This inspired me to put down my phone and read (The Iliad, translated by Emily Wilson)

Imagine a government having to stop price gouging when the people leading the government are leading the price gouging. 🤯

Scrolling (at any point really) is an emotional rollercoaster. One post of a baby bear clinging to a man’s leg after he saved it from the California fires, the next post some random “it’s snowing so I can’t drive” fluff.

I can’t do this y’all. Idk how you do this.

It’s a fine day to be soulless.

I’m almost afraid of actually getting attention on social because where there is positivity, negativity is sure to follow.

Just followed 3 new people

The other day, I woke up and saw a pic of Musk making that "salute" and was plunged into a panic attack. All. Day. Long. I have nightmares about my grandfather's escape and how we will never know how many Romani were killed because they weren't counted since "they weren't really people".

He may not be a convicted rapist (it was sexual abuse) but he’s still got a special place in hell.

I love a peaceful rainfall

This is what peak masculinity looks like in 2025

Me running away from my wife after saying I should have just gotten a job at Safeway instead of being a writer and then saying, “oh, he finally saw the light.” I guess faith comes in many forms. ❤️

When are we getting sci-fi nanobots to dust our houses at a microscopic level? 10? 30? 100 years? Never?

I solved this by buying 100 pens but it still happens!

OMG I’ve thought this so many times it’s not even funny. Just waitin’ for the day…

Hoping he finds a forever home! 🤞

For sure. A poorly written sentence is far easier to fix than no sentence at all!

Had a nice rest in the sun with my cat after cleaning duties 🐈‍⬛

What’s your favorite Latin phrase? Mine is “Memento Mori” meaning that we must all remember that we are mortal; that we all die.

I’ve not looked in the mirror since early January apparently cuz I just got like 20 new white-grey (or gray, if you like American spelling) hairs on my temples 😭🫠

Everything I have known and been taught about my own country my whole life is that we take pride in our participation in the defeat of nazism. No economic situation is worth sullying the memories of the men and women who fought for our freedom. Do not flirt with nazism, it will not set you free.

In my novel “The Inside,” big tech billionaires give smartglasses to people for free to literally remove police brutality from their field of view. Sometimes you gotta take off the tech to see the truth. #dystopian #fiction #novel

and I know I got it from my dad because he used to think “chest of drawers” was “Chester drawers” like some guy named Chester invented putting a bunch of drawers into a chest 😂

saaaame!

Arkhein, the first of her soul-line, was hatched without knowing a mother, on a barren island. What did she do? She built, and cultivated the land, but had no other dragon to share it with, until she felt a greatness within her. And just then, an egg fell from the sky, hatching the second. #fantasy
