So the funny thing is, I on my own had a totally separate but very similar take on this idea for a catchphrase: unfortunately I didn't actually come up with it on my own but it's a good one, see?

So in one of the episodes of the Cartoon Network animated miniseries "Over the Garden Wall" (it's the best piece of media ever created go watch it)- there's one episode that's a little more laid back and slice of Life than the rest about going to a school and it's very goofy and lighthearted and obviously paying homage to old cute kid films with Shirley Temple, and little children's books by Beatrix Potter and Richard Scarry.

One of the plot points of this episode is that there is a school teacher who feels angry that she was "stood up" at her wedding by her fiance. There also happens to be a wild gorilla on the loose! As you can imagine these are not separate events, but two threads that come together, for her fiance is just accidentally stuck in a gorilla costume.

So throughout the episode, cast members (who all keep using the same exact intonation when they say this-) casually keep dropping this same line, after bemoaning their personal backstory woes, or whatever complaints they have going on: They top it all off with "-Not to mention THAT WILD GORILLA ON THE LOOSE! 😕"

So anytime irl people have reason to vent, or I want to prattle on and on about some topic that's bothering me, or someone's just talking a little bit too aimlessly for a long time... You could say, for a bit of friendly polite brevity/dismissive self deprecation/to give a tiniest subtle bit of a friendly passive aggressive signal to not make such a fuss:...after you or your friend rambles about a crappy day at the office, Susan always gets on their nerves, and now Uncle Bob is expected to come over and you have to clean the whole house and mow the lawn and you also have to go shopping now and you just don't have the patience for it, blah blah blah...you top it all off by saying "-Not to mention that WILD GORILLA ON THE LOOSE 😱!"

......Well I think it's good. 👍🙄😗🐒

gang I need your help I have a phrase I really want to catch on and it’s calling any secret or invisible struggle you have a “fight with a gorilla” like the onion article. if they can have cinnamon roll catch on this can too. “yeah she told me about it, I had no idea, sounds like a real fight with a gorilla” “sorry man I can’t come I’ve really been fighting the gorilla lately” do you see the vision

in light of police across the country cracking down on pro palestine protests with brutal force, it feels like a great time to remind everyone to shut the fuck up around cops. don't make small talk, dont act friendly, don't fucking engage with them!! if you are arrested DO NOT speak without a lawyer present. protest organizers, get into contact with local pro bono lawyers who can be there for your arrested comrades. no matter what, if cops are there, shut the fuck up unless you are actively doing a protest chant. dont tell cops why you were there, dont tell them if you're affiliated with the school you may be protesting at, dont tell them if you came there with anyone, dont tell them anything!!!

IMO you can't say anything coherent about most US-based right wing conspiracy theories without understanding how seriously the diehards in these movements believe in The Devil

the obvious question, "who benefits from maintaining this elaborate lie," does not stop people like Flat Earthers because many of them are young earth creationists who believe in powerful spiritual forces whose only goals are

1. convincing people that Christianity isn't true

2. the proliferation of largely symbolic Evil, which they enjoy tricking you into supporting

"tricking" people into believing the earth is round is enough of a goal for The Devil to go to all that trouble. if people don't believe in God's perfect little flat earth then they're also free to believe in things like evolution and the big bang

practicality and material concerns are usually irrelevant. the lie is worth maintaining because The Devil has near unlimited time, resources, and human servants, and his top priority is Getting You

It IS true that being on here gives you a tumblr accent. This morning my mother asked me something and i replied "i don't know i've never heard these words in that order" and she nearly choked laughing. It wasn't even that funny
