I am SO glad I finally scored the GHOUL-AID! It’s an amazing promotion, and the packaging, art, and concept are all so wonderful. And to make the whole thing “GLOW IN THE DARK!”

…having said that, I’m good now. I won’t be getting this one again

It tastes like berry-flavored tums

the reason you can't say "sexual assault" or "rape" on so many major platforms is because the christofascists demanding this censorship from tech companies want to keep wielding sexual violence in the dark as a tool of power

the forced self-censorship gibberish we all have to do on social media now is having a devastating effect on the way people communicate with each other. nobody in a healthy society is saying "unalived"

…So I got a haircut. It was time.

I *hate* getting a haircut. I work with a bunch of normie conservative bros and I’m always afraid of getting lumped in with those assholes.

Fortunately, my loving bride ALWAYS knows what to say.

I’m still not *stoked* about the haircut, but it was needed.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Car appointment. Kia Dealership. For my bride’s car.

I show up early. They came out to get me when they open, very nice. It’s worth mentioning at this time the lobby TV was *not* on.

I get my coffee, check in, and when I do sit down; the lobby TV is on a serial killer marathon.

That’s profiling.

A weird documentary about Ed Kemper. Before that it was the Night Stalker.
There are other people here now. Families! And I DON’T have the remote. Kia saw me and said “yeah.”

Why is this, the *fancy* Northern Virginia Kia dealership, why is their in-house classic rock station playing Bobby Brown’s seminal track “On Our Own,” from the landmark album the GHOSTBUSTERS II soundtrack?

Unsure, but it’s too good not to share.
