Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[quoting a tweet from isabelunraveled in which she rails against depressing books that get branded as “great writing”]

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

tweet saying you can't read Proust because your brain is cooked by screens

No. Ignore this. You are capable of reading books again. The brain is highly malleable and you only need a few screen-free weeks to recover your focus. You will be amazed how quickly the hunger for reading returns. You will be inhaling words

I love artisanal croissants and I love eating pussy

people really are sharing private info like medical records and political organizing plans on large discord servers.

don't do that.

if you don't personally know everyone in a space, do not broadcast sensitive info.

even your signal group chat is one breakup/arrest away from being compromised.

Making my way through LORD OF THE RINGS for the first time and I will admit to being charmed by how Tolkien goes out of his way to explain why the hobbits have tobacco but says nothing about why there's fireworks but no cannons.

PopPop’s advice for a happy marriage

Wake up early and make her a really nice breakfast on your day off. I’m talking like, biscuits or sausages or something. Not just cereal or toast. Do this at least once a month.

This has been PopPop’s advice for a happy marriage.

tfw your editor says you can’t call a sitting state representative a “chickensh*t”

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Cleaning when you have ADHD is like playing Tetris. As soon as I put something away, it disappears.

I'm working on a joke about Tantalus but the punchline is juuuust out of reach

I think it's bad that the country is led by people who haven't had a real problem in their entire lives and couldn't get a regular job due to being too weird

Me: I really hate the “born this way” narrative because queerness and transness isn’t some monolith

Me, in a men’s restroom: WHO THE FUCK WOULD ACTUALLY CHOOSE THIS LIFE?!?

For fans of Coheed and Cambria, Weezer The Pillows and other Prog Alt Bands!
I just released “The Alchemist,” and I’m really proud of this one.

We have never needed Schoolhouse Rock more than we do now. Take that shit off Disney+ and put it for free on Tubi. Play the American Government songs on rotation every hour. Because ain't not FUCKIN WAY folks are sitting here thinking this shit is ok.

Someone once asked me why finding out it's AI taints the enjoyment. My response is the same now as then:

If I'm eating food and a cockroach crawls out of it, I'm not finishing that meal, and it would most definitely affect how I felt about what I'd already eaten.

Another opportunity for Europe to talk to talented people in the US and invite them to move. EU/UK needs to welcome this rich reserve of knowledge and researchers who wish to live in a place that appreciates and wants to see their work flourish and pay dividends for humanity.

Remember kids,

If they have no problem being cruel to the homeless, they will have no trouble being cruel to you if you inconvenience them.

Great now I’m imagining a fabulous Aussie going “oy love ya’re serving today, ya cunt!”

Honestly, if the EU/UK is not negotiating a tight and expansive trade deal with Canada right now, they are missing the biggest opportunity of a generation. Win/win for those involved & an earned bloody nose for this US administration.

Reading about the insane numbers of books that ordinary working people used to read a hundred years ago feels like seeing pictures of the Pacific Ocean back when it teemed with whales. Hard to comprehend what we’ve lost.

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

I can’t believe we live in a world where we are asked to choose between Luigi or Goomba mushrooms.

Trump and his team sure are acting like people who don’t plan on relying on voters in 4 years.

It’s almost like they have a plan to stay in power without them.

Kind of like a dictator or something.

Me- *Has such horrifying mental health problems that pretty much no one expects me to survive my 20s*

Me- *Takes HRT* Oh wow, that really was like, 90% of the problem.

Next time someone says Trump isn’t a dictator, just say “prove it”. They won’t be able to.
