An ode to Wikipedia
Abbey Oct 2018
Dear Wikipedia,
you get so much **** and none of it deserved
for the world of knowledge which you preserve
teachers seem to hate you, say you're unreliable
but to me you are the most desirable
the bounty of general knowledge you posses
is the pinnacle of finesse
So yeah that was my poem I just made. I was overcome with a defensive affection for Wikipedia just now because everyone always says 'anyone can write anything on Wikipedia so its not a good source' but I disagree. firstly how many people go onto Wikipedia pages and make stuff up for fun? there cant be that many and there's a crap-tonne of Wikipedia pages anyway so the likelihood that the one you're looking at has been ******* with is slim. '
And while i agree that it may not give you the most in depth understanding of a topic, its certainly a good starting point anyway to give you a quick overview of a topic to perhaps see what part of it you want to explore more.
okay.
rant over.
later potaters.

All Hail West Texas
Abbey Oct 2018
I have never been to Texas.
I have never been to the star-spangled states.
I would like to. One day.
I want to drive along the mobius strip highway,
On the right-side-wrong-side-not-the-left-side of the road in a right side driver seat car.
I’d watch the kilometers miles tick by.
To look to the horizon and see the lone, level lands stretch away into nothingness.
I think that would be pretty great.
I would drive and drive and drive and drive.
I would drive right into the absolute oblivion of a West Texas highway at night.
The stars would be brighter there.
I really like the mountain goats also I cannot figure out how to publish this
SIKE you just use that drop down box huh
