Kinda loving the amount of people on this bus who are clearly on their way to Valentine’s dates. One dude carrying a big bunch of flowers, another holding on to a heart balloon. Aww.

I’m tired of the Tom Holland “Umbrella” clip. I’ve watched it a few times and it’s fun, but I know so many people who repost it again and again and again because it’s “the rule” that they have to repost it every time it comes across their feed.

Microfiction, gun 

“So you’d take me out to satisfy your own conscience instead of making something of yourself. You could have had anything you want in this world if you only had the ambition.”

“That’s the problem.”

The gun fires. The room goes silent.

“That’s the whole damn problem.”

Just a reminder that the word ‘Carnival’ roughly translates to ’Meat Party’

when ppl point out that Communist nation-states like the USSR have committed atrocities

and the Communists reply that the USA has plenty of their own

it is not to defend the Communist state by tu quoque fallacy

it is to point out that the atrocity did not arise out of the Communism

but the nation-stateness

Today's gender is the sound of a clock ticking.

life feels like needing a list somewhere of “Types of Media That Make Me Feel Alive,” so that when I feel like creating something I can remember the tropes and styles that I want to see more of in the world.

Otherwise I end up sitting here like “I want to create but WHAT??,” until I encounter one of those tropes/styles again and it’s like “ooh right”

That sense of object impermanence extends even to stuff I enjoy, apparently.

My husband is watching in the other room, and as soon as I heard the theme music my brain perked up like OOH BOY because I enjoy that show a totally normal amount

I broke a mandolin string for the first time tonight.

Yeah, you could say I’m pretty hardcore 🤘🏻

“But Ronen, that’s an incredibly common experience”

Common, sure, but not universal. There are absolutely people who thrive under the attention of others. If I were one of them, I think my efforts in music and performance could have gotten a lot farther before now.

One of the great contradictions of my life is that I crave attention but feel intense anxiety when I have it.

Weekends should be three days:

Day 1: Be lazy af. Recoup from the work week. Binge watch TV. Play video games.

Day 2: Go outside. Be active. Climb a mountain. Have beers with friends on a boat.

Day 3: Chores. Put on some good podcasts, do your laundry. Get groceries. Prepare.

I start playing in my first long-term game TODAY!!

Over many years, I have been gradually replacing all of the paragraphs in the Ship of Theseus Wikipedia article.

“The rules of bodily decorum usually imply that the cosmos depends on the shame we feel about our bodies. But sometimes that lesson is a lie, and a cunningly self-protecting one at that, for to question it requires self-exposure and loss of face, and who would want that? Well, trickster would, as would all those who find they cannot fashion a place for themselves in the world until they have spoken against collective silence.” - Lewis Hide, Trickster Makes This World
