Rewatching Ring. Reveling in VHS horror and analog technology. Also the ghost.

the ruling class is already geared up for class war and the cops are on their side. in their minds it is already happening. so

Overcome with joy on a Wednesday

I make a lot of typos for an anti-edit button guy

A stance I have that I think is a little more nuanced than just “Let People Enjoy Things” is that you’re not obligated to engage with art you know you already don’t like.

You’re capable of being normal about Sabrina Carpenter. I believe in you.

The idea that Wikipedia needs a summary is such a bummer to me. Wikipedia is a summary of academia, books, stats, news, surveys, etc. It’s not written in exceptionally complicated language and most articles are structured so you can find what you’re looking for quickly. It’s already a summery!

The fact that top surgery is only 3 months away has hit me and I know this summer is going to go by super quickly. If you like the work I do and want support me, I have a kofi goal to help with the cost of surgery as well as bonus since I will be out of work for a while. ko-fi.com/monroeroe

Babe I'm gonna stop by REI, do you need a canoe or anything

maybe the mexican flags aren't actually for the mostly gringo pundits criticizing protestors, but are actually for the mexican american community being terrorized? is solidarity not an appropriate "message" to send to your own community? can latines not be in conversation with each other?

dude this party is such an echo chamber. it's just friends hanging out and chilling and having a good time. you need to invite some people over who want to kill you with hammers

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Crushed it at charity event tonight (didn’t say anything weird)

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

All the people I still know in LA laugh and laugh when they hear that "Los Angeles is burning." I made a couple of maps to show just how tiny and localized the protests are. GOPers are working really hard to make an excuse for declaring martial law. People should be very wary of that.
