Seven-word death punch

I have a very specific kind of disorder where I’m very much a regular human creature… except for t h e t h o u g h t s… and it’s mostly impossible to tell which ones are normative and which ones are bizarre delusions

Eating a whole brick of Parmesan cheese must feel like eating an Italian-Style candle

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

If violence is the means, those who have made violence their whole identity will win the battle for this country. But we have more powerful means than violence; we have labor and people power and compassion on our side, and we can win the war with them.

Duolingo Owl messaging me at 4:12am like “you up? I see you’re active on instagram. Maybe you should do a lesson. if you know what’s good for you that is”

Sadly the lack of interaction here (I don’t have many irl friends that use bluesky tbh) has meant I basically only come to this site to shitpost, whine about personal problems I can’t air on instagram, and reply to random things I see on the discover tab. I will keep posting but idk how much

Pretty much everyone only cares about how an event or fact will affect them personally or how it will affect something they want. You learn people’s values from the second part; people who care about others can’t hide it any more easily than those who don’t.

I am just now learning that they call them Ballerinos. Why was I not informed sooner

You’re a romantic? I’ve had hang ups about an ex for 22 years. I’ve been nursing an unspoken crush on a VERY distant friend for 17 years. I’ve been thinking wistfully about a random hookup I had for the last two and a half years. Tell me about your heartache.

Just look at me! Someday you too will realize that you’re the triple threat baddie you always wanted. Cool, hot, and deeply unwell are attainable goals

If you’ve got tattoos, glasses, neurodivergent traits, and unmanaged emotional baggage keeping you from accepting genuine affection given unconditionally by the people you want most, I’m probably already in love with you

"According to the…annual Harris Poll, for the 1st time, a majority of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to democracy. A remarkable 71% believe there should be a wealth tax. A majority believe there should be a cap on how much wealth a person can accumulate." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/o...

In spite of everything, I still love with a love so powerful that it comes bursting out of my chest and spilling all over the floor, even when I want to reject those feelings and keep myself safe and hard and alone. I think I can finally see why it’s a superpower.

Yes, I do wear my goddamned heart on my fucking sleeve, thank you very much

"people with renaissance-level art skills don't exist anymore" yes they do their username is something like 03748218_ and they spend all their time drawing pornography so deranged it'd kill hugh hefner a second time

Who cares if the reason I start posting art again is to try in vain to impress one specific person. I’m allowed to do that

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

Need to decentralize and democratize my search for human validation

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

I like how this is literally his current job that he’s held for 20 years. Congress is supposed to negotiate on our behalf, asshole

all the fake AI trash really contradicts one of the main ways we're told capitalism operates, with capitalists identifying wants/needs & developing products & services to meet those. turns out you can skip that step & just pretend. nigh everyone hates AI and it makes no money but it's everywhere

My brand is “I’m trying to remain alive”

Constancy is the trait of dictators and rocks. Be flexible.

some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think
