Note from my notebook from 2016 which I find has only grown in pertinence in the intervening decade.

I know I buy far too many books but I like to think that lining the walls of my house with them wards off evil in some deeply important way.

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a raging snowstorm, and Agatha Christie novel, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, and a basket of emotional support pastries.

I feel a lot of pressure to make my first post “good,” but since I know I’ll fail by any criteria, here’s a poem. I’m sorry/you’re welcome.

Text of Poem Reads as below
“
Exit Poll
November 5, 2024

Do you consider yourself
More venal
or more stupid?

Did you vote for a candidate who
wanted to preserve American democracy
Or nah?

Do you hate everyone
Who isn’t exactly you?

Why are you fucks?

Why are white men such weak, pathetic, scared, pellucidly soulless tiny beings?
(#NotAll)
(#Obvs)

Why would a choad holding combover
half-assed celebrity rapist
multiple bankruptee
literal criminal probable traitor
who’s already been impeached twice
seem like a good bet,
ya rube?
“

I don't want to piss anyone off but I'm a Star Trek fan because a world where money is NOT the prime motivation, rather, advancement of humanity- that is a world I'd love to help create. Star wars... Shit, that is what we have now- but the assholes have even more powerful weapons!

Shh. Don’t say it out loud or the men will make this a trend, the way they made carrying pads around as a ploy to woo the ladies 😭
