I need to get off this place for at least a couple days. Please tell me to go away if you see me, thanks a lot.

But I’m really not going to put up with people telling me to go to therapy because I want to do that and currently cannot. That’s a very sensitive point for me and you will be blocked if you bring it up.

I swear to God. I was fucking raised a conservative, and even I saw through Trump from the start. And that was before he started unleashing violence on people. I really do not have sympathy for those who voted for him in 2024, as they had far more evidence against him than I had in 2016.

You still voted for the Leopard Eating Faces, motherfucker. You voted for Pierre to die. Be haunted by that your whole life long. Maybe that’ll make you vote better.

It’s probably not a great sign when you feel the need to bribe people in a demographic that usually provides reliable support to your party.

An optimist would hope that the result of the botched execution in Tennessee would be that people would think “maybe this whole killing thing is a bad idea” and not “we need to get better at killing”. I am not an optimist.

It’s been a bad day for me. Another day when I really don’t see the reason to live. I did finally get an appointment for therapy, so maybe that could help.

Not sure what it says about our world or my browsing history that when I type “Springfield” on Wikipedia, the first one to come up on the list of suggested articles is not any of the real places by that name, but rather the fictional one from The Simpsons.

The United States is actually one of only two countries on earth to practice citizenship based taxation, where having that country’s citizenship is enough to require you to participate in its tax system, regardless of whether you actually live there (and thus actually use services there).

I won’t defend his actions at the end, but he was certainly right that Howie needed to take a chill pill about people practicing other religions. And that their fertility rituals aren’t any weirder than Jesus being the son of a virgin impregnated by a ghost.

One of the reasons I hate being on the job market is that I cannot sell myself worth shit. Hell, I can’t sell anything worth shit. That’s why I’m in public service. But even public servants who find themselves out of a job have to try to sell themselves for a new one, which I can’t do worth shit.

CW: Suicide It’s really hard to take suicide prevention courses when suicidal ideation is a thing you have. Every story feels like yours being dredged up again. Every time they explain how suicidal people think, you think to yourself “that’s not how everyone is?”

I really cannot be anything but bearish about the United States now. The Republicans are open fascists, but what really leaves me unable to have any optimism is that the Democrats are flirting with fascism. This is especially about their increasing willingness to abandon support for trans people.

Essentially never is something truly untranslatable in terms of meaning. Most commonly, what we’re really saying is that a word in another language cannot be rendered in a single word in the target language. Wanderlust, for example, needs probably three English words to translate it.
