Can’t believe he’s gone

A game invented by a brother and sister on December 25th 2016. It was a long holiday week of drinking. And to hear the sister tell it, when news broke of George Michael’s death, the brother (37 years old at the time) was crying into his Christmas roast, repeating “can’t believe he’s gone”.

So now, when a mutually important celebrity dies, the brother and sister race to text the other one and break the news.

There’s been talk of a point system but it hasn’t yet materialized.

AP: Pope Francis has died of unknown causes.

Text: Can’t believe he’s gone.

Reply: That’s a big one.

Can’t Believe He’s Gone

A game invented by a brother and sister on December 25th 2016. It was a long holiday week of drinking. To hear the sister tell it, when news of George Michael’s death broke that evening, the brother was seen crying into his Christmas roast, repeating the phrase “can’t believe he’s gone”.

In its current form, the game consists of racing to inform the other first when a mutually-important celebrity dies.

There’s been talk of a point system, but one hasn’t yet materialized.

AP: This just in, Pope Francis has died of unknown causes.

Text: Can’t believe he’s gone!

Reply: Who? I didn’t see anything. Oh now I do. That’s a big one.

church hurt

church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.

Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.

Huge. Surpassing normal expectations.

I was fishing with a Spinner Bait and a HONKIN pike came after it and hit it . Felt like a lawnmower running over a brick.

Stealthie

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.

FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"

Grindset

The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.

“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
