"Car dealership that disappears political dissidents" really does feel like the form America has been building to this whole time.

Visiting friends in New York

Can't overstate how much a steady non-freelance job would change my entire life. I don't even need to like it. It doesn't even need to be fabulous pay, just good enough. Shit is so dire in the day-to-day to survive I can't even focus on how the nation-at-large is also fucked 🫠

The Ides of March 44 BC is notorious as the day that Roman senators wore pink to protest the actions of Julius Caesar

All of my crimes will be tallied up like a lottery machine winning the jackpot as I stand in front of the gates of heaven

In this Ohio diner, it was a tradition: steak with ketchup, a can of diet coke, then go on camera to scream at an ally for being "disrespectful" on tv. But now the woke mob is taking all of that away.

Back working at the theater that has a bar all week

Big Monday Mood

The existence of a pope in 2025 is embarrassing but I appreciate that we do sometimes get lore drops from Pedo Londo like oh they've gathered together to do the ritual of the passing of papal shoes which involves a golden staff and an italian cobbler who cannot die

Imagine being this relaxed ever

Wow! I can't believe I did it. I found the Worst Vape. Unreal. Got a horchata disposable from a brand I usually like, and I thought it would lean towards sweet and cinnamon. But no. They seem to have leaned into the milk aspect. It's like a savory vape.

I want to hunt elon through a forest

Face of a woman who did not know it was a holiday and could have slept in longer but instead is now just 20 minutes early to work.

One of my favorites

Do you need a Valentine? Gil Faizon will be that Valentine.

Crime on the rise in this country along with rising consumer costs. This woman just stole my eggs right off my plate!

Morning 405 is going so good I just saw two dudes throw the car in park, turn it off, and both get out to move something into the trunk so I assume I'll be late to work.

My Lyft driver is using his GPS in the mode where it's always North and your little icon moves along it but the map doesn't move with you and while I knew that was technically a thing that was possible I have never seen anyone actually do it and it feels like psychopath behavior

Buying a new (to me) car today and my biggest question is why is the soundtrack in the Toyota dealership all club beats.

RIP to the realest bumper I ever had. I will miss this car so much 😔

they say "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" well i don't want to be strong, i want to drink iced coffee and read books and take naps.

Through the teachings of God and the Bible I have learned Lightning. I have learned lightning fucking bolt.

Love the 7-11 cause the guy behind the counter is never concerned with whatever this is I have going on. Fun fact: I only bought this canned coffee cause I completely forgot the entire section of 7-11 that is just coffee existed even though I, too, was in the store.

Caturday

While I objectively understand how rich the Asian food culture is in LA and how lucky I am to have it, there are some nights (like tonight) where I crave some NY/East Coast style Chinese food so badly I can almost taste it and it literally just doesn't exist here.

Shout-out to my neighbors who are once again being extremely patient with "she's using her half of the garage to build something" season

Watching The Pitt and someone comes into the ER who is called the "chief rigger" at a festival who had a speaker tower come down on him and I was completely fine with my suspension of disbelief til he said he didn't want drugs cause he had to "supervise the crew at the put-in"

Got hired to build a pretty basic prop. I can see the shape of it in my head, but every time I try and draw it to do the buying math it becomes so confusing I worry I won't deliver it right. It's essentially a box. I have made tons of boxes. This should be simple why am I like this

Shout-out to my therapist who asked about my mug this morning and absolutely did not get why it was funny to me but pretended to anyway

despite my best efforts, coffee is not, in fact, food

what’s this? a crowdsourced spreadsheet tracking price gouging scumbag landlords in los angeles in light of the wildfires?? docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Once again having Big Thoughts about Billy Joel's Glass Houses, an extremely normal thing for a 36-year-old to be doing at 12:30 a.m. on a Sunday.

Everything is awful but then again look at this cat.

Sleepy Sunday Boy

Gil Faizon doesn't even know what a wildfire is. It must be nice.

"Bring me pictures of Spider-Man. sexy, sexy pictures of Spider-Man. Ones where he's throwing it back. Ones where he's busting it down, sexual style. You know the pictures I want. Bring me those pictures of Spider-Man!"

Like so many others, I've been deeply reliant on Watch Duty the last few days, a nonprofit fire wildfire tracking service. I made a donation to their work, because I have no doubt that it has literally saved lives this week. app.watchduty.org

"I'm leaving Facebook in protest! I'm leaving Threads in protest! I'm leaving Instagram in protest! I'm leaving X in protest! TikTok is getting banned!" GOOD. WE SHOULD LEAVE IT ALL. WE SHOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE. RETURN US TO THE DAYS WHEN WE HAD NO IDEA WTF OUR FRIENDS WERE DOING UNLESS WE ASKED THEM.

Clear break room evidence of "pizza party" condolence prize attempt (for having to be at work during a citywide emergency)

Back at the job I had to leave yesterday and we did okay for the first two and a half hours with a morning nebulizer + N95 but it wore off and now I'm back to having to take the rescue inhaler coughing so hard I just had to go heave so that's cool 😎

A very cool place to live, surrounded by incidents but also somehow not in danger LA is fucked up this is so bad
