its like the ring

I feel entitled to compensation after hearing the lyric "He ah-matized me and opened my eyes, Redwood tree, it ain't hard to see, His love was the key that opened my thighs"

working on a new unified theory of american reality i'm calling "everyone is twelve now"

This was the first time I thought the Gaylors might be onto something because what do you mean his redwood tree opened your thighs

I'm sure people will be normal and good faith about this post

I think we owe Andrea Dworkin a bit of an apology tbh

Happy first day of Halloween! If you want to support indie horror this October, check out my movie The Woods.

We shot this baby for under 100k, in less than two weeks, and I had never directed anything before! This was real indie cinema and I'm so proud of our team

Really never been a big fan of standup comedy, video games, or YouTube "debate" porn, and boy what a time for my passive instincts to be right.

pete hegseth, who you will recall has been accused of domestic abuse and sexual assault, has announced a new policy by which you cannot file anonymous complaints of mistreatment. sex criminal solidarity.

When the Roman Empire fell it became a church.
When the British Empire fell it became a bank.
When the American Empire falls it will become a casino.

This is really really good

Not enough gay bars hosting Rapture parties

I’ve been thinking about this piece all day. An incredible reflection on sensorial pleasure and our digital lives:

I think this is why I feel most at peace with my hands in the dirt.

It also aligns with something that’s been very helpful for me: If you’re trying to stop doing something, don’t just take it away. *Replace* it with something that fills the same need, but hopefully better.

This was fantastic. We say “touch grass” like a curse on someone, when really the digital realm has become a place to separate us from the sensual (and I’d argue the emotional) connection we have with the world around us and those closest to us

“What people want to replace you with is what they think you already are. If [they] want to replace you with a robot or an AI model, that’s because they already see you and what you do as simply the workings of a machine with far too many bugs.”

Another banger from @citymystic.bsky.social.

Text reads: "What people want to replace you with is what they think you already are. If companies, bosses, and boyfriends want to replace you with a robot or an AI model, that’s because they already see you and what you do as simply the workings of a machine with far too many bugs. When we buy into this framing, we lose half the battle. The way out is through the senses."

I'm particularly proud of this line

You Don't Need to Log off, You Need to Become Sensual The digital world the wealthy are creating is designed to detach us from our bodies

Wrote about the radical act of returning to one's body in a digital age designed to detach us from them.

If you believe in compromising on abortion you don't think women are really people. Hope that helps!!!

Kirk funeral happening the same day as an eclipse...interesting!

The idea of running anti-abortion Democrats is sickening to me. That means killing women! That is what that means!

When you've been on the go a lot and thus haven't really cooked for yourself in awhile, the first meal you make upon your return is always a humiliation ritual.

love cannot be stopped it is the inertia of existence itself

How dare you make me take Jimmy Kimmel's side!!

Banish With Laughter When everything is funny, nothing is sacred

Back in February I wrote about how constantly making a joke out of everything is destroying us. Been thinking about it a lot lately.
