Had to explain Ea-Nasir to my therapist

the oppression of children runs so deep in our society that one of the primary ways that we disempower people is by assigning them child-adjacent status as adults. license to abuse flows from that

for years i've been like, just you wait till i ever fucking practice, then i'll really be worthy of piano. maybe with ritalin i'll figure out discipline but i'm coming to grasp thru recent gigs that even through my clear limitations, i do give something rare and beloved musically

in 2016 i was outside one night in chicago and heard screaming coming from every building around me, followed by people pouring out of every building into the street, still screaming. that’s how i found out the cubs won the series and i assume it will be how i find out that The Cool Event happened.

just saw a tiktok of a juggler referring to non jugglers as civilians

Two decades of 69 jokes and now it's come to this

DICK VAN DYKE HAS REACHED AGE 100 HAPPY BIRTHDAY DICK VAN DYKE!!!

J.R.R. Tolkien. Glad he never had appendicitis because now THAT'S a man who would rather die than EVER remove an Appendix.

Socialization theory has been so utterly mangled that people don't fundamentally understanding it's not Girl or Boy Programming, it's absorbing the dominant cultural values we grow up with. If you grow up in a patriarchal society, you are socialized patriarchal.

'potentially fatal' is such weasel shit. look at me, I'm eating a potentially fatal amount of peanut butter. is it hurting me? no, but if I had peanut allergies, then---

One of the reasons these scams persist is because victims feel guilty about falling for them, so I don't want to hear any "lol this is so obvious" stuff. These emails are written in perfect english and something approximating my voice. As far as I know it hasn't worked yet but no shame if it did!

real bad OCD day today

not even a good question just for those of us who are like..... medium-level language-learning nerds. spending as many paragraphs autistically defining my number when it's as low as 3 to 6. that amount of pretentious waffling should only be allowed to start at like 8 languages

This year my music got 96,000 streams on Spotify and had 46,000 listeners and I made… $185.61. Total. This is indefensible. Truly an evil company. I totally get why people enjoy using Spotify, but if you want to support musicians, please consider buying our stuff on Bandcamp once in awhile. 💚

texting my dad for the first time in a long time because i vaguely know he had OCD. and also he would tell us my mom used to be better at some point before she lost it. the cousins talk about the gong family craziness. i can't let this—

While I'm appreciating Internet comedy, this remains by far the funniest thing Clickhole has ever done: clickhole.com/the-time-i-s...

sorry this is the best holiday song a band has ever made don’t even @ me with any christmas song even if it’s a good one because this is better. thank you. 🎧

make musicals genuinely experimental while still playing to the conventions it’s possible the boys from ABBA did it in 1984

oh, some online piano scores for things are so fucked. why am i playing notes four leger lines down on the right band that would be easier to play and to read with the left

okay these actually turned out so sick i'm so sad i can only ship to canada aplante.com/shop

They should do MyChart Wrapped

I also just love this genre of post. "My friend, who absolutely sucks shit, is struggling to find a partner."

This feels like the central toxicity of these dude-gurus: They're feeding men an ideology that immediately casts it as "virtue signaling" whenever anyone states a moral value of any kind. An explicitly nihilistic worldview and a recipe for lifelong misery.

You’ll Be OK

there's a reasoning there lmao

ritalin focus and ocd in mortal battle right now

a funny aside: last year I visited Montgomery and saw the statue of Rosa Parks at the stop where she boarded the bus, and the man showing me around noted 'now that bus musta had about 50 seats yet about 100 people have told me they were on that bus when Mrs. Parks refused to give up her seat' 😂

Some Really Annoying Shit Involving Many Cubes

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

just got this fax from evil miyamoto, what the hell man??

the chrono trigger enertron. i had a good day! but i still have OCD

The so-called “two gender solution” is an unworkable fantasy

another every-minute-of-the-day ocd day

My favorite ludicrous New Yorker style is that they print initialisms in full caps but acronyms (initialisms pronounced as words) in small caps, so in the days of CD-ROMs, they'd write the word like this:

who up reëntering

In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Mario and Luigi's level-up stat gains are bizarrely based on what level Bowser is currently at. If he is at a "good" level, they will be several times more powerful. The game does not tell you which levels are good and which are bad.

shania twain…i could build a goddamn life with that woman

Did you know? Black Friday is named in honor of Rebecca Black, who invented Friday in 2011.

when you don’t like all my posts

my video game take is that they’re allowed to have inconvenient mechanics and i like it when they do

ELPHABA and GLINDA will return SUMMER 2027 in SINNERS 2

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read

I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.

xkcd.com/3172/ this really got to me 😭
