I… hate rituals… the togetherness music and speeches turn me into the grinch… 

I do appreciate the material sans context, but I believe it should be consumed in the privacy of one’s room as one uglycries over the fragility of human civilization and then resolves to do what little one can to protect it. Doing that stuff together, there’s something almost obscene about it that sends one’s antipropagandistic system on high alert that some beautiful personal faculty is being hijacked for a profane public purpose.

Whenever there’s massive California fires I get reminded of precisely how many of my online friends live in one very small strip of land in one corner of the planet and like, that can’t be sustainable, I have a friend monoculture they’re all vulnerable to a virulent infection called being on fire.

Hello! I hope this email finds you well! Please be aware that these exclamation points are equivalent to a prey animal signalling alarm, and I am afraid of you!

#anxiety #relatable #exclamation points are like smiling #(and indeed smiley-face emoticons fulfil the same function) #people say it’s about conveying happiness and excitement #and *sometimes* that’s true #but other times the point is to show off the *lack* of sharpness in your teeth #”please‚ I’m no threat to you‚ please show me some mercy”

not a big fan of that captcha thing where you gotta wait 30 minutes for google to decide if it wants to show you another bus

and that captcha thing where it never explicitly tells you if you succeeded or not, so you’re never sure if it’s making you do it like six times because you suck or because it’s just Like That

What “reverse harem anime” means: A bunch of dudes compete for the romantic favour of a female protagonist.

What “reverse harem anime” SHOULD mean: A bunch of characters strive to avoid becoming romantically entangled with the protagonist, and for some reason beyond the protagonist’s control this is very difficult to accomplish.

Just woke up from a scary dream where I went home but when I got there, there was another Me inside, so I was banging on the door like let me in PLEASE. And all my friends and my sister were like uuhhh?? But then the Other Me told them to hear me out, and I got inside, and we were like. We decided it didn’t matter. There could just be two of me now and that was fine.

She was nice

Today’s aesthetic: a footnote inside a parenthetical inside an interjection inside a subordinate clause.

(You can tell how many levels of academia somebody is on based on whether this post makes them feel offended, traumatised, or just vaguely called out.)
