Man if nobody stops this executive order I’ve lost all faith in my country.

Forever saddened by the term nonce being slang for pedo instead of being a phonetically satisfying way of calling someone an idiot (nonce->nonsensical)

I saw a whole big flock of robins at the dr’s office today. They were trying to eat what looked like clumps of sumac or bird cherries and struggled to keep their balance on the branches. Some of them saw a bunch of the stuff in the snow on the ground and decided to eat those instead and I felt that.

I have been writing, just not anything I’d post online 😂 Sorry everybody. Maybe some day.

I’m kind of indifferent to tiktok being gone from my personal life because it would pretty consistently decide that some random doomer thing I watched for a few seconds before moving on would become my entire fyp for days at a time. But it sucks for people who managed to avoid that and enjoyed it

the internet used to be weirder in the good way, not the hideously evil way, and I miss that

I strongly urge anybody who feels like watching something culturally relevant to pick up Mr. Robot, and to find a website to pirate it or stream it free rather than go out of your way to specifically buy it as it’s been conveniently paywalled / removed from legitimate sites that previously hosted it

Totally lost motivation to do anything tonight and went to bed early. Mistake 😐

I crave blueberry flavored everything all the time. Where did all the blueberry milk go?

Eyeing the cheesecake like this won’t be me immediately after. Maybe I succumb to the food coma first, then cheesecake.

Best Christmas ever ☺️

TIL there is real vitriol for “Wonderful Christmastime” and I gotta say the simplicity and neat little synths are exactly why it’s one of my favorite Christmas songs. Sometimes just saying you’re having a wonderful Christmas is all that’s needed. Turn up your nose at me all you like 😂

Another night where sleep evades me. Being on my phone probably isn’t helping much though 😂

no offense to Kendrick Lamar but the best diss track of all time is still “You’re a Mean One Mr Grinch”

It finally happened almost a year after getting glasses: I looked around for them thinking they were lost without realizing they were on my face 🥸

Reposting with a preview screenshot so it goes into my media tab with the rest of my stuff. Hosted on google docs 🤷‍♂️ I wrote a short story. A Bridge at the End of All Things docs.google.com/document/d/1... Content warning: talk of suicide #writing #writingcommunity #shortstory #prose

What do people use to post longer texts here? Like if I wanted to post a short story that’s too long for a single screenshot? The only thing that comes to mind is something like pastebin and that doesn’t seem like a great option. #writing #writingcommunity

Nintendo has a great opportunity to create an Among Us style game with the Mario cast. Each character could have their own kill animation. Mario jumps on their head, Bowser breathes fire on them, and Luigi anxiously clears a jam while he guns them down with a pistol.

I also do a little photoshop from time to time. Any #classicwow players from 2019 here?

I’m just saying, if I was absurdly rich and made money by denying the most vulnerable people in society access to lifesaving medicine, I would spend the fraction of a fraction of a percent of that hoard of gold to hire a 24/7 security team… especially if I were actively receiving death threats. #UHC

Has anyone here been playing #Elin? What are your thoughts so far? Worth it? Been thinking of picking it up 'cause it seems like it has a lot of potential as a sandbox game.

gentle reminder that "I dunno I just felt like it" is a viable reason to format your poems in a weird way and "I don't know why this is formatted like this" is a viable reaction to the ways poems are organized; intuition and uncertainty are also how you live your life!

Been trying to write, but haven't had much I felt is worthy to post. Here's a snippet I might expand on later. #poetry #poem
