how many more layers of nonchalant irony do you think you'll need in order to disappear completely

what you need to understand is that it's actually okay for me to be a reprehensible piece of shit because I am doing it for self-care

me imagining myself doing something really difficult and thinking “I could probably do that” (it is actually very easy in my imagination)

if you want to remember all the conversations you've had the last week just look at the products amazon thinks you might be interested in buying

Every time doctors take my blood (and it happens at least twice a year) they invent some bizarre new way to find a vein.

I don't even post about politics that much here on Bluesky because it feels silly to taint the place with the sort of vile bullshit from Twitter, but whenever I do see politics here it's civil and intellectual

When I was a teenager there was a way I thought I would feel about myself when I was 20, having both planted and ready to experience adventure. I am gonna be 30 next month and now is the first time in my life I actually feel that way.

I would like to thank whatever forces of the universe are in charge of my fate because the ball has been rolling up for me recently and I appreciate that.

the funniest shit is when a city has two football teams and one of them is called "United"

Obama has a great voice for nature documentaries but whenever I hear him talk about how important it is for "us" to save the planet I always think "one of us was the most powerful man in the world for 8 years and nature is still fucked"

My complaint with AI isn't that I think it'll cause an apocalypse or put everyone out of work. It's that I know what they really want it for, which is to offload responsibility. They want a machine to make the decisions so they, the humans in charge, can't be blamed.

shoutout to my doctor who considers "making some calls to psychiatrists who might be able to do an ADHD diagnosis" part of my medical care. Calling a a ton of doctors only for them to turn you down is one of the hardest parts of the process and he is just doing it for me.

A patriotic campaign to build a high speed rail network in the US in honour of the fact that the country was built on rail would be such an unbelievable slam dunk. Name the trains after horse breeds and the lines after gunslinger heroes, it would be so easy.
