Aging is *literally* the process of your body breaking down like an ancient and damaged machine. It’s the epitome of the REAL definition of “degeneration” and people act like it’s some sort of “beautiful natural process” no bitch it’s literally a disease. It’s a built-in kill switch your body has and science has proven this kill switch can be turned off with the right treatments.
Same goes for death itself. “Natural” body death can also be stopped with the right treatments - in fact, there’s a lot of overlap between anti-aging treatments that could exist in the next couple decades and the anti-death treatments that could show up in a similar amount of time.
Ok I guess. But it happens to everyone, it’s inevitable, and trying to stop it only cause self-hate. Might as well embrace it

Thank you all for a fantastic post-reading experience, wasn’t expecting to see someone saying “kys” in reply to being told humans are mortal
IM LOSING MY FUCKING MIND WHAT IS THIS??????????????????????????????????????????
Many young wizards have taken to transmuting swans into humans and marrying them. One day, you are lucky enough to find a swan in the wild, and without hesitating, you turn it into a beautiful lady. Unfortunately, that ‘swan’, was a goose. You have just given a goose a human form.
After I explained the mistake, she laughed uproariously.
“You’re damn lucky I’m not a swan!” she said, wiping tears from her eyes. “They get by on their reputation for being pretty and graceful, but buddy, a swan ain’t nothing but a bigger, meaner goose. What do you all want swan wives for anyway?”
I opened my mouth and then shut it again. Honestly, I hadn’t actually stopped to think about that much. It had become a mark of status, having a demure, graceful woman following on your arm, always dressed in white and gazing soulfully about.
“They all seem very nice,” I said finally.
She pursed her lips thoughtfully as she finished pulling on the robes I’d brought with me. “Then there’s something else going on,” she said. “I’ve met my share of swans and not a one of them would put up with that shit. Are you sure they were swans to begin with?”
“Well, no, now that you mention it. I mean, everyone says that’s what they are, but I’ve never actually seen anyone else do it.”
“Do they talk? Act like humans? Do they seem intelligent?”
“Well, they are humans, so I suppose they must be, right?” This conversation was not going the way I had expected it to.
“Hah! Fat chance. Transmutation is just changing the shape of a thing. You turn a swan into a human and all you’ve done is put a swan mind in a human-shaped box. Wouldn’t do a wizard much good to be able to turn into a wolf or whatever if they suddenly only had a wolf’s brain to work with, would it?”
“So, you’re saying that if those women were swans originally, they’d still act like swans?”
“Hoo boy yeah,” she said. “Absolutely. Hissing, biting people, trying to build nests, shitting everywhere. The works.”
“Wait, but what about you?” I asked, desperately trying to get the conversation back on track. “You seem like a human, but you were a goose ten minutes ago.”
She grinned wickedly at me.
“I was shaped like a goose ten minutes ago,” she said. “And I appreciate the makeover. But I wasn’t a goose to begin with. Now come on. There’s something hella creepy going on around here, and we’re gonna figure out what.”
She started walking back up the path towards town.
“Wait!” I shouted, hurrying after her, “If you weren’t a goose, then what are you? And what’s your name?”
“You can call me Gwydd,” she said. “And as for what I am, it’s a long story. I’ll tell you some day. But first, you’re going to tell me everything you know about these swan ladies.”
This minecraft short comic called “A strange Coast” made by Ian Flynn I believe, I found in a book from my library I work has to be one of the most beautiful and respectful takes on the game.
It understands minecradf so perfectly and doesn’t treat it as childishly as the other stories in it did.
the entire article is fantastic. my favorite part:
Her other major objection to the way the Holocaust is framed – part of a larger critique – are the efforts to universalize Hitler’s victims, which she sees as a form of eliminating Jewish and Yiddish religion culture from the narrative. This ranges from Anne Frank to “Daniel,” the fictional hero of “Remember the Children: Daniel’s Story,” the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum’s children’s exhibition about a Jewish boy in Nazi Germany. Horn takes issue with the need to portray Jews who suffered and died in the Holocaust as being similar to the people viewing the exhibition. Avoided is the fact that so many of them lived visibly Jewish lives.
Why, she asks, did the experts who put the exhibit together choose soccer trophies and Daniel’s father’s war medals to display on his bedroom wall instead of his Jewish study books or Zionist scout uniform?
“Because the people who died in the Holocaust weren’t all just like you and me. Actually, a lot of people who died were [ultra-Orthodox] Hasidim. So is the message that it would be okay to murder them because they weren’t like you and me? If they have different clothes and different hairstyles, is it then totally fine to murder them? … Why do we care about how these people died if we really aren’t interested in how they lived?” she asks.
“The project of the Holocaust was to erase a civilization,” she continues. ”So why are we participating in that by also doing that? We’re not valuing the civilization that was destroyed – and maybe part of the problem was that nobody at the time valued the civilization that was destroyed either.”
Instead of educating against bigotry by pushing a line of “everybody is really the same,” she believes “the goal should be to encourage curiosity about, you know, different ways of being in the world.”
Another irritant for Horn is the argument that antisemitism must be confronted because Jews are canaries in the coal mine, and a society plagued by Jew hatred is clearly heading toward intolerance, hate and Nazi-style fascism. It irks her most when it’s Jews who are making that case.
“How degrading it is to yourself to make that argument, the whole ‘first they came for the Jews’ idea,’” she says. “You’re forced to erase and denigrate yourself in order to gain some kind of public empathy. Because then what you’re saying is that we should all care when Jews are murdered and maimed because, you know, it might be an ominous sign that real people might later get attacked.”
