I’m going back to school to study Psychology, and it’s mostly because I’d like to become a therapist… but also because I’d like to be the kind of therapist to someone that I’d hoped I could have found earlier in life.

Flying back US for my summer holidays in a couple of days, and I wish my family would meet me somewhere I don’t currently have an existential dread of visiting.

What sort of local anesthesia did they use? One injection for the whole site, or a couple?

The sibilance in that title all but confirms how true it is.

Look man, if trained feds can’t figure out how to de-escalate a situation that THEY created by showing up heavily armed to a scene where folks are rightfully, righteously angry at their neighbors being kidnapped, then that’s on them

Peaceful protesting? What does that even mean in this moment

the sign can’t stop her cause she can’t read

The perfect metaphor for this moment doesn’t exi…

Loving the fact that there’s an amazing craft gin bar near my place.

Loving the fact I don’t have to be at work until 4pm tomorrow even more.

Glad the kids are playing board games today so I can enjoy looking out the window instead of teaching grammar.

Assorted flowers in a green glass vase on a desk, monitors blacked out to preserve privacy.

Overthinking things, feeling sort of down, and not sure of where things are, so I went out and got some flowers to try and brighten up my day.

Maybe it means they don’t see value in it at all, or that they only see the financial side of art, ignoring the aesthetic, curious, intellectual, or any other meaning.

Happy Pride Month, Fannibals!

Every time I hear a Nancy Grace ad while listening to my podcasts, I cannot hit “+30 sec” fast enough.

Elon Musk hates this

There’s a possibility Silksong will come out this week…

Charlie Brown will have to kick that football eventually, right?

A student asked me to “bless” her pen after explaining the difference between indoctrination and brainwashing… and I’m worried I’ve started a cult.

Defying DeSantis, Florida Pride Marchers Light Up Jacksonville Bridge with Rainbow Organizers demonstrated that they didn’t need state permission for queer visibility.

Pink and lavender hydrangeas along a canal in Tokyo.

Some purple, green, and pink flowers (not sure what type, but they’re kinda alien-looking) in Tokyo.

The world is… not great. But, I saw these flowers today, they’re quite pretty, and they didn’t give me an allergy attack.

It took me nine years, but I’ve finally watched “Arrival” and immediately started kicking myself over not watching it sooner.

Ironically, “functionally unregulated” is what abortions in Missouri will basically become now thanks to that Attorney General’s attempts to take away safe, legal abortion access >.<

When visiting US bases in Japan, why not indulge in the finest American cultural offerings?

Booked some flights home for the summer, am excited to spend a little time in Portland after visiting family in NC (and wherever else on the East Coast I end up).

a man wearing sunglasses and a bandana is driving a car Alt: Kung Fury behind the wheel of his red, Hoff 9000-equipped Lamborghini.

Quick reminder that “Kung Fury” is still one of the best pieces of media ever created.

Why would anyone do this? That’s like inviting every fungus in the world to hitch a ride.

One day, I’ll have a place large enough to host game nights again.
