In the Neverending Story that dumbass kid rode his horse directly into the Swamp of Sadness and then the horse predictably sinks and then the kid has the gall to act sad about it for the cameras but we all know he secretly hated that horse and sunk him on purpose

Fuck yes. For those of us that will not fight with guns or fists, this is how we fight. This is how we win.

Opened up a long neglected work in progress and holy shit it's 30,000 words and reading it over it is really good. Why the hell would I have stopped when I was nearly halfway through? Why would I waste so much of my time ? I'm actively angry at my past self.

I honestly thought this was a picture of a bunch of expired bologna at first.

My life is in an extremely precarious place right now, with much uncertainty and potential instability over the horizon, but listening to these three weirdos talk about movies for a bit seems to center me in ways that supersede the content of their conversation

Noticing I feel much worse after looking at Bluesky. Maybe rawdogging the opinions of a bunch of strangers dying on inexplicable hills is not good for the psyche

This kind of thing is an act of defiance in the face of encroaching darkness. This is how we resist the temptation to quit and lie down. I read that protests are less about policy change and more about knowing we are not alone. Things like this are how we fight. This is ultimately how we win.

Wrote something that I think turned out pretty good. Check it out nerds!

I hope these things mean something to somebody somewhere. I like to believe they do. In the end it doesn't really matter, though. I'll likely just keep doing it regardless. www.ralphpullins.com/2025/05/haun...

Bad news MCU haters: Thunderbolts is really good

"Kick at the darkness til it bleeds daylight" @propagandhi.com "At Peace"

Of all the incredible murals in Detroit, this has to be my favorite

My sister in law was talking about the Conclave and how they achieve the different colored smoke. She said, To get the white smoke they use tissue paper and- oh what was the other thing?" "Is it sexual misconduct allegations?" I said, basically ruining family dinner

Good morning Detroit. You're looking beautiful

I propose we call the Anti Fascist movement LIGMA or Operation Dragon or something because it would make right wing radio call in shows consistently hilarious

WW released a statement, as a parting message to America: "Whatever man, we're through trying to help you assholes. You fat fucks can eat each other for all we care. We sincerely hope you choke on a McNugget, you absolute trash bags.

I like seeing May the Fourth memes and such because it always reminds me that I once again forgot to call one of my good friends on his birthday a couple of weeks ago.

Me at the writers conference: It's like none of these people even know Propagandhi released a new album yesterday. Unbelievable.

condemned by the gods to eternally carry a book around fully intending to read it, never opening it even once

I mean I get the symbolism but that kangaroo is about to fuck that goose right?

I'm being constantly confronted with my own arrogance at this writers conference. Strutting around like haha, I always show and I never tell you simpletons, you absolute troglodytes. Is that an adverb on your shirt Marcus? Fucking clean yourself up you embarrassing slob

HEY CAN WE NOT BE THE FUCKING WORST FOR LIKE FIVE SECONDS?!?? - me, yelling at my dogs, and the entire nation in general

hold on, i need to be five years old finding out it's parachute day in gym class for a minute

Bad news: I have been escorted from the reading because I spit taked a mouth full of chewed carrots on the neck of the person in front of me when I was startled by the poet's unconventional use of metaphor.

Got a Costco sized bag of raw carrots to munch through while this lady reads her poetry so I'm pretty stoked for sure

OMG I FIGURED IT OUT UNLIKABLE? SOCIOPATHIC? PETULANT? WHINY? STEPHEN MILLER IS GROWN-UP CAILLOU

I'm at this writers conference today, and instead of listening to the presenters or interacting with other writers I just want to put my headphones on and listen to my Murderbot audio book, which is a very Murderbot-y thing to do, so either I am Murderbot or I have always been 'Bot-adjacent

Godfellas
