The idea that the presence of strong emotion(s) disputes the validity of a person’s argument is at the core of what’s harming us all.

This is why their analysis frustrates them AND us. We feel like they know they’re not being emotionally honest. I’m not sure they always do. More importantly, even if they do, they expect the rest of us not to notice. And when we do notice, to politely ignore it in service of “larger issues.”

we're doing a phantom of the opera themed immersive burlesque cabaret on halloween, it's going to be sexy and queer and beautiful✨

To be short, then, a whale is a spouting fish with a horizontal tail. There you have him.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Gonna write a Charles Bukowski poem. I call it "los angeles winter." whiskey, good women bad but maybe it's the other way around

Comedians are far quieter today than I would have hoped.

You shuddered as you gazed

"there's something intrinsically wrong with trans people" = not ideology "trans people deserve to live in peace" = ideology

all i wanna do is look at clowns i got a feeling that i want to look at clowns

The wizard sleeps fretfully. In the distance, a wolf howls.

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

be very careful about what you post online

my dad died and i miss him so much that i can't even try to make a cute post. regardless, he was awesome.

the room seeming almost supernaturally quiet after these orgies, I began to congratulate myself

sometimes i think my dad's girlfriend has a crush on me, which is weird and uncomfortable because i am not attracted to people under thirty

listening to my uncles talk about "pregnizone"

i need to call my reps and tell them im against a boot stomping a face forever

look, sometimes i hit on my internet crushes when things are Too Much

it’s so crazy you can take ice cubes out of the freezer and you open it up the next day and there’s more in there. mine’s not even connected to the internet

It’s Doc Holliday’s birthday. Here’s the best comeback line in the movies delivered whilst twirling two guns in opposite directions & still holding on to a shot glass. youtu.be/_u5A0H6PkqE?...

losing all consciousness, at last my soul went out of my body; though my body still continued to sway as a pendulum will, long after the power which first moved it is withdrawn
