The generational Cajun curse of eating king cake for breakfast on Mardi Gras.

One day, I'll not burn the roof of my mouth on hot pizza out of the oven.

Help an old man out - Why is Lana Del Rey controversial? I don't really keep up on celebrity gossip, but I've been listening to her music the last couple of days, and I don't get it.

ChatGPT uses 500ml of water for every dozen or so prompts you feed it. I, a human writer, on the other hand, am dehydrating myself to truly understand the perspective of what it is to thirst.

I can truly no longer differentiate what is true and what is not, and I do not have the hours of time required to look it all up.

Imma start writing the craziest shit you ever read. Exercise my freedom of speech while I still got it.

10 million species of animals on this planet and I gotta be born as the one that invented bills, politicians, and anxiety.

The Reverend Dr. William Barber II was in action & had a big march & rally of civil servants protesting Elon's coup. They had thousands in the streets. Don't say nobody's doing anything just because democratic politicians aren't, just join the fight where you are. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k6X...

Dear artists: Afraid of death? It’s coming anyway. Afraid of failure? We all fail. A lot. Sometimes spectacularly. Afraid of these fascists? There are more of us cheering you on. Don’t stop creating. Not now. Make art. Piss them off. Create. With anger. With hope. Keep going.

I propose the adoption of a new contraction - w'all. A Southern-esque shortening of "we all", w'all can be used as a first person plural reference to a collective of which one is a member.

You ever a thought, or write a line, and you honestly can't remember if it's original or you stole it from somewhere? Here's mine: The events of my birth ruined a perfectly good non-existence. Is that from something?

The thing about #Severance is that it has us all focused on the delivery of a single, throwaway line over all of the gigantic cosmic repercussions of in-universe moralities. It's as if we have been consumed by the claustrophobia and realize that our only way out is through the nuance.

My toxic trait is that I get irrationally angry when I see an incorrectly set up chess board in movies and TV.

If you're in the Triangle area, support Flyleaf. They're more than just a bookstore. Truly.

Did we need this? www.generalmills.com/news/press-r...

Alright. Let's get Febr-ewing. Huh? Yeah? No....I know....I tried....

Don't forget: prop-bots don't just agree with them. They agree with you too. They post defeatist, apocalyptic messages to push you further into despair. Are things bad? Yeah. They're pretty fucking awful. But there are people, good people, smart people, stepping up to the moment and fighting back.

Unconditional empathy (and the rest of that hippy dippy feely shit) is all that's going to save us. You know that, right?

It would all be so much easier if I were a lizard on a rock in the desert. Man it's hot. What's that? Flies? Yum. Goodnight, moon. I'll take my dinner on the veranda. I'll be the anole at the table.

For those of you on edge, it's not more bats in the attic. It's just an opportunistic squirrel and one hell of a coincidence.

More than just generating fake news stories, AI has us questioning the very premise of reality and doubting truths. You know what you saw. No amount of bot posting or "Um akshully" will change that. Trust yourself and believe your existence.

When there was only one set of footprints in the sand....

We talk a lot about the current echos of history. To be clear, I'm talking about the scary comparison of Nazi rhetoric to the current Trump administration. And it's true. History is repeating itself. History ALWAYS repeats itself. But there is something else repetitious history has taught me. 👇

To me, snow will always feel about the closest thing on earth to an actual miracle. (Look, I know that's a different part, but I couldn't find a gif of the right one.)

Snow in NC is far from an unusual thing, but it has been a couple years since we got some at my house. It turns me into a little kid every time.

What in the fuck is this shrinkflation no icing bullshit? I swear to Christ. We can't even have good junk food in this timeline. The circuses are shut down and the bread is fucking garbage.

Idk what to do. Imma write some spooky stories and play chess on my phone, I guess...

Remember, radical acceptance does not mean condoning a situation. It does not mean a failure to recognize the gravity of a situation. It means, just as it says, accepting fully the reality in which we exist.

Found a dying bat in my house. I called animal control. I'm waiting on a call from the DoH to confirm if it had rabies. As some of you may recall, I was attacked by a rabid skunk about 6 years ago. What do you think are the odds I come into contact with 2 rabid animals in my life?

Wait. After seeing what unfolded with them two Supreme Court justices a few years ago, you think these hearings actually mean something anymore?

We could all stand to be a little more like Werner Herzog.

Why y'all looking for logic in anything anymore though?

It might snow out here in the Quay. Good luck, godspeed you all. Never forget the Great Glenwood Storm of '14. #Raleigh #TheOldNorthState

You know, of you smear peanut butter on a CheezeIt, you got a little mini Nab.

Every day, I get more weary. But I keep doing it. I do it because I don't know what else to do. Maybe something will happen. Until then, this is kind of it. And hopefully I don't accidently bite off a piece of the tinfoil that's around my gyro and shock myself. Then I'll just breakdown and cry.

I might just be a #chessbum and not one of the real #chesspunks, but I think it's hilarious that hypermodernism is more than a hundred years old.

And just like that, before anyone realized it and in spite of their best efforts to stop it from happening at all, it was tomorrow again.

Anyone else just kinda....idk....bummed out today? Like.....everything is just a real bummer.
