there could be a thousand applicants to a LinkedIn EasyApply job. and all it takes is one fuckin dumbass hiring manager to actually look at my resume and cover letter... to give me an interview that i'll totally biff

"it's not desire, it's desperation"

one of the problems here is that he is on THE MOST BORING DRUGS

this speech is almost entirely—but especially when he’s quoting some person with a functioning mind—like how one of my dementia-laden or otherwise delusional family members tell stories about situations where they believe they’re being praised.

when he said make America Affordable Again did anybody else involuntarily shout MAAAAAAAA

Trump says “Decatur,” and then i’m like “KEEP SUFJAN STEVENS’S SONG TITLES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH”

“anti-american UN human rights council” is fuckin wild

JD Vance is the James Frey of politics

the difference between the mean and median net worths in here is CRAZY

“deserved and earned are two different things”

i'm pretty sure i could make a career out of tracking down suspicious and/or evil funding pathways for nonprofits. but no one would pay for that reporting, so i'd just have to blackmail the funders and nonprofits in question to also give me money. and honestly? she works hard for money.

“Walden is just existentialism for nepo babies”

“if you don’t finish a dance, it just looks like a thrust.”

i should be a hiring manager. i would love to be a dumb bitch and get paid for it.

“that’s the one thing i’ve admired you for more than anything else: your pedantry and your vocabulary” okay, so, thank you, but you said one thing and then you listed two. and i know. there’s the pedantry.

"if you're gonna do it, then why do you need to tell me you're doing it?"

“you’re just an unrefined version of Philomena Cunk”

“these are people who can’t sing… they’re catholics”

“i’m nice to everybody until i know them”

"oh no! i've thought about it too much and now i can't enjoy it anymore!"

“you’re like a headache that can walk around and talk at me.”

"i just signed up for their newsletter because they're coming out with rolling luggage... ya know, like, carry ons, and—" i know what that is, what the fuck

“this is weird and esoteric but ya know… i’m interested in a lot of things.”

what the fuck not me writing this right before i go into a bar and see THIS

there’s a lot of reasons i dislike lady gaga, but chief among them is the unrelenting insistence of putting the emphasis on the wrong syllable. it’s just bad songwriting. change the words. melody. rhythm. something. fix your shit. the craft/curation of your image? apply it to your songwriting.

joanna gleason is the geena davis of the stage, i think. [thought of bc i was at my husband’s dance company’s audition and she was rehearsing in the studio across the hall from us]

don't love hearing someone at the bar telling my husband "well, that's your opinion"—OOP! gonna be a bad night for me!

[Saturday in the Park playing at the bar] friend who likes music: "this is the first... and maybe only...? Chicago song i fell in love with" me who makes music professionally but don't know shit about music unless i encountered it before the age of 22: "that's cool, mine was All That Jazz"

carlo rossi is the karla sofía gascón of wine

i accidentally radicalized myself about AIRBUD tonight bc i was talking about how that fella had a full trauma response when he almost went to the old abusive owner with the newspaper.

“i love you two! individually! i dunno about together!”

“i feel like sven says things i don’t agree with at all but then i’m like, ‘well, i’ll hear him out.’”

“cheers to pushing you so far that you say no to something”

my super bowl joke is: i’m rooting for kendrick, but i don’t think drake is even gonna show up

"not everybody gets to know all my talents. you don't pay me enough to be bilingual."

i don’t understand the way that anybody lives their life. including myself.

“all i’m hearing are sounds”

i’m not interest in not losing. i’m interested in winning faster.

name a straight man who works as hard as i do

thinking about making a whole mashup recording just bc i thought of the phrase “save a horse, ride a cowboy at the pink pony club”

if he were a more interesting person, he’d be GREAT on 90 Day Fiancé.

come on eileen is the Craziest Song

what’s the kind of relationship where it’s parasitic but in both ways?

the bunny in Donnie Darko did 9/11

"i'd made my peace... my resentful peace..." hearing this and immediately i'm like, wait. resentful peace. do i need to write a new song?
