Reminds me of when I went hiking in Griffith Park with this cool chick I wanted to befriend & right around the Hollywood sign she revealed her sincere belief that the ancient Egyptians were aliens…and then I had to hike down a mountain with a loony toon We have failed our education system. Utterly

I love Slavic faerie tales; they’ll be like “there’s this creature that eats your feet if they dangle out of bed at night - also it’s a dead abandoned baby with the face of an old man that screams like a thousand mothers mourning their sons lost to war and it shits black rotting fish”

Can’t wait until the jerks across the street use up their supply of thunder rockets you are grown ass adults stop it

Shout out to my dog—who’s basically the only being to witness what I’m like fully unmasked. I’m a wildly different person when I just let my ADHD free. The dog gets to hear all of the nonsense and singing & puts up with the pacing/stimming when I’m anxious. Which is all the time now. Best boy

This man is making his evil intentions as crystal-clear as they possibly could be, and everyone who cares about humanity should be blasting that message out in every possible venue.

New hyperfocus rabbit hole. Had no idea that the dye extraction was lost to time. Imagine garments that stay color-fast for 100s of years.

Some days I think about the Murderbot Diaries and wish I was a murderbot watching Sanctuary Moon.

In a reading slump. Need something that’s plot forward with a few dashes of litfic word magic.

Matthew Shepard was murdered 25 years ago, and there was news coverage and real outrage. Now 16 year old Nex Benedict was beaten in a bathroom by 3 older girls in a high school hate crime that killed them, and there's fucking crickets in the media. Murdered. In. School.

I want to celebrate this ruling but it seems like it will have zero impact on the cult that follows him. Dude could be in actual prison & they’d still vote for him.

Bluesky thinks I want cat content. I’m insulted on behalf of my dog.

Told a fam member that I was opposed to the excessive use of private jets and now they’ve become a swiftie to “own” me or something.
