Plea from a Cat Named Virtute
YouTube video by The Weakerthans - Topic Plea from a Cat Named Virtute

I swear I'm gonna bite you hard and taste your tinny blood if you don't stop repeating all the self-defeating lies you've been repeating since the day you brought me home.

I know you're strong.

If you're wondering, it is extremely hard to concentrate on writing Dungeons & Dragons adventures in this state.

For the last month or so, every time I glance at the news I become unable to think about anything. Even the news I'm reading becomes hissing, anxious noise in my mind. This lasts for an hour at best, and the rest of the day at worst.

I dislike this feeling.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didnโ€™t have social media growing up, and thereโ€™s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didnโ€™t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and youโ€™ve got to live with it now. Thatโ€™s tough.

VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, โ€œFor the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say itโ€™s because your dad was a fool. Donโ€™t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but Iโ€™m not now.โ€ Thereโ€™s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and thatโ€™s the very thing we preach against โ€” being a sheep. And thatโ€™s what I was doing.

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

I like rounder pen tips because in the right light, you can watch the ink dry. There's something satisfying about it

Discord screenshot:

Lexi:
It was intensely serendipitous timing

Cullen McGuire:
singing barenaked ladies to myself like a xennial whenever i see that word
possibly my most "Normal Guy With a Baseball Cap" music pick
Turning into a guy named Matt who got married at 20 and has never met a gay person, goes to church but doesn't really like it, plays extraction shooters with his friends from getting the college degree he doesn't use at his spreadsheet job upstairs at the bank
Matt is a liberal, but not because he is thoughtless. It's just that the worst pain he's ever experienced was his grandma dying two years ago
Matt loves the Barenaked Ladies. And so do I.

Why are you hiding what nerds love!? Writing for your audience is good! (genuinely!)
