FIREWORKS: - boring - stinky - frightening for animals and babies BONFIRE - pleasant as shit - delicious campfire smell - the enterprising attendee can enjoy a weenies-and-s’mores feast fit for a king

I saw a Big Bonfire yesterday instead of fireworks and we should definitely start doing that instead

like you never see people ENJOYING their fireworks, past the first couple rounds. they just stand there grim-faced setting off one after another like it’s this undesirable chore

i could get on board with the people who love to set off hours upon hours of fireworks despite the fact that it annoys the shit out of everyone not involved in setting them off…if it was actually fun to do. fireworks aren’t that fun! get your illegal-shit jollies doing something else!

yesterday was the funnest 4th i’ve ever had and it’s really not even that close

i like having a record player for all the usual cornball music nerd reasons but also because ‘one side of a record’ is a perfect timer. doing all the dishes takes about one side of a record, so does catching up on emails. it’s the ideal amount of time to work OR procrastinate!

the circe/jamie match started in such a conventional manner, but wow; what a twist!

business idea: game of thrones professional wrestling. each wrestler’s persona is a character and every night different combinations of them beat the shit out of each other

euron is such a blight on game of thrones, my god. uncle wild card is here! all hopped up on mountain dew and ready to rock!

no one ever talks about the people who have the hardest lives of all (beautiful busty 5’2” women)

every day at lunchtime

southern new hampshire university commercial: S.N.H.U. me at home: snuu

me: i guess that’s why they call it penile tuesday sean: me: i said i guess that’s why they call it— sean: i heard you

i hugely respect women who get massive bolt-on fake tits. serious surgery, long recovery time, the obligation to buy all new bras and tops…they just love tits that much 🥲

Pride BEGAN during a time of anti-sodomy laws. The first Pride was a riot against those laws. Pride is celebrated around the world in places where it is much more dangerous to be queer than here. Pride is not dependent on being ALLOWED to be who we are, it’s a promise that we WILL be no matter what

I hope we all enjoyed our last Pride month in the US. Project 2025 will put an end to it

this is an excellent feature

look no matter what happens in november or indeed for the foreseeable future you have to keep being alive and you have to figure out a way to live with yourself. so. what’s that look like? what are you going to do?

If we lived in a rational society someone saying to you "I will marry you but only if you lose 10 lbs" should be justifiable grounds for immediately beating the shit out of them
