the markets have spoken and they're woke and gay

i hate gay Halloween what do you mean you're boymode Wendy Carlos from her 1970 BBC presentation on synthesizers, complete with fake mutton chops

Twitter is down and my first instinct was to post about it on Twitter which I couldn't do because Twitter is down which I thought was really funny so I went to go post about it on Twitter but I couldn't do that because

>looking for new book >ask shop owner if the philosophy section is actually philosophy or just self-help >he doesn't understand >pull out illustrated diagram explaining what's philosophy and what's self-help >he laughs & says "it's a good section sir" >go there >it's self-help

i don't know whether the general disdain I feel for people whose primary social circles haven't changed since they were very young is because I identify in that a lack of growth and personal development, or because I'm jealous they can have such lifelong connections and grieve my ability to do so

it's less that I don't fear the forces of reaction and it's more that I recognize the forces of reaction will always exist commensurate to forces of progress; the backlash and violence is because they know they are losing and a generation will see them dead when reaction takes new forms

really feels like there's been a turn away from judging art by whether it portrays Good Things where the implication is depicting harm is the same as endorsing it, and thank god for that. felt like the worst, most banal hall monitor personalities had the final say on everything for a while there.

starting to wonder if "the more specifically manicured and legible one's personal aesthetic is, the more likely it is that they're an incredibly boring person past the aesthetic" is a heuristic I should adopt

at a stoner metal show fully sober like "oh god everyone knows I'm not high don't they"

I know Kendall Roy's finsta would go fucking crazy

you need to be earnestmaxxing. you should approach everything with calm but vulnerable honesty. you need to be sinceritypilled, entering your genuine-and-guileless era. you should be a total candorchad in whose presence irreverencecels can only seethe

RT is TeleSur's Wario

I've never understood the praise for Barry; I'm caught up & trying really hard to enjoy it but all I can think is "when does this get good" and there are 2 episodes left. Very well-acted, great production value, but such mediocre uninteresting writing. It's the most aggressively mid show I've seen.

parapolitics guys are just Pynchonian gooners for a police state believing their aesthetic recognition of authoritarianism to be the same thing as a critique of it

what did he mean by this

the venn diagram of people who seek out advice telling them they're not "too much" and people who are absolutely too much and would stand to benefit from being told they're too much is unfortunately a circle

I think everything about me makes sense when I realize I'm just an astrology girly in denial

check my boss' calendar because I need to schedule time to chat with him notice an event called "return to office planning meeting" it's so over

the B in BDSM stands for Bataille

old school technical death metal is 4min songs about acid with inexplicable jazzy elevator music breaks, modern technical death metal is 12 minute songs all called like "ground to dust under the heel of the cosmic dominatrix (the stars are our innards)" with a time signature change every 3.5 seconds

they need to add a circles feature so I can facedoxx myself

you don't see people being pulled off stage by a hook for poor performances anymore

every time I introduce a bad bitch to Bataille an angel gets its wings

took a week off stimulants other than a cup of coffee a day and felt so much better physically and mentally but so much dumber and less capable. didn't feel a craving for other stimulants. took Adderall again today and it was like putting my brain against a whetstone

calling it now and with no pleasure that Judge Holden is going to be the next "literally me" character

are invite codes based on # of posts, # of followers, time spent here, or does no one really know

an anti-novel where the narrator stops every 7 pages to present long, excruciatingly detailed explanations of why a certain character of plot beat is "problematic" and why they don't personally endorse it would be a terribly annoying but superlatively funny read imo

i think the whole "a platform only succeeds when there are villains on it" thing is stupid and only applies to highly reactive, polarized communities whose identities revolve around negating everything the other side is; for everyone else this kinda environment is prohibitive and unpleasant

i keep having the I Don't Have Interesting Enough Thoughts insecurity so by posting this (skeeting this? 🤔💦) I'm telling myself to fuck off and giving myself permission to not try to have interesting thoughts and just treat this place like my note taking app with an audience

Call me Shinzo Abe the way she blow out my back with her thingamajig

not sure how much I'll use this platform but I gotta say the vibe here is so much better because I don't feel like I have to preempt every wilfully obtuse scoldy misinterpretation before I write something
