dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

They say you get a moment where the pain caused by your body fighting to stay alive goes away. It’s not that it becomes painless, but the body really struggles as it fights and it manifests as shaking, fevers, sweating, coughing, your body is trying to wring you out like a dishrag. Those things go away.

The yearning for these spaces to mirror that inner experience is a yearning for some kind of symmetry or sense or logic to the universe in a moment that your relationship to reality is tested: the exact moment you are asked to let go of it.

"They say" a lot of things about dying, but I've never heard someone who went through it say much. Except for our lord and savior, Jesus Christ. Do you have a moment to talk about the Lord? It could be worth a lifetime in heaven.
