the insane experience of missing a fictional character . like you can always go back and reread the book , replay the game , rewatch the show or movie , you can always go back & see them , but you can never experience them & their story for the first time again . its absurd to miss them because they’ll always be there , but you’ll miss when there were still new things for them to say .
for a small time they were real & growing and changing and you hung onto every new word, but now all they can do is repeat the same story forever&ever & they’re not real anymore because you know everything they’re going to do. & you miss them. its fucked man…
Luigi Mangione has been locked up since December 2024, and he’s been met with nothing but the violation of his rights every step of the way. Luigi’s right to be treated humanely is constantly violated, as is his right to the presumption of innocence and a fair trial. Evidence is not being provided to his legal team, and he’s being treated with prejudice by law enforcement.
Luigi is not a handsome face and a few jokes online. He is a real human being with real pain and real health issues. Luigi is a young man fighting for his life and the media is doing nothing but trying to sexualize him and make light of his situation.
Luigi has already lost so much to this, and although he remains resilient, it’s important to remember that his circumstances can’t possibly be good. It’s also important to remember that if they can do it to Luigi, they can do it to more people, to your loved one, to you.
So please, keep talking about Luigi. Keep standing by Luigi. Keep supporting Luigi.

the thing is that childhood doesn’t just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it’s going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it’s going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you’ve suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself
Referred to as “the
Dusseldorf patient” to protect his privacy, researchers said he is the
fifth confirmed case of an HIV cure. Although the details of his
successful treatment were first announced at a conference in 2019,
researchers could not confirm he had been officially cured at that time.
Today,
researchers announced the Dusseldorf patient still has no detectable
virus in his body, even after stopping his HIV medication four years
ago.
