They might also mean “deserving to be protected from harm” like a sacred cow, although 1. That term is usually used ironically, and 2. Plenty of assholes think it’s fine to harm trans people. But it’s well-intentioned.

“highly valued and important” and “deserving of reverence and respect” are among the definitions of “sacred” in Merriam-Webster. It’s a word often connected with religion but it doesn’t have to be.

And pooping in their savannah, at crepuscular hunting time, alone. As if he thought his wealthy philanthropist privilege extended to lions. It’s not entertaining as if he was a hunter, but maybe more an inevitable fate story like Oedipus.
Maybe fiction writer as well

It would drive up the cost of milk and milk products like baby formula, which is a hardship for poor families, but of course the government COULD step up more on WIC, because we know the GOP cares so much about babies and children!
Thinking now, I wonder how much of the American milk supply is bought by Nestlé. I bet there’s a way they could eat the extra cost and still make a profit, just not an obscene profit.

I guess if everything you’ve done over the past 10 years was ripped out and thrown away it would destroy nothing of value and you wouldn’t care. And if we hired a bunch of goons to attack you every time you were online and threaten you in person it would have no affect on your mental health. But she did, it was, and it did for her.
This goes for anything, pretty much. It’s a wonder we don’t see a lot more blood on competitive cooking shows.
Amber bot is shit at poetry.
The idea of an onion as a metaphor for heartlessness is intriguing, because it’s layers all the way down, but there’s no poetry in the approach.
