I know it's nothing I have control over unless I see it directly, but if you're transphobic, racist, misogynistic, or a Republican, I don't feel like you deserve to have access to me.

I don't want you following me. I don't want to see your comments. You've violated the social contract, leave.

The closest Thanksgiving gets to being horny is the "go to the bar after family dinner and have an ill-advised hook-up with someone you went to high school with" aspect of it and even then you saw where I said ill-advised in there

I stopped going because I can't do those crowds anymore but I have a feeling this won't be the last org/event that's cancelled this year. Arts organizations are *not* okay.

I’m listening to the Annihilation soundtrack. For some reason, eerie and atmospheric sci-fi soundtracks help the most when I’m in this state.
Brain bats feel a bit insurmountable today and the morning dog walk went very poorly and it's going to be a real case of faking it until I make it, I think.

Who cares if someone thinks Die Hard is a Christmas movie or, conversely, thinks Die Hard is not a Christmas movie.

Hot take, the Addams Family Values “anti thanksgiving” bit relies on negative stereotypes of Natives being violent and scalping people, when historically they were the ones scalped, i.e. “red skins,” and maybe isn’t as woke as people think it is.

New sleep paralysis demon just dropped
People did notice the talking dog or so the article says.

Now, I've never read the strip so until yesterday I had no idea what Tige looked like. I am pretty sure it was a demon.

I feel like maybe it’s time to found an anti-doomsday cult.

I’m definitely more of a “Brainiac wants to shrink cities from different planets and stick them in bottles” gay than a “Brainiac wants to digitize and destroy the universe” gay.

The Black Knight: So I analyzed your genetic structure and finally figured out what’s up with your powers.
The Wasp: Oh right, you’re a brilliant scientist. I always forget about that because of how stupid you are in literally every other aspect of your life.
