Ariadne Talchik

during the glory days of remote work, I realized that "work from anywhere" included such places as "the Smithsonian" and "Disneyland in China"

you didn't put restrictions on me, brah, that's on you

Since April of 23; I’ve been Ariadne legally since fall of 2024

Does anyone else get deadnamed in their dreams a lot?

Or is that just a me thing

the other variation is the autistic girl who curls into the fetal position under her desk below a blanket with all the lights off and "JET ENGINE SOUND - 10 HRS" playing on full volume and can't tell you why she can't get up

too many people on the left have fallen into the conservative mindset of thinking that someone being good at posting memes and trolling online means a goddamn thing for their principles or their governance.

I don't give a fuck how often he "owns" trump online, he's a amoral worm with no values

Kinda wanna go back to when we were just weird little freaks and sitcom punchlines instead of the worlds main character

perhaps because I am an elder millennial, but even when consuming short form video content, I prefer to mute it, watch at double speed, and read the captions

one of my favorite things about seattle is that like 30% of this city is queer or has some kind gender fuckery going on

piercings, purple hair, some form of gender dress

it makes us all stand out less, because we just become background noise on the train

we as a society read more than we've ever read before.

Everyone has to read on their phone; read billboards; read the news feed in the office elevator; read on the laptop at work

even people that have labor jobs now listen to audiobooks at work

the notion that literacy is collapsing is nonsense

no, this is definitely it

after a day of reading hundreds of pages of RFP response, the absolute last thing I want to do is try to understand the lore of Harrow and the ninth house

at best I'm willing to read shitposts, but I'll probably just watch YT essays on high speed rail instead

I'd love it if we could all just form our own state somewhere, perhaps on a small island in the pacific, but none of us have ANY FUCKING MONEY, so I guess we'll just do our fuckin best to keep waking up every day

I have a little ritual; every monday morning I play the same song while I make my shot and think about what feminization it will do to me that week

the sign might need those shoes for later

hell yeah monday shot gang!

It is an eternally surviving myth among conservatives and boomers that we lost Vietnam because we were too soft

to that I need only reply that we bombed two totally uninvolved countries to such an extent as to render large parts of them totally uninhabitable for thousands of years

Seems bad that literally every one of my trans fem friends is hovering on the edge of total disassociation at all times

Wonder if it’s because every space we exist in reminds us how hated we are fucking constantly

I sent too early; it should have read

no, you’re a brilliant short form writer. People like you are the best part of this and every other website, and their continued insistence on bullying people like you off sites in exchange for white bread sycophants like ezra klein is tragic

no

Perhaps my decade of experience as a C-suite strategy consultant can come in useful for my next career, where boards hire me to stand next to a CEO and slap the phone out their had every time they open a group chat or try to post about things that aren’t photos of neighborhood birds

While I think this album was a letdown, there’s no doubt that Taylor is a visionary director whose videos continue to get increasingly complex and impressive

You get a date yet?

And I will die on the hill that she said nothing wrong. It was a comment specifically urging people to not write off all Trump supporters, but the press pushed its own insane version of it.

Sorry for the word dump, but hope it helps

Me looking hot with a rose, wearing my omega

Me looking hot standing on a dock

Have some thirst traps, yall

So the result is that you have an album that is either “bad”, or “good eventually, maybe?”

Either way, it’s bleak, and the community is divided with some saying it’s so bad it’s made them reconsider their entire view on ALL her music

It is, lyrically, a huge step down for her last album, which a lot of people consider to be the finest work she’s ever done

This new album is hugely divisive among swifties, with lots insisting that those that don’t like it just don’t get it, or just need to let it grow on them, or just listen more

Okay, so, her new album is kind of dogshit, and a lot of people think that if this is the quality we can expect with Kelce as a muse, her glory days are over

She’s very clearly terrified of Chappel and Sabrina, and this style of music just no longer suits her

This album is petty and amateur (1/?)

Drinking and extreme racism, as I understand it

It’s four a day since 1854, what’s not to understand

Do you want me to explain or nah
