I always feel unreasonably insulted when I pay for something in cash and the cashier checks if the bills are counterfeit. like I don't look trustworthy? 🥺 you don't rock with me? 🥺

chat am I chopped

it's crazy how when I take my glasses off I can't see

found one of my new favorite things: this data science textbook integrated with a cute little infotainment manga.

a little bit of environmental storytelling: someone apparently suffered a defamation of character at the local target

I should say, things aren't all bad. I've been writing again and enjoying it. I have a decent bit of work lined up. I have grown rather fond of someone and for once I feel like it's going somewhere. Considering the start of my year, I'm net positive. It'll keep getting better, I'm sure.

wish it wasn't so hard to get out of a city you absolutely hate living in when your financial situation is so dire. it's easy to feel like your life is just over when you've been trapped in the same muck for so long. I don't know what to do with myself.

Thinking about this cool detail from one of my favorite games, 13 Sentinels. It does a lot to make the '80s Japan setting feel faithful, including styling the in-game idol Miyuki Inaba after the real world Minako Honda. Her "Seaside Vacation" LP is a visual reference to the 1985 album M'Syndrome!!

we got people out there willing to drop a band on akita neru

my life improved significantly when I realized that nobody actually cares if you're formal in emails. I use emojis and type "hehe" and don't bother writing signoffs and everyone loves how delightful and fun I am

I keep getting glimpses of the discourse about that girl that made the bad magical girl video essay, and I have to say: it's really weird that thousands of people are dogpiling her into oblivion. This video would have been seen by maybe 50 people maximum had someone not made a viral tweet about it.

I think I would basically give up my entire life if I could go live in the beautiful feywild where they shot Mariah Carey's "Always Be My Baby" music video

love it when I'm downloading an anime torrent that's so old the description says "files are compatible with PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360." also, shoutout to the absolute freaks that were watching vintage hentai OVAs from the 90s on PS3 lol

never fall in love with a sailor; if they tie your heart into knots, it'll never come undone

I still write slow as fuck on touchscreens because I stubbornly refuse to use gesture typing, but if you gave me a T9 keypad I think I could be capable of 300 words per minute

if your girl doesn't know that you don't capitalize prepositions in the title of a work regardless of length, leave her. you can do better

message that oomf today. ask for her hand in marriage. it will work

I had an interesting night. I spontaneously joined a voice chat to listen to someone I've never spoken to before build furniture at 2am. we talked about visual novels for a couple of hours and she complimented my knowledge of random otaku bullshit. cool lol

really not a fan of what the weather getting cold does to my mood. I'm going to be locked in spiritual warfare until March

checked my phone after taking a nap to find that the last thing I searched for while barely conscious was "nyquil chicken"

my most unusual retail therapy impulse in a while. I'm thinking nonstop lately about how bad I want a vibraslap

D'Angelo wrote songs for people that loved with their entire heart; he had songs for the brokenhearted; for people afraid to try again; and for those ready to overcome their fears. fortunately and unfortunately, I can relate to all of them.

I'm just in total disbelief that D'Angelo passed away. Not even sure what to say. He made three perfect albums. Wrote, produced, and played on tons of classics. He still had more to give and left us way too soon. RIP.

I'm normally too embarrassed to talk about my life on here without at least a couple layers of abstraction, but things are kind of getting better for me and I'm a little bit happy. yay.

scrolled all the way back to the beginning of my bsky feed hyping myself up like "wow I'm so good at posting"

I love the way I can barely remember what I was doing just an hour ago, but my brain has permanent long term storage reserved for the lyrics to hundreds of mountain goats songs

it's been dogging me for weeks now that the coffee shop nearby suddenly closed down before I finally worked up the nerve to ask the barista that has been flirting with me for years for her number. let this be a lesson: live fearlessly and with no regrets.

the only thing in this world that feels better than sex is running the update_all script on the MiSTer FGPA

just filed two invoices that I waffled on for more than five months because I didn't feel like I deserved money for my labor. please clap for me.

got called a slut on the other website for making a joke about getting backshots after the autechre concert. lol

seeing how bad my gag reflex is when I brush my teeth is a practically foolproof method for determining if I'm gonna have a good day or not. if I'm weak of spirit, my toothbrush knows before I do

I think pitchfork should invite northernlion to write a sunday review on bob dylan

you don't realize the degree to which pencil sharpeners totally disappear from your life after you leave middle school until you need to sharpen a colored pencil and the only thing you have available is a pocket knife

it's so depressing how bad almost all music media sites are at covering anything coming out of asia. I feel like there's so little excuse for this blind spot to be so huge when young music listeners are more tapped in than ever.

the laundry situation is so dire today that I almost put on a cosplay instead of normal clothes

I feel silly even complaining about this, but it's been hard to really put my all into my usual passions with my country coming apart at the seams. nothing I love to do really feels important anymore and it makes sitting down to write so hard.

not religious at all, but the florid prose of the king james bible has infected my speech to an absurd degree. I flirt with girls by calling their feminine charms principalities and powers, spiritual wickedness in high places, granted by the rulers of darkness of this world.

they should invent a discord status that actually means do not disturb and not just "online but red"

a fun thing about having curly hair is that errant strands will sometimes make delightful little shapes when they stick to the walls of the shower. I saw one today that looked like a cute long-necked dinosaur

one of my favorite weird objects in my possession: this conversion software for the visual novel Suika that turns the game into a gameboy advance ROM. such an interesting little relic of the early 2000s doujin scene

good mail day. more manga to sit atop my unshelved piles of books

anybody wanna admit they have a crush on me before the rapture happens?

I love being a beautiful brown woman

waking up from a sexy dream in a cold sweat is so annoying like. I was having fun. let me back in there

watching the umamusume anime and even when I know special week will win the race I still cry and feel incredible pride as if I trained her myself

thinking about how much music white people aren't aware of simply because they have never attended a black wedding. there's a whole canon of wedding songs you don't hear basically anywhere else these days. where else you hearing Brian McKnight? Jagged Edge? Eric Benét? K-Ci & JoJo?

no bigger confidence boost than having a day where my hair looks really good

it's a little bit wild how helpless people can be with finding music these days. I had a post pop off a little bit on twt and there's mad people asking me to help them find the albums. there's youtube uploads for all of them lol

can we all agree that True Love Story: Remember My Heart is one of the cutest jewel case experiences of all time

I need to figure out a way to make my computer beep like a microwave when my torrents are done downloading
