gerrymandering a cookie to get the most chocolate chips

having the time of my life at a birthday party in a restaurant where the music is playing from a spotify jam (alt, indie, disco, etc.) and the TV is showing norteño/corrido videos on mute, and we’re cheering every time the vibe or beat of the song matches with the aesthetic or cuts of the videos

‘severance’ teaching me new words like ‘a series of unfortunate events’ did when i was a kid

the secret to happiness is unfollowing everyone on social media EXCEPT museums and zoos

at a quinceañera right now with a little bowl of nuts to snack on, so every time the tíos flip open their wallet-style phone cases to snap pics of the night’s proceedings, i appear in the background popping a cashew

omg you’re here?? bluesky just peaked

Crocs styled to look like the yellow submarine from the Beatles-led movie of the same name, complete with porthole stickers and a periscope.

before you judge me, try walking a mile in my yellow submarine crocs

just mistyped ‘acquainted’ as ‘aquatained’ and it got me thinking: ‘aqua-tainer’ would be a sick name for a water bottle

searched it and, alas, there’s already a camping brand with such a product

which begs the question: did the product come first, or were they inspired after making the same typo

my ghost will appreciate the errors — traces of humanity, marks of focus snatched by grief

new greatest fear is dying and having someone write an obituary for me using chatgpt

we talk about the algorithm like it’s so clever but really it’s just “i see you liked a photo of some pizza, i will now show you ads for pizza” like lmao congrats little algo do you want a medal
