I think somehow it still hasn’t actually hit that I now live in a totally new spot and I’m so much closer to everything I care about It’s really nice to not have to do a $25 uber every night to get home

nightclubs are interesting because they feel like a safe space for me, a deeply neurodivergent person, to learn to flirt

NEW: The Pentagon told journalists it will require them to pledge they won’t gather any information — even unclassified — that hasn’t been expressly authorized for release, and will revoke the press credentials of those who do not obey. @washingtonpost.com

Literally every time I have ordered a new iPhone for the last 3-4 years, UPS has “tried” to deliver it and “failed” with literally zero attempt to actually deliver it

the worst people will always land on their feet

WHO’S AFRAID OF GENDER?

Again, very strange to have US leaders bragging about war crimes on TV — especially since Vance’s unfunny joke is basically “we base our air strikes on such sketchy intel that we can’t figure out who is a fisherman and who is a drug smuggler,” which does appear to be true, BTW.

My previous landlord tried taking repainting out of my deposit, but in NYC repainting is a responsibility of the landlord every 3 years - since it’d not been repainted prior to my move in, that responsibility was on her. I pushed back and she gave in, ended up retaining $750 more of my deposit.

too many good video games right now + too many good things happening in life literally the only "not perfect" thing is not having a job lmao

I think there is literally nothing more stressful to me where I am right now with DJing than trying to record a mix alone in my apartment lmao

I dreamt I found another closet in my new apartment and now I’m sad that it wasn’t real

centrist organizations obeyed in advance. this is where that got them. despite this, I am 100 percent certain their response to coming attacks from the government will be to obey even harder

I have learned I’m a natural expert at throwing peanut butter m&ms directly into people’s mouths at a distance 2 for 2 and I will never try again

Weird how when a Trump supporter, white supremacist, and reportedly, a former member of Turning Point USA shot up Florida State University (FSU) several months ago and killed two people - there wasn't the same national conversation about "political violence." www.mediaite.com/news/mass-sh...

Jay, you all owe an explanation of how it came to be that the exact list of users blamed by The Federalist were banned even if they did not break the ToS, and were not unsuspended until more than a day later.

Emperor Palpatine was a human being with a family, and it would be rude to celebrate his demise. Shame on the rebellion.

i think some decent people hold the idea that fascists need excuses to do evil, because it’s hard to wrap their heads around the cruelty otherwise. the truth is, fascists have never needed excuses. they’ll opportunistically *take* an excuse if it appears, but they’ll just fabricate one otherwise.

be very careful about what you post online

Don't eulogize Nazis

They haven’t said that the shooter is black or brown or a woman. And they have them on surveillance tape. So it’s probably a white man. Because the default human to these people is white and male.
