This thread had probably been to death, but I need advice for a notebook, since I've been in rehab I've been asked to journal and all I was able to get was a moleskine I'm not to impressed with, I try to write as to not push down so hard but either way I can see and feel the imprint on the following pages what should I use instead? I should also mention I can only get Bic pens.

I have a small black binder with blank pages I got from Muji. It fits in my coat pocket and because it's a binder sort of thing there's no problem writing right to the edge of the page, and you can tear pages out neatly if you need to.
I think it's this one

The snake is phallic here and it penetrates.

The snake is what tempted Adam to eat the fruit. It is what made him listen to Eve.

It's about how Adam's trousersnake is the cause of original sin. Basically 'lads thinking with their dicks is the problem'. Not misogynistic.

It's kind of fucking obvious that it's a blatant allusion to the Bible. I'm just not buying that it is a representation of misogyny through woman being the origin of sin because they're little reference to Adam.

We might be just taking this more than it probably was meant to be taken as. It's might just be what this anon said: >>6806609 and just be a representation of Eve's temptation through an allusion to seduction.

So you're just sperging out because a visual allegory isn't wholly synonymous with "symbolism" meaning being a literal "symbol" to concretely represent a specific phenomena rather than it's definition (what I'm using) being as a loose allusion to an abstract concept.

Except that the snake doesn't penetrate the vagina, it proceeds from it. This is in line with the Christian idea that sin proceeds from the female sex.

it'd be the other way around if it were proceeding from it. this is penetration

On a somewhat similar topic, I've lost partial rotation in my right hand due to a compound fracture and can't seem to write a goddamn thing without smearing everything I wrote into illegible smears. I've tried 'no-smear' inks and none of them seem to work at all, ever. Pencils are out, too. Am I confined to typing for the rest of my life or do I have some alternative?

I did also try gloves, but I really couldn't get over the weird clutching sensation they press on you.
