i'm not fond of so many things my friends love and i keep my friends by not being a goddamn dick about that fact, because all this stuff is subjective and not reflective of human merit

people put way too much goddamn stock in how other people feel about the things they love and i can't tell if it's mostly an online problem or not

my other favorite game of all time is shadow of the colossus so "is this game art" is a question that never gets any less fucking boring to me

the fact that those are maybe my two favorite games of all time just means i'm tired all the time even when it comes to my personal interests

Photo of a truly ginormous great white shark breaching the water in an explosion of saltwater frotj. It’s turning midleap toward the camera & has an awkward grimace on its face as if it just realized you were taking a picture.

Every time I hear someone who’s not on Bluesky reference it they’re making it sound like a place where people are constantly being told to kill themselves for being cis or white when the actual median post on here is like β€œTrotskyist pussy got me perpetually revolving”

if you want to throw a few bucks to louisiana public broadcasting so they can keep doing for others in rural louisiana & east texas what they did for me, here's a link. it can't be an easy thing to run down there in comparison to the ones in, say, nyc
