For all the issues that exist with text-based communication, hitting the ol' delete button saves me from myself *frequently.* I am glad "Actually Ed Gein wasn't a serial killer" never comes up face-to-face because the follow-up explanation is not an improvement unless technicalities are your jam

I know Bluesky is a real social media platform now because I woke up to a bunch of "oh so you hate waffles" except about queer stuff. Because yeah, my asexual panromantic trans ass hates waffles, sure, why not

It's really gratifying when a movie essayist does a video about how much they love a film I love but never talk about loving because people will question my taste. I fully credit Spielberg's "A.I." with awakening my empathy for "The Other" as a child growing up in an abusive, white supremacist home

nihilistic "centrists" generally think concentration camps are fine, so long as they're for "criminals." but "crime" is a construction that power alters at will, to the nodding approval of people who only want assurance that some procedure is being followed, and that someone else is suffering.

One of several reasons I left twitter was the foaming-at-the-mouth radicalization of people happy to become the violent, nuance-devoid strawmen the Right wring their hands over, making targets on the vulnerable even bigger and redder. It is making me sick to my stomach seeing it happening here too.

Based on context clues I suspect I'm on several of the same meds Cameron mentions, but for epilepsy rather than bipolar. I haven't quite figured out what words to use for the feelings I have about leaving in the anomia, slurring, stammering etc from said Pills. But ... thanks for not editing it out.

Just re-nudging a quiet little humble brag about clearing what will, ironically, most likely be the hardest part of getting my masters so I can be a librarian. Libraries are always *drowning* in volunteer applications so this was like a polite whisper being heard over a rocket launch

I've been with @sphrog.bsky.social for well over a third of my life, and I just learned that they have never seen the masterclass of building tension "Signs," and has apparently thought my frequent statements that a drink "is contaminated" or calmly saying "I am insane with anger" were affectations.

I was just offered a regular volunteer position at the library. It's been so long since undergrad, the MLIS advisory team said that's the first hurdle I needed to clear toward getting into their masters program. One day, maybe I can be the magical superhero I needed so badly when I was a kid.

After the Lachryma premiere last night they spent 2 hours trying to figure out "which recent Disney villain" Papa V reminded him of, and then suddenly said "I remember! The Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!"
