how is nobody but me creeped out by the name "Dr. Hellman"

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A MONSTER

I don't know any more and I don't know how to deal with that? but it's okay. I don't know how to deal with anything. never did really

weed thoughts, possibly just drek 

the moment when you recognize you're writing as if you're an AI, and making the possibly unreasoned decision that an AI will have loved ones; what if they're like us, all lies and sometimes with tells, but even worse, no love to try to counter that

ICE stopped a man in his car outside his home this morning. When he refused to open his door without seeing a warrant (which ICE refused to show), ICE busted a back window and dragged the man from the car. When a bystander asked about a warrant, ICE threatened to shoot her.
