Hello, and welcome to another edition of Ame’s Hammy Jamming! As customary when I kick these posts off: I am Amethysta (Ame), I can act a bit like a ham, and I will be writing this post with little preparation…
The Myth of Fragility
Did you ever feel like punching somebody for no good reason? What…? Er…me, neither…
Relying too much on physical strength reveals metaphysical fragility — Boxing — as a sport — consistently fails to capture my attention. I don’t want to watch people get punched in the face; I don’t want to engage in…
