The Old World Isn't Coming Back To Save Us We were nurtured by a political settlement that is unlikely to survive the decade; we'll have to learn to survive in a new one.

Nobody here is likely to thank me for writing this, but this might be the place that needs to hear it most.

Did the Brazilians make this site based or is it still cringe?

I still feel as strongly as I did then, the sadness, hurt, and resolve to do something. I’ve even progressed a bit on the last one. But it’s tempered now by a deeper understanding of how we fuck each other up. I don’t quite know what to do with that.

This time last year I was fucked up about the murder of a trans girl and now other girls are arguing about who gets to farm clout off her corpse. Pain.

Is there any difference?

Nah

Another twitter apocalypse, another bluesky post. Le sigh. I really wish this place had managed to seize the Mandate of Heaven.

Increasing the likelihood that California introduces Maleficium Laws.

If you don’t know ely, but have spare change to throw at something important, I can assure you that the world is a better place with more ely in it. Your money would be well spent here.

Yes, but they’re out of season, but also this was a situation where, had I slain it in self defense, I could have simply not told anyone.

I had gone my entire life without encountering the string: “muppet gangbang” until just now. Why would you do this to me?

Had an encounter with one while running just a minute ago and I could see the dinosaur race-memory in its eyes.

Living in a DC suburb that nevertheless has a lot of un-/lightly-managed greenspace is weird cause the turkeys get overpopulated and also lose all fear of humans.

Spending time in Park Slope kinda changed my mind. Turns out different bits of the city have different vibes

Spending time in NYC is an infohazard because it’s a very cool but also very expensive place to want to live.

Spending time in Virginia is an infohazard because I am genetically predisposed to think I want to live there despite it not actually being very nice.
