Local Walmart gets it right (because yes, it’s a box of 4 pomelos, BUT if you buy 2 you’ll get 8 and there you go 88 DOUBLE HAPPINESS CONGRATS) 🧧🏮🧧

Knowing the exact moment I’m done cooking something just as I’m done with cooking it is my adult superpower. If we can eat it and it’s good enough, it’s good enough ✊🏼

Doctor: You're not Pagliacci are you? Patient: Yes I am Doctor: FUCK there goes my idea

sorry i missed the virtual meeting on discord, liz. i got hit with the id verification that happens when the app detects youre young

Fascism cannot produce art that lives because living art relies on unqualified engagement with an other, a challenge to the self. Fascism can only ever conjure an ever more atrociously gilded mirror reflecting back faces that refuse even the realities of time.

Basically anytime you find yourself looking for a synonym for "stupid:" 1. You're probably about to grab an ableist slur, and 2. You should instead find a word that's more precise. Do you mean ridiculous? Shallow? Specious? Absurd? Careless? Inconsistent? Obvious? Cliched? Watered down?

Having nice handwriting isn't impressive, it means you spent too much time as a kid writing things by hand and not enough time as a kid finding clues and solving mysteries.

When someone says I’m not allowed to do something

200 AI books a year? To paraphrase someone smarter than I, darling, that's not writing. That's typing.

Meet my newest creation: Mabel the Interdimensional Spider and Builder of Haunted Labyrinths. I designed and hand-sewed her, and I hand-embroidered all her flowers and markings. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com
