Damn glad I experienced it, even if it lead to a little cry in the walk-in afterwards lol

My 2nd take was thinking about how these fucking hippies need to get a job because I romanticize my own suffering and so should they goddammit!

It's something else to feel so much jealousy for fictional people describing their experience of a revolutionary war against the concept of capitalism, lol

I listened to the excellent Everything for Everyone audio book, & my 1st takeaway was just how traumatizing it really is to live in our current system.

Something about the way the stories are describing (correctly) how awfully even taking an unpaid sick day from work can affect you broke me a bit.

Wrestlemania 42:

Total Event Time: 7 Hours and 26 minutes

Total Match Time: 2 Hours and 39 minutes.

i support whichever candidate will vow to eradicate palantir and its owners

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.

We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

Thanks for the recommendation: I'm starting Everything for Everyone right now!

there is a privacy apocalypse coming, and the democrats are just as responsible as the republicans.

I really don't mean to be a hater, but I have to say this after the newest episode of #Invincible...

Why does nobody in this damn series fight like they're trying to win? Every one-on-one in this season is just two flying bricks trying to piss each other off between punches & not trying to end it.

You can make the mistake of not knowing, but never make the mistake of not caring.

if a position of authority can be misused in this way, that position of authority should not exist. It's clearly not enough to simply change who is in that position, no more than praying that the next king be better than the last.

I'll be alright, and I hope you will too.

Things are really hard right now, but if we can be there for each other in our mutual sadness, anger, and fears in the way that we've shared our mutual joys, interests, and achievements: I really believe we can make it through this together.

Love you all.

Maybe that's harsh, but it feels emotionally true right now.

All I can say for sure is that I'm grateful for so many of you who are reading this. I know I haven't been there in ways I should've as of late. Thank you all for being great friends and support with me through that.

I feel like, instead of being a bright spot of the day, I've just become... kind of a bummer a lot of the time.

Many awesome people have given me so much of their time, attention, and energy over the years, and I just feel like a version of myself that isn't living up to that.

I've also withdrawn a lot from my creativity and my community because of it. I think in part because I just have less energy, but if I'm being honest... mostly because I think I'm just not the coolest version of myself anymore. Sometimes, I don't feel like the friend I used to be. I feel worse.

I've not been the most pleasant to be around all the time in my personal life recently because of these struggles. I'm really grateful to the people who have helped keep me grounded through this.

I'd be in a very dark place if I didn't have such wonderful people in my life to share both my joys and burdens with.

I'm not a particularly resilient person. I try hard to be, but I'm just not. I'm prone to bouts of melancholy and rage in equal measure and sometimes seemingly at random lately.

I don't have a lot to say about it other than that.

I'm scared, guys. For a while now, I've been scared in ways I never have before.

The only thing that's made it manageable is the way that this feeling has been mitigated by the incredible friends and bonds I've made and managed to hang onto.

Gonna be vulnerable here.

I spent a lot of today genuinely afraid that I was going to see a serious escalation in a bullshit conflict, instigated by a likely mad dictator who has gone entirely unchecked by the powers that be in my country.

I've been worried about it a while. It has not been good.

Already got my tickets and can't wait to catch both nights!

1 box and 3 additional loose cornflakes in a ziplock bag. They are noticeably of a different color than the other ones.

I'm rewatching The Amazing Digital Circus and goddamn, I underappreciated the first few episodes at the time.

make incompetence shameful again

So much of my day is dealing with grown ass adults who don't know a fucking fraction

"What's 1/2 of a pound look like on a scale, Matty? 1.5lbs?"

How did you survive infancy?

Me after being outside for 3.7 seconds today

We all know this is fascism.

Y'know, since there's discourse rowling around again, if you're the type to own physical media, like some books or a box set of blu-ray discs you bought many years ago and own, you can enjoy those things to your heart's content without giving any more money to anyone.

But maybe be quiet about it.

Also it’s a trap.

A culture that caters to the old at the expense of the young is doomed and at this point we might take the whole species along for the ride.

I had such a fun time on Friday at lucha libre and laughs. Every match was awesome. I also got to meet 2 of my favorite wrestlers @abadonx13.bsky.social and @shotzi.bsky.social. The match between them was absolutely amazing. I can't wait to go again.
