im very happy in my solitude, my life is fine, and eating squares of jack cheese directly from the bag while staring glassy-eyed at a movie whose name i couldn’t tell you if my life depended on it is a sign of a deep psychic ease.

I'm actually kind of looking forward to Jared Kushner & the Saudis Un-Woke-Ing the entire EA Video game library.

Frankly tired of every single Companion in Dragon Age & Mass Effect trying to get down my pants.

Especially Liara T'Soni. What a whore. No Means No, you bossy blue TRAMP.

NGL... I'm intrigued.

Who else would at least try it?

Oh shit, ANTIFA is suiting up

From the sound of music. Seven children stand in a line inside a grand house, wearing identical light blue sailor-style uniforms with dark collars, neckties, and knee socks. They are arranged from tallest to shortest, standing at attention on a patterned rug with a staircase and ornate wall paneling behind them.

Tonight I made chicken house salads & bacon cheeseburgers.

Homemade salad with roast chicken lettuce, tomato, bell pepper, carrot, onion, jalapeno & black olives.

If you’re particularly despairing tonight, remember that you can always choose to show up tomorrow and help people. Narrow your capacity for concern to a specific person or place through volunteering. It feels good. Call your local school or aldercritter’s office to ask about opportunities.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.
