you couldn’t waterboard this take out of me

sometimes the only thing you can really do about it is make cornbread and hang out with your cat

there’s no such thing as a good fascist, but historically weren’t the trains supposed to run on time and the planes not fall out of the sky?

you’re not gonna believe how long it took me to realize this but reaching for a book instead of your phone first thing in the morning is good for the soul

one of the unintended consequences of having a mental breakdown is learning just how shitty the US healthcare system really is. like what do you mean there are Dr. Bills vs Hospital Bills and the former will show up out of nowhere 6 months later?!?

My cat, who has no concept of time or weather, insists he be let out daily onto our balcony cage so that he can hear the birds

so are eggs going to become the new status symbol? like if i go to someone’s house and they have over a dozen in the fridge am im gonna be like yowza look at daddy warbucks

Is there anything more useless than a doctor telling you to de-stress? Like does anyone ever say, “Oh damn, I didn’t know stress was bad for me, but now that I know, I’ll stop doing it.”

so the only way to get a NEA Grant for next year as an author is to write various genres of National Treasure 4?

i talk in my sleep and im coming down with a cold so apparently last night I said, “Sabrina Carpenter and J LO? Not a chance.”

getting lotta ick from all the liberals on here either saying “I told you so” or “if you did x (voted for trump, didn’t vote, protest voted, etc.) then you deserve this & I hope you re happy.” Like is basking in suffering the only thing you can think to do? it’s giving thinly veiled sociopath

life taught me recently about the difference btwn you & what you experience. for ex, if you’re feeling anxious (who isn’t), you’re not an anxious person—you’re a person who is experiencing anxiety. meaning if you go, the anxiety goes. however if the anxiety goes, you still remain.

Noted in @newyorker.com, however briefly!

me: why do i always feel so anxious in the mornings? also me: *doomscrolls across multiple apps the nanosecond i wake up*

Metaphor Re: Fantazio you weren’t perfect—but you were perfect for me (& my spouse; together we put in 115+ hours into it)

Could have sworn this was the Onion—liberals are unmatched: “They have no shared understanding of why they lost the election, never mind how they can win in the future.” How do we tell them?

not saying your fear is invalid. but giving into fear makes your outlook on the future bleaker, it affects your ability to make decisions. remember that courage isnt the absence of fear but rather the willingness to carry on in spite of it. bc hope is a discipline. & self-awareness helps us hone it.

seeing the sheer number of posts warning folks online & irl about ICE raids happening in my neighborhood gives me hope

more like Edon Mump, amirite that one’s free

i can’t wait until i have to scan my retina to access the deodorant at the corporate pharmacy

modern problems require modern solutions, like technological back bending based on corporate lies about crime. sure have more of my data & geolocations, CVS, instead of, idk, not locking products that weren’t being stolen in the first place?

OpenAI when stealing millions & millions of people’s work: :) OpenAI when their work is stolen: >(

DeepSeek this, DeepSeek that. Some of yall need to DeepSeek the proper spelling of “Colombia”

Colombian President Petro responded to trump w/ a letter full of leftist references re: populism, from Coronel Buendía to Jorge Gaitán. He threatens to match the tariffs. I don’t want slavers on Colombia’s side, we already had many & we liberated ourselves…I don’t shake hands with white slavers…

i am begging you politically conscious folks to remember that there is no U in Colombia. Two o’s, my friends, double O.

spent roughly two days prepping and making ~150 colombian empanadas with abuela and my body is like pero por why

it’s still the Gulf of Mexico just like it’s still the Sears Tower iykyk

i don’t have the biggest reach on here but if this helps somebody, anybody, that’s good enough for me ❤️‍🩹

i know a lot is happening too fast to really process so im trying to hold the little things close, like having aguapanela and watching Cien Años de Soledad con mi abuela

TikTok is back, complete with a message thanking Trump. We know that Trump initially got the TikTok ban talk rolling, but Democrats did his dirty work, signing the bill into law. In catering to conservative logic they handed him today’s win on a platter. Read more: www.jphilll.com/p/things-fal....

too much social media whiplash ffs am I or am I not learning mandarin

fuck the post but this person is a hero, Rick and Morty jacket aside

i know the tsa agents are people too but they give real cops a run for their money re: power tripping

this is nerdy but it pains me that my undergraduate class portal has wiped its archives because i can’t find old syllabi to help rediscover texts that influenced me

time marches on, and the age of a new king draws nearer…
