I was a kid in the aughts. I remember being like 10 years old, understanding war mostly as “when countries send people to fight to the death and eventually someone wins,” and every now and then anxiously asking my conservative parents if we had won the war on terror yet. HILARIOUS own in retrospect.

A black t-shirt with a white v-neck collar and white stripes on the sleeves. It has a design screenprinted in silver on the chest, a coffin with the lyrics to “kill all your friends” by my chemical romance in it with a marching band hat and baton leaning against the sides. It was, decidedly, not a phase.

Excited for the Queer Emo Convention ( #mcr concert) this weekend! I made a shirt for it! #screenprint #mcrnj

At the beach thanking the lifeguards for their service like chuds thank marines

Getting more in touch with my heritage (adding Bruce Springsteen to the summer playlist)

It’s the part of Passover where if I let my mind wander too long I start to crave pizza and garlic knots to the point where I can almost smell it

I love when people who are mostly familiar with me in goalie gear see me off-ice and get a little surprised that I’m roughly the size and shape of a fun-sized snickers bar

Rewatching The Hunger Games because I felt The Urge and WOW the capitol’s emphasis of putting on “a good show” is HAUNTING given the reality show currently occupying the US

Did not have “joining a cookie cult and falling a little in love with Cody Glass” on my March bingo card but yknow what fuck it #lgd #njdevils #njdvspit

Favorite thing about working in a social work office is that we do little enrichment activities to keep everyone from killing themselves. This month is a leprechaun gold scavenger hunt!

Do you guys think Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber explored each others’ bodies?

Since we evidently fucking with dictators now can we try dictatorship of the proletariat next?

My second favorite part is when the captains of each team have to engage in four-way hand-to-hand combat to decide who gets to eat it. Only after he finishes the heart can the puck be dropped.

My favorite part of the #nhl #4nations tourney opening ceremonies is when Gary Bettman selects one audience member to bring to center ice and then reaches into their chest and rips out their still-beating heart while everyone jeers

Everyone tossing piss bottles out onto the side of 295 really look like they need to drink more water

Related 2000s alt kid sentiment: I hope the Mike Shinoda that wrote “Hands Held High” and “Wretches and Kings” travels forward in time and punches the Mike Shinoda that sells NFTs and hangs out with Scientologists in the mouth

Man I think one of the weirdest things about this timeline is that the only part of the lyrics to “Handlebars” by Flobots that’s not still painfully real is the “I can see your face on the telephone” line cuz that’s not a flex anymore. Everything else? Frighteningly relevant for a 20-year-old song

they should put weed in the haribo gummy bears

Gerard Way when he was a young man

Tonight mothers are warning their children to brush their teeth and pick up their toys or else in the middle of the night Kendrick Lamar will write a song about them.

funniest highlights of the philly police scanner, a thread

Super Bowl blowouts usually suck but this one is a work of art, just a complete middle finger to everything that’s happening

rooting for the Eagles because it feels like Philly could really use a good riot

GO BIRDS

Re: Hope Hope is the thing with feathers And mine is growing teeth No longer soft, or lightly perched It’s become a beast It’s grown sharply-pointed talons To rip its way back out From where they’ll try to bury it By sowing fear and doubt Hope is the thing with fangs and claws That refuses to stay dead It can go back to playing nice and meek Once we have that fascist’s head

Every once in a while my brain is like “oh that’s right I have a writing degree that I paid a lot of money for” and spits out SOMETHING so here, I’m writing again I guess!

Re: “Hope” by Emily Dickinson, by me #poetry #writing #andshit

A one-hitter and a puff of albuterol is the asthmatic stoner’s “beer and a shot”

I believe the general internet tradition on these kinds of things is well known.
