“Bluesky is an echo chamber because no one wants to hear my fatuous contrarian braying” is certainly a take.

Diane Keaton in her Manhattan apartment with Buster, an Abyssinian, photographed by Jill Krementz in 1977

black & white photograph of young Diane Keaton smiling and standing next to a white refrigerator in a barren-looking kitchen. her cat Buster is crouched on top of the fridge playing with/swatting her hair in the upper right hand corner. she's wearing a long skinny white scarf with a dot-grid pattern, a high-neck white blouse with an ascot/kerchief around the neck, and a black blazer/skirt or blazer dress over what looks like a vest

No, no, precious Andrew, it is saying that you are an unctuous toad, and no one likes you.

Happy Friday!

It’s time to start pulling away from the internet, when a video of squirrels jumping on a trampoline causes a deep crisis of existentialism, and dread about what potential simulacra will drive us all to ruin.

Overwhelmed with a sort of sadness. The tech bros have even ruined the simple joy of watching a clip of a cute animal doing a silly thing. Now, instead of laughing, I have to question its‘ authenticity. why must they rob everything of wonder?

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

Picked up the Ambergris trilogy, brilliant stuff, so much I had to buy the first book, because I was excited to read several pages of a fictional(?) bibliography.

Discworld QOTD, from Men at Arms

“If you had enough money, you could hardly commit crimes at all. You just perpetrated amusing little peccadilloes.”

Discworld QOTD, from The Wee Free Men

Tiffany was on the whole quite a truthful person, but it seemed to her that there were times when things didn’t divide easily into ‘true’ and ‘false’, but instead could be ‘things that people needed to know at the moment’ and ‘things that they didn’t need to know at the moment’.
