Despite all my rage, I am still just a Nicholas Cage

No, I don’t think *hate* is the word to solve anything.

I know it’s not the fault of the service but when I signed up for Bluesky I didn’t know it would be this blue 💙

I need a field manual to sabotage the regime of my self-sabotage

Thinking about the time I got into a heated dialogue on Reddit, but we randomly agreed on something we both liked in the process. He goes, ‘Hey, don’t try to change the subject. Don’t forget, I’m still mad at you!’ Which I found very cute and amusing.

I think instead of saying “namaste” at yoga we should say “ohhh BIG stretch” like we do with our pets

Sincerely delighted to discover, 45 minutes into this nearly-wordless three-hour documentary about French monks who take vows of silence, that among the reasons they *can* talk is "to make sure the monastery cats know when it's mealtime by making little kitty-calling noises at them."

You’re telling me this life crisis is mid?

my LSA fomo is real so thanks everyone for your updates 🥰

please forgive me, cult of misfit animals, for forgetting my Webkinz password all those years ago. by this time you will have jobs, are married, and cooking for your family— something better than mush.

You would never listen to me talk about underlying sentence structures in Mandarin and Japanese, but would you listen if I put on an afro and painted it on an easel? 🌈🌳🌳
