I was starting to feel like starter packs were old news, but I got followed by like a thousand blue MAGA accounts in the past few days, so here I am hiding on alt again

now it's a Star Wars flag with that resistance symbol or whatever (sorry i am uneducated about Star Wars). how many flags do we think they have

fun that my closest collaborator and i are both having mental breaks but hers is "texts you 70 times in a row about pronatalism on a sunday" and mine is "if you talk to me about anything other than the specific regression i'm currently running i WILL die"

i love jenny lewis's music as a reminder that hot people also have problems

Not gonna say this on main but I think the "not only are they pronatalists, they specifically only want white women to breed" stuff is being oversold

"I’ve never seen so much ignorance about the workings of the Roman Catholic Church than I have seen today." lol, who cares

Probably not the time to admit my deep ambivalence about USAID

Main Character Syndrome continues apace I see

Fish insults
