competition based reality television is a fkn plague

a big part of the story of the first half of the twenty first century is how celebrity (distinct from talent) allowed some of the worst people in modern american history to smash everything to pieces, and it’s something we should probably solve for if we want the rest of it to go better

People in the local gardening group said Asian pears grow well here and I just ate an autumn moon pear that had a few seeds already sprouting so I'ma try it, but I think I'm just on the border of it being too warm here. I mean it's a Japanese pear and Japan is hella further north than Florida

All I know is it's nice to have a movie where I can look at Paul Newman and also be interested in the plot vs the many "dude movies" he's in where I'm like "meh, bored, but he sure is pretty" 😆

I also had to get some Chinese eggplants, look how long this one is (bananas for comparison) 😆

Rereading Animal Farm bc I just need something short and easy bc I'm dumb rn and I haven't read this since 7th grade when Bill Clinton was president, so I thought I might have a different perspective now

Lol omg this would've been right up my alley

Finally went back to the Asian grocery to get Japanese sweet potatoes and those pears I like and I'm happy to report I still love these dang sweet potatoes bc I bought 11 of them 😆 Hoping to plant 1 or 2, but it's gonna be hard bc I wanna eat them all.

Happy first birthday to Red Wolves Oak and Adeyha’s pups: Riley, Rusty, and Georgie!🐺🎉 🎥Watch them live: https://nywolf.org/meet-our-wolves/webcams/webcam-red-wolves-oak-adeyha/

I have to try every La Croix flavor. I didn't know what "sunshine" flavor was, but I'd say it's kinda citrus-y. Orange, I think? I like it.

I am impressed how the Europeans who for centuries called European Jews, "palestinians", "levantines" and so on, after brutally murdering and displacing them, decided to make the survivors honorary white Europeans and blame them for Europes long bloody history of colonization and even Naziism.

Ok this book is making me want to write. I used to write stories so much in my youth, they came easy. But since becoming an adult and maybe after having to write so much through high school and college, I just stopped. And that is sad tbh

Speaking of bloomscrolling and photos you wish could be scratch and sniff, passed this WALL of jasmine the other day and it smelled SO GOOD

More bloomscrolling 🌸

Now I need more bookshelves

Lol at cats being like "I want to be more cultured and expand my palate with tastes from the global South"

I just watched 127 Hours after years of just assuming I couldn't handle it, but I was eating an apple during the amputation scene and felt weirdly chill about it

Finally got em all (until the 5th one comes out lol) White one is new

BLOOMSCROLLING 😍

Do people in non-vegan circles know what nooch is? Like is that a known abbreviation for nutritional yeast or if I said that around people who aren't fucking hippies would they be like WTF?

That sucks. I enjoy watching Subway Takes, but had a feeling it was only a matter of time before the host said something dumb on this topic (aka agreeing with Casablancas' dumbass take)

Honestly didn't go as wild as usual on half price day lol Fiction was pretty picked over but I'd loaded up on that Saturday. Just picked up the most random ass shit, honestly. Best find was the one missing volume of Robert Caro's LBJ bio

Such weak ass soft ass people. Running around screaming about shit they don't know nothing about. You people who trashed Harris has killed a ton of people and if you don't vote or vote incorrectly, your ass will get ate up too. Its coming.

Ummm, tell this ignorant guy why it was mandated in first place. This war on science will kill us all. I will never not be mad with you lazy ass nonvoters and those who supported Uncommitted.

Thinking about if anyone actually likes oatmeal or if people just eat it bc it's healthy? Which, idk, there are so many other healthy foods that suck less than oatmeal so I still don't get it lol

It’s Americans naivety is why politicians are opting to play in your face about our relationship with Israel.

Dear liberals: Iran is not going to save you from Trump

Share some of the best eyes in movies. 👀 #FilmSky 🎥

Why would anyone want that unless every individual family member is Eddie Murphy

So this is basically just the same shit Republicans say about immigrants and poor people.

I regret all my complaining about Florida being humid af because half the state is on fire rn and we could really use some of that humidity to come back 😭

Warfare

as shown by him having never ever fought for progressive change in his first 40 years of life.

Americans really need to learn that more than one person in the world is horrible and dishonest.

OoooOOOoooh!

Wow, that's such a pretty color!

Ok, I'ma sound like a Republican, but people have gotten too damn soft and easily offended. It's a JOKE. Most ppl who run Boston have to qualify and are serious runners. Just bc something doesn't include every person's possible scenario doesn't mean it's offensive ffs

Today in "movies that make me contend with how bad my anxiety has gotten" I just saw Uptown Girls for the first time and found I identified way too much with Dakota Fanning's character BEFORE Brittany Murphy gives her a fkn chill pill lol

Update: much schvitzing

Yesterday was trying to explain to my mom why many Israelis or Iranians support Trump bc they ofc don't gaf about our domestic concerns. They care that the Iranian regime puts them in physical danger & so if the US GOP does big "we're gonna fk up the Ayatollah" talk, they're gonna support it

I hate that I tense up worrying for her safety etc where if she was representing basically any other country, holding their flag, I would not have this response

It was 55° at 7am which was lovely for running, but it's supposed to hit 93° this afternoon and that seems like a crazy jump! I'ma be schvitzing y'all.

Some of y'all follow this antisemitic Nazi dick sucker who is probably not even real. This just screams op, but it has a lot of followers. Shit like this is gonna lose us elections bc ppl can't tell/don't want to believe this is not a real person.

Going to the book sale soon. What classics are missing from this list?

Still haven't decided on a novel, but I'm currently reading this bc of Ted Lasso 😆

Update: I'm having to finish it tonight bc it's too damn long for my shitty attention span rn but when the lizards start running around NYC I'm like "this just looks like Florida"

What classic novels are good to read when your anxiety is so bad it's made you a dumbass who can't focus on anything? Ig I'm looking for something either comforting or distracting, but relatively easy... idk?

Watching the Spider-Man with Andrew Garfield after already seeing the Tobey Maguire & Tom Holland versions & after he gets bitten by the spider I'm like "oh shit he's gonna start noticing powers" & in the past I'd been envious but now I realize it'd just give me anxiety & I'd be googling my symptoms
