disagree with "how someone treats animals tells you a lot about their character". While I do think someone treating animals poorly is a RED RED flag, I've heard way too many stories of parents who treat their pets like royalty and their kids like garbage to believe the converse is true.

it annoys me that body doubling is mainly taught as a tool to cope with ADHD when I think it's just, like, one of the best productivity strategies ever. I think everyone should body double. I'm studying for one of the hardest exams of my life rn and having someone just sit there is CLUTCH

I submitted a short story to a contest a few months ago and while I didn't win, I'm still happy I entered. It pushed me to work on something that wasn't my novel, and I ended up having a lot of fun with it. It also gave me something to share at an open mic night, which I had never done before.

"this is a cool opportunity for indie animation" + "children and teenagers deserve a space to be cringe and rowdy as it is a developmental rite of passage" are sentiments that can coexist with "I don't look forward to being crammed in a theater with screaming TADC fans so I can avoid spoilers"

the super mario galaxy movie was a movie that exists

I'm so sorry to say that the older I get the more I understand why one might have a desire for a live, laugh, love sign in their home

I could sit here and say #Flatland by Edwin Abbott Abbott was ahead of its time but the reality is simply that many of the problems from 150 years ago still persist today...

y'all are jumping for the chicken while I'm jumping for the beef. we are not the same.

Project Hail Mary is one of my favorite books of all time. I highly, strongly, fervently recommend the audiobook. It does something the normal book just can't, and it elevates the experience enough to be my preferred version. As for the movie? DEFINITELY see it after. But also, definitely see it.

also I watched Project Hail Mary and it was really good. Super accurate to the book so part of me was kind of just checking off scenes as they went... I wish I knew what it'd be like to watch it without having read the book though lol.

I think the reason I like Imaginal Disk so much is because how often secret trumpet. I just love when a song that doesn't feel like it should have brass has brass, even if it's only for a little bit. #magdalenabay

in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy

I think the most beautiful thing about art is the fact that it can get misinterpreted... Like obviously it sucks when someone thinks you're condoning something you're condemning but outside of that I just think it's cool how art can change so much depending on different people's interpretations

as much as things have been a bit unpleasant for me recently emotionally the fact that I haven't turned to old crutches and coping mechanisms to get through them is actually fantastic praise God

I had an unfortunate crashout about a week ago in the privacy of my own room but my roommate has been extra nice to me since so I'm thinking my room isn't actually as private as I thought... on one hand I'm actually very appreciative of her kindness on the other hand..... *crinkles into a raisin*

I should play more ragtime on da piano

pray for me gang pray for me

dawg I need to get in touch with my low-pressure hobbies again. I used to bake and cook and stuff like that was fun wha hapen? wha hapen?

maybe I should become a gym rat again

I'M PUTTING WAY TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON MYSELF DAWGGGGGGGG

no more Allan :(

saw an autistic girl at the library with a speech therapist and at one point she said something "sassy" even though I knew it was a genuine question and in a crazy turn of events the therapist was actually nice/regulated about it. I'm really glad to know that exists bc that was def NOT my experience

Recently I had some difficult feelings about stuff pulled up from my past in an admittedly silly/embarrassing way but part of why it's been on my mind so much is simply because I got pretty upset/angry with myself that even after therapy, etc I still had negative feelings about said stuff (cont)

very random complaint and I'm probably being a whiny baby but I genuinely resent having small hands. like there are certain pieces on the piano I will simply never be able to play as originally intended because MY FINGERS CANNOT REACH THE CHORDS

very epic and poggers #scottjoplin www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6oY...

I know a lot of authors wrote stories where troubled/disliked protagonists were secretly divine royalty or whatever to make kids who were troubled/disliked feel better about themselves but I can't help but feel it set up a lot of kids to have an "someday you'll see! I'll show you!" mindset (cont)

I only saw one email thread in the Epstein files but I am actually shaken to my core. I expected it to be bad but what I saw was so evil and depraved I am terrified to know people like this exist in real life. There MUST be justice and elites NEED to stop getting away with things. God help us all.

currently listening to Entry of the Gladiators on repeat as punishment for almost falling for a scam today except barring the songs meme status it's actually really banger especially the brass in the second half so now I'm slightly happy and whimsical again

I got a case of Poppi soda and EW EW EW. This is what I get from deviating form the trite and true classics. (La Croix please sponsor me!)

I feel like such dookie rn.... all I want is to lay in bed and sleep but I feel like I should at least try to get something done today? I slept like 11 hours yesterday

I really liked Wake Up Dead Man

A bit late, but 2026 wooo!!!

Watched The Sting last night with my dad mainly bc of the soundtrack and my dad hadn't seen it in a while and yeah it was decent I get why people like it but imo there were not enough Joplin songs adapted... I thought the movie sounded a bit empty :/ maybe that's an older movie thing tho?
