THERE SHOULD BE 48 HOURS A DAY 24 TO LOCK IN AND 24 TO FUJO OUT

anyone else living paralyzed by fear that you'll say one wrong thing and get excluded from the very small places you managed to carve for yourself because you don't have the mental strength to reach out to others anymore

or am i just insane

the grinch is fucked up right. he was created specifically as a critique of the commercialization of christmas, but now all his edge has been sanded off. now he's a generic mascot for "hates christmas," which is great to have because the commercialization of christmas has become so overbearing that that's a demographic you can market to! and now he's just part of the Christmas Fold. he's santa's edgier joker counterpart. he has become the very thing he sought to destroy. back in november i checked out a customer with a $1100 order and most of it was grinch merchandise

yes you're annoying sometimes. everyone is annoying sometimes. the people who love you find that pales into insignificance alongside the happiness that you bring them. you are worth the occasional bouts of annoyingness. frankly the occasionally being annoying is in fact the lead strips in the stained glass window of the experience of being your friend: without it there is no meaning. everything works better in contrasts. no i do not especially want to hear about your dnd campaign but i am going to ask you about it anyway because i love you and i like it when you're happy. do you see.

There was a time Scott "Dilbert Guy" Adams was seen as a "smart" public figure & somehow this was the same time he was publishing books where he talked about his belief in the Law of Attraction, advanced alternate theories of gravity, and created a inedible Dilbert-themed vegan burrito that contained every important vitamin & mineral since that makes it The Most Healthy Food & incomprehensibly branded it "the blue jeans of food" (since "everyone likes" & "almost everyone wears" blue jeans, just like how everyone would like & eat a Dilbert-themed undifferentiated lump of minerals that would destroy your guts if you so much as smelled it)

RIP to the Dilbert guy, creator of the Dilberito, who spent his last days begging Donald Trump to let him try a fake treatment and declaring his intent to convert to Christianity at the last minute bc of Pascal's Wager

this is a message to all babytrans. you may come across a subreddit or maybe even a 4chan board that is made up entirely of the most miserable trans people you’ve ever met. they have their own lingo borrowed straight from incel communities. but instead of being an incel where cishet men tell each other that women will never want to fuck them because of 2 mm of browbone, it’s trans women telling each other that they will never be a woman because of 2 mm of browbone. it’s trans men calling other trans men pooners for having a round face instead of a chiseled gigachad jawline. but they swear it’s not a toxic community because they’re all hiding under several layers of irony, so you can never really tell if someone is being serious. and it’s very important that you never visit these forums, even out of morbid curiosity

since this post is making rounds i feel like resharing this for no reason in particular

But when I say the “wholesome and funny” YouTube short I have been handed of students surprise showing their teachers 10+ year old photos of themselves and most them were emo/goth in some way and every single one now has medium brown beach waves and is wearing head to toe beige and immediately screams and hides the photo like it’s the most embarrassing thing in the world is a hallmark of a deeply insidious tendency to associate socially acceptable WASPy aesthetics with maturity and responsibility and perpetuates the idea that everyone grows up, “gets right” and becomes the most digestible unobtrusive heterosexual I’m “taking it too seriously”

“It’s not that serious” oh but it issssss because every day we perpetuate the idea that non-conformity of any kind to the white straight middle class standard is inherently immature and gets “left behind” when someone becomes a socially acceptable adult

This idea that maturity is conformity is everywhereeee if you look for even a moment
