I’m a complete and total failure of a person, just a burden. I’m too scared to apply for jobs because I heard no so many times. I cry and have panic attacks constantly. I’m so lost and everything feels so completely hopeless. I have no idea what to do.

We don’t have power right now because it turns out there are some utility companies that do “maintenance” to prevent issues before they happen. Who’s have think it?

I wince every time I hear something along the lines of "it turned out pretty good". I'd swear I don't remember noticing this as much in the past.

There’s a joke in *The Princess and the Frog* that is so niche I can’t believe they included it. When Tiana and Naveen meet Ray, Naveen tells him they are from a place far from this world and Ray’s response is “Go to bed! Y’all from Shreveport??” MJ is this joke in human form.

something has to give before everything finally breaks. People aren't supposed to feel this way, it eats away at you too much. I'm so tired of feeling like a failure wasting my time and that'll I'll never be happy with who I am.

It’s always going to be weird to see people at the store that I’ve known my entire life (or even people I’m related to) and they look me dead in the eyes and there isn’t the slightest hint of recognition.

Good morning! We know you have been waiting for an update, but we have some unfortunate news. An immediate family member was diagnosed with cancer and it has turned our world upside down. We will eventually get through this and focus on development again. Thank you so much for your support.

Kinda wish we could have more than one conversation about anything. Bioshock Infinite, for example, has a lot more going on than its terrible “both sides are bad” centrist racism. But that’s kind of been the final word on the game for years and idk. Lot of stuff happening there!

This spreads into other things too. I’ve been in online communities where coping mechanisms that would make a therapist scream are ignored or even encouraged because it’s considered bad to call anyone out for it.

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

[quoting a tweet from isabelunraveled in which she rails against depressing books that get branded as “great writing”]

Not every bit of storytelling is a damn puzzle box to be solved. Not everything needs to fit into some stupid interconnected web of intrigue. Sometimes things just happen and sometimes people just die. There is no reason, no explanation, it just is.

I feel monumentally guilty for how angry (rightfully so) Canadians are right now. It also hurts far more than I would have expected to see the number of comments condemning Americans as a whole. Not that I blame them, just that it came to this.

This morning's bedhead encourages you to read Dr. King's Letter From A Birmingham Jail.

Wil Wheaton, with amazing bedhead, sips coffee from a mug that says "Turns out she was right about everything," around a drawing of Hillary Clinton. He's wearing a Starfleet sciences robe. You can tell, just by looking at him, that he used to be cool.

I love when trying to talk to someone but they’re watching TV or something on their phone (because they’re always doing that) and they give you the most bored “can you just shut up so I can go back to my shitty crime drama” look. Makes you feel real wanted.
