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 relate to strongly to Jack Skellington, a dreamer with a vision getting frustrated that the normies aren’t getting it, while being simultaneously oblivious to the fact that he’s probably dumber than all of them put together.

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

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

Believe in me, and I’ll believe in you.

Why oh why did I choose to hook up with so many cool people with interests in common with me

Self-deprecator?? I hardly know her! Therapist: We’ve already discussed the issue of deflecting from your problems with humor

discussed this in seminar yesterday, albeit with reference to “race science” generally. If you understand science as a historical phenomenon then the question is what was science then, not whether it would count as science now, and the implication is that what science is now is not forever, either

Not gonna lie, it feels like you won the internet argument when 2 days afterwards all of the other person’s posts are gone and they blocked you

Always curious to see people who lob insults as baseline discourse having open conflict with other similarly disposed individuals. You would think folks with one brain cell would like each other
