Sure, you can type "Ya" when you mean "Yeah", but you can't stop me from reading it as if you're Teri Garr in Young Frankenstein.

I hate it when the slithy toves gyre and gimble in the wabe. Gyreing is bad enough, but to add gimbling to it? Fuck off. I don't care if it is brillig, get the fuck off my wabe and go fuck yourself.

money can't buy happiness means rich people can't bribe reality to make them inwardly contented with their own personal demons they fashioned while stepping on the throats of others, not that people shouldn't need basic living necessities in a modern fucking society like shelter food and medicine

With the popular messaging of the past week, I feel like it’s worth noting that it is also genocidal to be killing *adults* in Palestine. Like, if your messaging is just “Stop Killing Children!”, suppose that condition were to be met. Like… would it all be okay then?

For any number of reasons, any of us might end up in a stranger’s dreams. On the bus or in line at the coffee shop, the brain stores images that fill out the dreamscape. That’s fine. But when you’re told to get out of that person’s dreams and into their car, that’s wildly inappropriate. Be safe.

Take a look at the soil surrounding any city with a large underground homosexual population- Des Moines, Iowa- take a look at the soil around Des Moines: you can’t grow anything on it, you can’t build on it.

This is the fundamental problem of all fucking organising and it makes me scream. Solidarity cannot be transactional because showing it with those most under attack is the single best way to protect yourself and the only way it works and they will not be able to give back what you give them.

In the grocery store in the produce section overheard a guy explaining the all the different kinds of squash and I thought it was super annoying but then I saw that it was a dad teaching his teen son about cooking and then I was, like, okay I don’t mind that so much.

Know how some junk mail is given a presentation that looks like a check to trick you into opening it? I allow myself a moment to consider that it might actually be a check. “Ooh I wonder how much it’s for! I wonder how I’ll spend it!” I enjoy that moment and don’t feel at all cheated when I open it.
