One of the downsides of using a clock radio alarm to wake up in the morning is the nonzero possibility of waking up to Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up.
Ask me how my morning was.
How was your morning?
I wasn’t a fan of the song I woke up to.
The fact that one of my posts broke double digits in six hours is a statistical wonder. I’ve played dodgeball with Apollo and walked away unscathed. Not even haiku bot was able to elevate me to a tenth of your guess.
I am the true Lord of the Flop, no matter what those idiots at work say.
I’ve been here for over a year, and only now struck this milestone. You think you can put me in the thousands?

Some ppl are like “I’m a kinky sex-positive pervert freak!!!” and then make fun of virgins and asexuals….. sure, reclaim freakiness but keep working on that because teasing ppl for their sex lives (or lack thereof) is, unfortunately, very normie mainstream vanilla behaviour. the right to sexual determination includes NOT having sex. 101 shit. Like this isnt subversive dude, it’s using the edge of an ideology for bullying
*slams fist on table* WE RESPECT VIRGINS, VANILLA SHIT, AND ASEXUALS HERE!
A+ for adding “vanilla shit” because honest to God you just like what you like, if you’re really only into missionary in the dark it doesn’t mean anything about you or your politics or beliefs and I’m kind of tired of seeing that as shorthand for “bad conservative prude.” kinksters are great at saying “what I like in bed doesn’t make me a bad person” when it’s their shit but not so good when it’s other people’s shit. that’s a great principle but it goes both ways!
(also a lot of people are dealing with some major sex insecurities because our society is so fucked up and wherever they are in that process is valid)
(but if you just prefer missionary in the dark for no reason that’s cool too)
I think a big part of the reason why there’s been such a vehement backlash against any form of feminism recently is that whiny dudes with no redeeming qualities see things like this and think “boy, I would sure love to subjugate another human being into doing my bidding with no expectations on myself besides going to work every day”. They saw how their grandparents’ relationship worked when women were powerless domestic servants and rather than having any empathy for their grandmothers, they just see their grandfathers being waited on hand and foot and think “boy, I bet that’s nice.” They see any attempt for women to emancipate themselves as theft of property and long for the Good Old Days when women could neither change nor escape from their husbands.
My grandpa died in 2015 and the change it’s brought about in my grandma’s personality has been like night and day. She was always sort of treated like a piece of furniture/maidservant by her husband, but now that he’s out of the picture I’m finally starting to see who she really is, and who she probably was before marrying him. When I was little, my parents told me that she used to be a clown. Like, professionally. I never saw it until a few years ago. She was always a quiet, mild-mannered lady who worked at the library and that suited her at the time. But now that she doesn’t have a husband to take care of? Holy shit. That woman is FUNNY. She’s got a filthy sense of humor and razor sharp wit that had just been tamped down like warm embers of a day-old campfire and without my grandpa to take care of 24/7 (he had MS, which took a lot of home care and placed a lot more work on her than even typical 1950s housewives were expected to do) it’s like a breeze blew off the ashes and suddenly she sprang back to life again. I only wish it hadn’t happened so late in her life. It makes me miss the wacky-ass clown grandma I could have had my entire life, and as much as I loved my grandpa when he was alive, the things I’ve learned about how he treated my grandma and my mom and my aunts and uncles kinda makes me wish it had happened sooner. And the guilt for that is wrapped up in the sorrow for the life my grandma never got to have and the love and appreciation I have for the person I didn’t get to see until she was well and truly a Little Old Lady cracking jokes about her car turning back into a pumpkin if she doesn’t get home soon while I help her down the stairs.
School of Visual Arts in New York is currently having a pro-Palestine protest and the admin called the cops on the protestors. NYPD currently attacking the students. If you’re in NY they need backup right now outside 24th building.
“The way I personally stay true to the story I started down on is to give myself permission to not teach anyone anything. I’m not writing a manual. I’m not delivering bromides. I know that a lot of people do take enormous pleasure and relief in lines or phrases or ideas from stories that ring true to their own lives, but it’s important for me that I tell a story and that I’m not writing Chicken Soup for the Necromantic Soul. It is getting harder and harder again, especially for authors from marginalised places or backgrounds, to write works where the takeaway isn’t ‘this is to succour all my marginalised people’. For anyone on the female-identified axis this is especially hard because it seems to me that most books by anyone female-adjacent have an expectation that they will comfort the uncomfortable and discomfit the comfortable etc., whereas a guy can just tell an adventure story and be done with it. This ties in with an idea that I think nowadays that good art is moral and bad art is immoral: i.e. if a story is bad it actually has to be because the lessons are bad, and if a story is good it must somehow be beautiful on the moral scale. We go looking for why the art we love is moral even if the art we love is a donut. I think this is the pressure of capitalism on time – that everything has to double or triple up in benefit compared to the time we take on it: if we’re prepared to waste eight hours on a book we had better be able to tot up at the end how that book was also feeding us in some way. That’s brand time we just used.“ (Tamsyn Muir)

This is the most reflection I’ve ever seen anyone do on Twitter.
You gotta understand once when I was on Twitter argument and realized I was wrong and I went to say something like ‘you’re totally right, my bad, thanks for helping me realize this’ and I got the “Twitter Users Don’t Usually Post This”
I FOUND IT (old, old screenshot)
Should just resorted to slurs and adhomen attacks. That’s the usual weapon I see being use on Twitter
I love the message and artstyle but did they have to give the cute lovable gator depression? T^T carry on lil buddy, this too shall pass
The gator is the whole point. It’s a stand-in for the author that has felt the need to suppress the aspects of themself that others find unappealing, their anger, their sadness, the things people find abrasive or just “weird” in order to make themself more digestible for the people around them because the alternative is to be alone. The gator is only “cute” and “lovable” because it was not allowed to be anything else.

forget Resting Bitch Face, I have Resting Competent Face. People see me and think ah yes she can point me to the nearest train station. Fellow grocery shoppers ask if I know what kind of butter they should buy. If a strange man speaks to me on the street it is literally always an inquiry and never a catcall. Once someone randomly asked me what an equinox was and after I told her she nodded and said “you seemed like you’d know.” why am I assigned oracle at random interaction
