it’s actually very very funny how much i accidentally learned from reading the absolutely execrable left behind books in the early 2000s when i was broke and they were free.

“We’ve grown too permissive of people suffering from addiction.” Touch grass. Put your phone down, step outside, and see your neighbors being swept up, pushed out, and criminalized.

if you’re a native speaker of american english and your argument takes you to the place that “degenerate” is the noun you come up with to describe a whole kind of person you think is ruining humanity, you may be surprised by some of the people who will eagerly agree with whatever you’re saying.

I think it’s something we’re watching an aggressive effort to entrench white supremacy and a *lot* of people have decided now is the perfect time to push back on ideas like “addiction isn’t a moral failure” and “people suffering from war deserve support.”

this has been happening every day in my timezone & i keep telling myself, “oh, it’s the bats! they’ve discovered melody! good for them!” but inevitably i end up at the cabinet by the window with one hand on my ambien & one on a crate of dynamite & one day i’m not gonna feel like taking a pill.

on one hand, this woman’s 22. when i was 22, i drank a liter of vanilla vodka & orange triaminic, slept in my car, got a gun in my face, but was too drunk to get mugged. on the other, “i’m collabing with the race science turner diaries guy on mark andreessen’s nazi platform” is a way bigger fuckup.

they usually do these in grey & my weird take is i like them *better* grey but i just remembered i scaled back my skittles consumption cos they said “we’re not taking titanium out of our white til 2025” so are these *extra* titanium skittles or should i believe they were all made fresh this year?
