This is basically my creative thesis.

By favourites I mean most entertaining. I don't believe them to be true. Hilarious, though.

Wild thread. My faves used to be Avril is Melissa but the online kooks ruined it by saying it about everyone famous and the moon landing because the point isn't about going to the moon but that the government is so hard to trust that people would debate this. The real lies are far more devastating.

People can act however they want. I also can be particular about not wanting to be around certain attitudes in relating. As someone who instinctively protects the party with less power, it is messy to be around anyone using power in ways I don't agree with. I'm lucky I grew out of seeking power.

That said, I can be wrong about a single thing and I can be wrong about a few things but I trust my mind enough to know that when I've seen multiple uses of power for personal validation or gain, this is no longer coincidence and in reflection my dismissed suspicions come into focus again.

Suddenly I have a better understanding of how easy it is to accidentally find yourself with more power than you were prepared to manage. I also have a better understanding of how easy it is to unknowingly make the self serving decision over the considerate one. It isn't always obvious.

He is polite and active in the conversation but he has a reaction to me sitting down and acring friendly. I would never expect someone to react to me like that but after noticing, it is on me to be considerate. When he works up the courage to ask to stay in touch, I say we can hang out as friends.

Yesterday I was finding a seat on a small busy patio and asked a young man if I could join him at the table. He welcomed me and I sat down and immediately started yapping. I don't think anything of it because I'm just me and dressed casually. Soon enough, I realize that he is shaking.

I'm hypersensitive to noticing power differentials and locking in on how that power is being used and sometimes abused. It has now been demonstrated to me that sometimes we do not know the weight of our impact and a third party observing this could interpret this as someone being taken advantage of.

I am setting a boundary. Oh god. I should not have done that. They’re gonna be so mad. No. I have a right to protect myself. Then why do i feel so guilty?

I'm usually a little stoned but this unexpected party got me unreasonably high. I don't regret it, I just know how this luxurious an experience is already rare and will soon be looked back on as unbelievably hedonistic. There is such luxury is accessing escape.

It is well suited to me that I can accidentally have a beer and get high on the way to the shops but this is not a sustainable lifestyle and I resent that.

I left my home to buy ginger, pastry dough and parmesan but there's a 420 party so suddenly I'm partying.

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

Hi this joke is for me

A bunny and a smiling moon dance. Text reads: "let's dance baby!"

Groovy evening.

Rapping in my head while reading about bugs "Queen Bee? The B stands for bitch! The B stands for bitch! The B stands for bitch! The B stands for bitch! The B stands for bitch!"

Today's frog is the Canadian toad.

The plan is that if I don't get enough points for a Walter Bottel Plush, I'll definitely enter the sweepstakes 43+ times. I know what the correct move is but I'd like to have an option to choose Walter if I get to 1800 pts. A chance at money or a GUARANTEED life with Walter Bottel? Obvious answer.

A normal person would say he deserves some grace because he is obviously just excited to be in contact again. I can only see a reminder of how despite an agreed path forward, his desire takes precedence over my stated comfort. I feel bad but I feel safer. It is important for me to look out for me.

I had missed call and text within 6 minutes of running into this person. I didn't answer because the agreement was that I'd reach out to make plans and I actually didn't know my availability yet because of some family stuff. I got another text the next day. Another text days later and I was done.

Why wouldn't I share the real reason with him? A very dangerous position to be in is witnessing a man face his ego reconciling an error. Even just being in proximity to a man making a mistake can be a risk. A man's shame will drive him to do unreasonable things and please don't ask me how I know.

He thinks we aren't in contact because he texted too much. I know that was only the red flag that killed the second chance after he long ago came to represent an insidious type of violation (consent renegotiated under pressure in the heat of the moment).

I just walked by a man I recently "rejected" (chose not to reconnect with) and I feel so bad having boundaries but I know from first hand experience that I cannot afford certain types of draining energy to use up my time and effort. I want him happy but I need to choose my happiness.

Please be aware that I am saving my recycling points for a Walter Bottel plush instead of putting my name in a draw many times over for actual real life money.

I’d never do Simpsons trivia because I know roughly 10000x more about the Simpsons than the median human being and roughly 10000x less than bearded men who do Simpsons trivia

I'm like "be gentle, I'm shy, I'm timid, I'm socially fragile" and then I force some young people to be friends with me in a long line up for a tea shop grand opening.
