanks. I didn't have time to make it do what I wanted. But I made a pact to post every week!
You at least made it do a lot. Definitely worth a re-read.

Haha thanks on behalf of the maggots!

Thanks. I'm deeply disturbed on many levels.
