Someone help me - the algorithms figured out I will watch pretty much anything involving sprinkles and now I’ll never resurface

Dear @philipdefranco.bsky.social , I would love to see you chat with @sarahkendzior.bsky.social sometime! She is an expert with decades of experience with studying and writing about authoritarianism. I bet y’all would talk about some fascinating stuff!

…pretty please? My two fav creators!

You can’t convince me we aren’t on an alien reality show right now.

CHANGE MY MIND. #realitytv #charliekirk #isthisreallife #isitjustfantasy #caughtina…you get the picture.

Thank you, Josh Johnson. You are a very good bean.

I fear I am learning to hate myself again. But this time I know it, and can change it. I can remember all the things I love. All the mistakes I *haven’t* made, and I think “I’m growing so much. I have changed so much. And I’m tired of letting society. So fuck it - let’s just NOT hate myself!”

But it’s nearly impossible to leave my mistakes in the past. Not my regrets, those just are what they are, but my mistakes.

My alcohol abuse in particular hurt people. My lies hurt people. Hell, sometimes my fists hurt people. And I hate it.

I’ve made great strides in leaving the “what if?”s in my past. Everything has led to good things. I am happier than I could have imagined, started grad school, and finally determined who I want to be.

I have done a fuckton of work on myself especially in the past decade, and I’m really proud of it. But now instead of hating myself, I look back and hate past me. And that’s something only I can teach myself. It’s almost like I’m looking for a reason to do it.

He points to the truth - hate and fear are so pervasive in our society that we absorb it by default almost immediately.

I can’t get the question out of my head, though.

I’ve never had a favorite comedian before, but @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social is the perfect mix of hilarious and insightful as hell.

He asks good questions. And one in particular stuck with me. “Who taught you to hate yourself?”

I just had the hardest time going through customs and when they said “anything to declare?”

I was DYING to say “yeah. Don’t go to England.” (From snatch)

Used rock salt on my food.

It’s like salty, savory pop rocks!

I know - we broke the bookmarks!

You know, it really is fitting that AO3 crashed yesterday - we’re all desperately trying to hide from the state of the universe.

This bright and buggyness made me smile. Thanks @maimysantiago99.bsky.social !

Me too! Awesome minds and all

Can I stealborrow that?

There are nine bruises on my body and I have no idea why. I know I’m clumsy, but this is a lot…

Honestly I just gave up for a hit. Pain in the rear.

I’m back. Y’all do not want to know how many times I’ve had to reset my password, but I think bsky and I are back to being engaged.

Oooo I like that!

My house is making all sorts of unusual noises and please gif I do not have the bandwidth to deal with home repairs right now

Well I didn’t have “NFL team supported suppression of Catholic pedophile scandal” on my bingo card but it’s 2025 so why the fuck not? Fuck you, Saints.

Can we slow earth down for a second? I’d like to jump off.

It’s like it takes one person and lists every tweet from the past three days before it moves on to the next. I would really like more variety.

Following?

This feed is weird. It shows me a thousand posts by one person and nothing of the other folks I’m following. Am I doing this wrong?

…I forgot how to write academically. Here’s to trial by fire…

I spent 4 hours reading and doing homework. I’m gonna do homework all day today. I AM SO FUCKING HAPPY!!!

Just had my first class and I am so fucking IN! I’m so excited!
