Probably the most embarrassing thing I've done was date a ukulele Tumblr boy

I'm so glad to be the boring side character sometimes

If I had a nickel for every time somebody I knew in highschool was indicted on federal terror charges, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice

Holy shit it's weird processing the passage of time. What do you mean I came out officially 14 years ago

...I see like 5 of my exes in this. Oh g-d

Autism is great because you skip out on so much boredom in life thanks to all the Problems you create

Ughhh I don't want to go to work

internet-raised transfems need to get a grip and stop thinking and talking like this about themselves and each other

Good night my lovely little birds and may you all fly home safely

Ngl it's fun to make a billionaire squirm for once in my life because I got to take off a marginal percent of his net worth for fucking with my art time

What is it with the people who feel the need to tell you they're progressive rather than just doing it always being he first to weaponize some bigoted bullshit for leverage?

Ugh I've had a ridiculous headache today

Some people in life you'll love, but they'll be safest to love from a distance

It's still funny that when my ex and I met I was doing relationship anarchy and by the end of the relationship she still managed to create a scenario where she was cheating on me. Like how do you manage that?

I've been in nonethical nonmonogamy (cheating, I'm still not sure how she manahed that) and nonethical monogamy (spousal abuse) and I can support this tbh

Sometimes I think the only thing saving me from developing paranoia that my wife found a new way to spy on me is that I know how bad she is with actually following through on anything

Ngl I really wish it was logistically easier to get divorced here abd there wasn't some ridiculous waiting period

This is still just the funniest thing ever

Why is it that whenever I have to give a lecture I start getting a migraine like 30 minutes beforehand???

I just think that if you're part of a group with a constant spotlight on your every move that you're probably more tired from that than somebody who gets deniability (don't get me wrong it's still awful both because of the hate and self denial) and can just avoid it for a bit

Ugh I fucking hate having a body and hate dealing with existing sometimes

It's actually really nice that Bluesky is notifying Alex of the subpoena. A lot of tech companies simply comply and don't notify the targets

If you've ever wondered what LLMs are like for developers, I have a friend from school who got shoved into developing agentic systems. He's slow rolling them because they're meant to fuck people over, but also it's absolutely impossible to get them to stop lying because they don't "know" anything

I swear I'm like this close to crashing out over AWS

Bleh I want to support queer artists and creatives but my old job is still fucking me over so I don't have money right now

Good news, my Ko-fi was reinstated This is ONLY to support me as a journalist and is ONLY intended as such. I’ve even changed the PFP to my irl face ko-fi.com/acvalens

It's kind of weird how both times this has happened it was some asshole taking advantage of a time I was particularly vulnerable and had just lost a large chunk of my community (like actual, local community)

Messaging my friend to apologize for bringing such a mess into her life and making her worry because wow yeah she really wasn't doing well for a while there over my situation

Bleh I really should've washed my hair last night

What the actual fuck is my life

I still can't believe last night was real. What the fuck

What an odd night

Good night my lovely little birds and may you all find your way home safely

It's so weird going back to the music I thought was really cringe but reminds me of my friend who loved it. It's weirdly grown on me

Richard and Riley have fundamentally similar problems they deal with in different ways. They both avoid their problems. Richard by literally running away from them, Riley by pretending they don't exist.

Hey weird question but like, how much should I read into this? When my wife is driving aggressively and I hit my head on something and ask her to drive more gently she says she doesn't know what it could be, but the same day if her friends say it she offers to drive more carefully

Ugh I can't even talk to her right now because it just feels like anything I say will get turned into a fight

I'm not usually one for being stepped on, but I could go for being kicked right now

Idk how asking the dog girl if she was getting a collar at the pet store was bullying her. Also for the record, she *did* get one.

You know what? It's fucking weird that I had to hide my meds from my wife for months to keep her from stealing shit

For different people, accountability can take different forms. For me personally, it’s less about what a person does, and more specifically what they don’t. If they refuse to apologize or listen, or if they actively silence their victims legally so they don’t have to? No accountability there.

Holy shit I hate headache days

Fucking weird finding out and acquaintance is still defending Cuomo even after the guy admitted to shit. Like from my interactions with this guy it's not surprising and I wouldn't want to be in the same room as him, but wow

I just want to not have to fight as soon as I get in the door after work

I think it's important to remember that everyone online is deeply weird

It's weirdly helpful writing about shit I'm dealing with because that lets me get some dispationate distance to actually make sense of things

Fucking love being accused of faking being upset because I get nervous laughter when somebody gets really close to me and starts saying I'm not *actually* upset with something

Oh oh but no tall men!
