It’s cool to not be totally healed from something 9 months later and it’s also cool to understand that you don’t really heal from anything you just live beyond it and find new happiness and it’s cool to grieve the loss of some sort of innocence you can’t quite name and it’s cool if you’re crying because I am too
Despite approximately 200,000 years of evolution, humans are still completely vulnerable while they sleep and lack any sort of defensive mechanism.
The defense mechanism is community you self centered prick
First line of defense. Its a fucking wall. While these particular designs are new, controlling access to the space by reducing the number of ingress points has served human (hominids, really) well for a couple million years or so, ever since we found caves and said “Hey, this is pretty neat.”
Second line of defense. She’s an older model, but we’ve been using the same technology for at least 30,000 years, and it’s still reliable. With better senses of hearing and smell, they are able to track and identify interlopers before humans can. They are also snuggly.
After that, we have our third line of defense, which is other people.
