• an [[intent]]
  • #pull I often say that I want to [[slay moloch]], but I mean it with [[loving kindness]] -- if they don't resist or turn violent, I'd rather [[disentangle]] them.

  • [[some days I feel like slaying moloch]]
    • might trigger [[cringe]]
    • I mean to [[write]] a proper [[essay]]
    • I hope to write a draft of it in [[2021]]
