So, my mother has become a conspiracy theorist, but I can't be too upset about it because the conspiracies she's buying into are like "Donald Trump has antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea" and "they're gonna send unmarried people to internment camps, so I need a gun".

She's touring this year and I think I'm going to try to see her in Cincinnati

I had to break down Sally Rooney's ouvre to a customer earlier. If you liked NORMAL PEOPLE but wish the characters were nicer, try BEAUTIFUL WORLD If you liked NORMAL PEOPLE but wish they were meaner, try CONVERSATIONS WITH FRIENDS If you didn't like NORMAL PEOPLE try INTERMEZZO.

It's been a wild couple of weeks. Changed my work schedule, started a bunch of new meds, had ICE come to our door, and just learned on Saturday that my former best friend from college (we are not friends now, and have not been for years) has cancer... so I'm having a lot of feelings.

"Fluorescent Adolescent" is "Landslide" for millennials.

I have really complicated feelings about cis women writing erotica about queer men, because I do think it's helpful for women who are trying to suss some things out about their own identity, but it also almost always feels voyeuristic and poorly handled.

Acid flashback in the middle of cleaning my apartment, had to pause and dissolve into an infinity of pulsating flesh and sucking, desperate desire before I could finish wiping down the bathroom.

I do have to wonder if at least part of the reason why conservatives focus so much on the concept of family is because they are bad at making and keeping friends.

Plot Twist! Coming up again, Saturday, December 6th at Clintonville Books. Take a break from the holiday doldrums to see a little show. Tickets on sale now. #Columbus #Ohio #burlesque #sober

What if Marge Simpson was your gay uncle: that's me, Brad Walker.

You are not "gooning". No one is "gooning". I don't believe you.

The concept for this movie is such a heterosexual monstrosity. What do you mean she has to pick which of her dead husbands she's going to spend the afterlife with? Why can't she have both? Even in death you people are shackled to monogamy? That's sick.

2026 is going to be the year me and Matt figure out where we're gonna move. We've got some loose plans to check out Chicago and Minneapolis. I'm so excited, I want out of Ohio so bad 🥲

We will only be rid of the Male Loneliness Epidemic when more men start sucking dick.

Late to the gay party, but Addison Rae's album has like four absolute bangers... which is more bangers than a lot of albums have! The rest feels inconsequential.

I heard about 15 seconds of "Adore You" by Harry Styles over the tinny, Meijer in-store radio over a week ago and it has been stuck in my head EVER SINCE.

Dick Chaney dying the day before election day has to be a good omen, right?

old bitch

Halloween is a very wholesome holiday where everyone dresses up as dead bodies. Christmas is a really unwholesome holiday where everyone spends money they don't have, get really stressed out, and act a fool in retail spaces.

Gay people are a lot rattier than they used to be and I'm honestly so grateful for that.

I do feel like there's a weakness in people who want their browser histories scrubbed after they. You're dead, what do you care? I encourage everyone to check my history after my unfortunate demise. You're just gonna find fat guy porn and definitions for words I've used all the time for years.

One (1) sip of Coke and my entire worldview is changed. Who cares that they're tearing down the White House? The heat death of the universe is imminent anyway.

We should have another weekend where we all think the president is dead again soon.

For an infamous as the movie adaptation is for being violent and gorey, the book is kind of a slowburn. Straight guy horror: what if I was dishonest to a hot young girl and she tortured me for it.

"Have you watched--" No, no I haven't. I haven't watched a scripted television program since Santa Clarita Diet was cancelled. The last movie I saw was the Barbie movie and that was the first time I'd been to the movies since 2014, and that was to watch the then-new DBZ movie (no not That One).

I'm just gonna cancel my subscription to everything. Everyone is too evil at this point, and it's not like I've got money to burn anyway.

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

There is a style of writing that I don't really have a name for. It's like whimsical but sinister, and unserious at face value while talking about a dire set of circumstances. Reminds me a lot of old Kelly Link. Anyway, I'm loving this book! The writing is superb.

They're not from Marietta apparently. What a waste.

You had me at "trans girl utopian death cult"

I have experienced Wawa. It is just small Sheetz. The food is comparable but marginally worse (not enough for me to really care), but I did enjoy their donuts.

People should just be allowed to say "fuck" on television. We've got real problems; this is so trite.

This happens so much more often here than it did on twitter (or any other social medium), but any time someone who isn't a mutual comments on something I post (unless I'm promoting something) it just feels like "who asked you? how did you get here???"

Occasionally I'm reminded that Kathy Bates is in a reboot of Matlock that's been going on for a WHILE and I'm just stunned.

Accusing queer people of corrupting children is a tactic of violence to prevent queer youth from having mentors.

Still time to get those tickets Colubus

Honestly, less than a million dollars probably.

I've got seven days to sell ten tickets to my seasonally appropriate drag show at the bookstore. Let's get spooky. #Columbus #Ohio #drag

Imagine stanning a politician.

Far be it from me to defend a politician but, Kamala Harris is getting a lot of flack for saying she didn't pick Pete Buttigieg as her runningmate because she didnt think Americans would vote for a black woman and a gay man--and I just have to say, it's my homosexual opinion that she's fucking right

I haven't gotten a good night's sleep since this time last week and yet I must work(?!) ... This is unacceptable.

All tea, just because I think you're stupid, and boring, and I don't respect you doesn't mean I wish you any harm.

There are a lot of authors I love that I see people call boring all the time, and it really brings out the elitist in me because I just want to be like "WELL CLEARLY YOU ARE NOT EMOTIONALLY MATURE OR INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO APPRECIATE THEIR BEAUTY!" but I always reel myself back in. *growth*

Halfway through: it's one of the best haunted house novels I've read in years, and probably the best Rachel Harrison book since Such Sharp Teeth. I'm REALLY enjoying it. #booksky

I've spent a lot of time with punks, and I've spent a lot of time with hippies and what I've found is punks are often NOT A FUN HANG but have a good moral compass, while hippies are fun to hang out with but are often morally gray-to-bankrupt.

Waluigi Mangione.

I was suddenly reintroduced to Moody's Point, the 5-minute Dawson's Creek parody skit from the Amanda Show, and I'm sorry but the theme bangs so furiously that they should have called it Lilith's Fair. I'm putting this in the store playlist, idgaf.

Anyway, I hope we're all saving our empathy for someone who didn't denounce the concept of empathy whole cloth.
