just reflecting on how, during the height of the covid lockdowns, declining to enter my parents' house to setup their new printer was raised as an egregious breach of filial piety

idk if i can white guy buddhism my way out of this one

yeah they're called blink 182 because when you hear their music you turn 182 degrees and walk away

begrudgingly admitting (with gritted teeth and no eye contact) that london is a pretty cool and fun city, actually

they call me Ryoji Ikeda bc i may have a lot of data to hand but i always present it in the most overwhelming way possible

i know this is going to lose me followers but i'm not too big to admit i regularly wear a beret. this did not, howver, prevent me from being offended when someone saw me wearing it and said "ah yeah, you seem like the kind of person that would wear a beret". you what.

you need to be a bit more careful with that, I know we hear "chopped" getting thrown around a lot these days but it's really only been reclaimed for use by obviously busted uncs

just taking a moment to think of the kindly guy who, after towing my written off car, helpfully pointed out that the tyres were wearing unevenly so might need to look at that

forcing a smile and breathing in deeply to invite his heart to soften, the great khan looked upon the wreckage in his wake and felt the burden of leadership lift a little

I'll have 99 bottles of beer from that wall there. Take them down agonizingly slowly, if you would. Wait no, start backwards from 99. In song please

this is the labyrinth of shame and there's a damn good reason they call me the minotaur

oh man they started putting the hypnotics in my drinky bottle water again can't wait to suckle

the secret to a good conversation? why, it's all in the meticulous preparation. keeps the rhythm fluid and the vibe organic.

hey everyone, recommend your sunshine music. albums preferred!

conceiving of the part of myself that’s always seeking out problems i can involve myself in as a scheming vizier is genuinely helpful

every American should be given a little runty pig thats been abandoned and nobody cares about but you and you feed it from a baby bottle and teach it tricks and its so cute but then all the nations fathers are like "pigs are for bacon! we're gonna kill that pig!!" and everyones like nooo not my pig

The Chinese revolution made one critical mistake and that was to use rhetorically the phrase "running dogs" to be bad. Have you ever seen dogs run, fuck can they run and happy to do it. We should all be so lucky

precious little.

watch out everybody that white boy has an irrepressible drive for humiliation

🙄

You are not permitted to speak. The council of elders has brought you here today to account for the crime of traumadumping.

oh this version looks promising actually. will update my firmware asap!

people talk about the mediterranean so so much (probably because of the beautiful climate and excellent food) but very few people are willing to discuss the subterranean and that can make life very isolating for mole-like creatures such as myself

my friends, the witch transfigured me into an apple tree and what used to be my genitals is being annihilated by mites

all i want is cozier doom metal

Scully let's split up. I'll interview this beautiful botanist and you go check out the sewer system full of human bones

this has absolutely rearranged my perception of the world. keep muttering it to myself. eye of newt is mustard seeds. mental.

vibe perpetually askew on bluesky atm

on an alternate note, this morning when I was doing my metta bhavana meditation I genuinely drew a blank when trying to think of someone I know personally towards whom I feel bitterness or resentment.

look i’m not even going to pretend i’m keeping up with all the awful news or doomy posting, i’ve taken up more fulfilling activities (looking out of my darkened back window and watching my neighbours’ security lights flipping in and off)

in case you needed some help unpacking it

when i was out walking i saw an aging, fed-up horse. when i went to the gate to give him a sugarlump, he looked me dead in the eye and said “the worst thing about a midlife crisis is knowing it’s cliched and cringe makes it worse, not better”. i stroked his mane and left him to his blues rock.

i’m an aries and i listened to this so much ironically that it accidentally became a key part of my identity and self esteem. whole channel is a marvel, tuck in.

police questioning maduro like so you're president huh? what's that like

The US pursues the dumbest course of action possible and, after splitting its trousers and falling into a barrel of water, tells the UK we’re in another fine mess. Then we just sit there and cry about it.

i’m taking a really bold position here on blue sky dot com. first of all, CSAM? bad news! moreover, i’m pretty fed up of elon musk and his website, X. sorry for pushing the boat out hope this doesn’t alienate anyone on diet twitter.

st augustine of hippo

can’t quite recall how i got here

they’re playing Koenji Hyakkei in the Burger King

smear some margerine on a cream cracker

they build a lot of these "market hall" things in armpit towns. It's a sort of invocation ritual for the spirit of regeneration. The food is often lacklustre.

Often if the light within you has switched from solid red to flashing green it means you are trying to reestablish a connection to others

just ate a cheap packet of hot and sour soup. guess which two adjectives i wouldn’t use to describe it.

she stood there in the doorway, dress shifting slightly in the breeze and I couldn’t help but compare her to a cold glass of long milk after a hard days worbe

gone too hard on spurting ink past few days now feel sore in some sorta gland

In the delicatessen fucked up on plums

pissin

i stopped setting new year's resolutions for myself, they never worked for me, but i do like woody guthrie's list of new year's rulin's. they work at any time of year, actually. keep hoping machine running. dream good.
