one of the things being a romance reader has taught me is that purity culture (all sex is bad) and porn culture (all sex is salacious/emotionally hollow) are just two sides of the same coin, and it's really not worth fighting with either group of people.

Well my dad died but at least the rest of my family has decided to move to the west coast leaving me completely and utterly alone so at least I have that going for me

Incredibly gassy right now. Probably the worst in my life

I know people are rightly going to be worried about child health, their own health. But we also can't afford this. Like, John Hopkins did an estimate (next link) and every measles case during outbreaks cost on average $43,000 to treat. That kid who got tetanus cost $1 million dollars to treat /1

oaaaouugh my tummy

asking a friend or loved one for help is illegal and if i do it a police officer will show up and shoot me in the chest

Tummy hurts

I had all these holiday events lined up and then bam flu

and tiny tim, who was NOT in the epstein files,

Sometimes I'm like "oh I have no executive functioning because I have so much going on in my mind already" and then I remember that 90% of what's going on in my mind is just mental illness

125/ 🔊 turn on your sound for this one, I've never heard a noise like that in my life

It's more socially inept to mock someone for vulnerably admitting to having trouble dating/making friends than whatever is wrong with that person in the first place. www.cartoonshateher.com/p/dont-doubl...

Context collapse genuinely makes discussion impossible on social media because in a reader's eyes everyone's identity is smeared across hundreds of people and everyone's speech is smeared across hundreds of remembered posts.

The orangutans cannot defend their home. We must teach them karate. And send them HIMARS

Damn! That bitch was not lying! The new world do struggle to be born

Falling into the institutional Christmas candy --> tummyache pipeline. Congress must act

Feel like I see more and more gender war rage bait on the timeline. On here it's about men, on YouTube it's about women. I see almost zero of this in real life, but I DO see other people mentioning how much they're seeing online. Most people in real life are fair and compassionate.

Seething this morning that serif fonts have become reactionary-coded. I just want to be able to tell the difference between Cl and CI

Someone who knows music please explain to me how they achieved the bass sound on Sugar Water Cyanide. It sounds like someone trapped lady gaga inside a womb and that womb was inside a drum being played by a balrog

Taking advantage of a 30 year old child actor by enjoying her album. Problematic

when I don’t achieve a goal I am like “this is why no one fucking loves you and you deserve every bad thing that has ever happened to you” and when I meet a goal I am like “ok”

yeah I'm involved in unethical non monogamy. no no, nobody's cheating on anyone else; me and my polycucle just operate a whaling ship.

Avatar and Warhammer 40,000 are both about 10 foot tall blue space men doing imperialism

Nice gyre. Widening?

uugghhhh my throat hurts because im sick (remembers to keep a positive attitude) like a kickflip

Biological mail

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

Get a heated toilet seat they said. It's the best thing ever they said. #FridayVibes 😼 #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky

the lion doesn’t concern himself with that pain radiating down his left arm

abundance was brought up in this podcast in terms of “is this what No Kings libs are talking about versus ???” and the cofounder of Indivisible just straight up says, in polite terms, that nobody on the ground gives a fuck about it and, if anything, see it as a pointless distraction lol

You can't spell hairstyle without hair

Sure my life's material trajectory isn't what you'd call "good" or "upward" but at least the surrounding sociohistorical context is awful

I heard in the club last night that all that was once solid is now melting into air?

Hey, Dad. All my life I have been the stone in the creek. Shaped by forces moving around me that I could not understand. Today I will become the creek. I will swell over the banks and into the world. I will make it smaller. I will reduce all things. Hope you get this voicemail. Hope you can swim.

I don't use any Britishisms because I am going to Heaven actually

Pornhub has released the top most searched terms in the United States and every state searched “industrial crane lifting a dark and dripping shape from an unquiet sea” bc America is going through it,

you seem pensive tonight playboy

The takes are blowing cold and snowy today

there is not any particularly strong evidence that study of the humanities make people good people. the elites of many brutal empires were extremely well-read!

All My Godzillas

These days I honestly think most speech is about the self and projection. Things make so much more sense if you assume 90% of what people say is actually about themselves.

Spend most of your life online and you risk folding over your thoughts one too many times in search of the perfect rush of contrarian cleverness and wind up spouting off some truly repulsive ideas. I think it's worth asking yourself "would a normal person visibly flinch if I said this to them?"

My horse would never use narcotics

Singing is underrated. I think we should all sing more.

Scientists now believe that the human brain--a magic goo for worrying--can also be used to do other things
