Social media is fun because you basically just talk to yourself and sometimes a stranger replies to yell at you about why you’re wrong

no joke here, just a reminder that the ultra wealthy do not see you as human but rather as a resource to extract for profit

i finally understand why people admire elon musk; it takes incredible determination and perseverance to have billions of dollars and never, even accidentally, spend a single minute being cool

Dissociating is not upsetting to others if you patiently explain you are a maidenhead on an ancient ship.

It really is funny watching AI people talk about AI as intelligence. Like Jim Henson telling everyone on Sesame Street how scared he is of "the thing that lives in the can."

Anticipatory grief, for me, is: Silently grieving pieces of you while you’re still here, not wanting to upset you or the room, finding quiet corners to sob into, or a void to scream and mourn into later, hoping that letting it out bit by bit makes the final blow somehow easier, but knowing it can’t

Anticipatory grief is wondering what questions I should ask now while you can still reply, weighing the cost of you not being ready to answer and me not being ready to hear it with never knowing what you would have said because I never asked

Anticipatory grief is knowing I have maybe ten years to write you a great eulogy, like you asked me once a long time ago, while also slowly grieving each piece of you we lose while you’re still here— keeping that all in my mind while still trying to push it away, just so I can fully enjoy the moment

My actual job description is activist and here’s what I tell people in despair all the time: do not underestimate how much harm you can prevent by being just a little bit annoying.
This is one reason I keep trying to remind people of the power that we have. That we have *always* had. Not because I’m in denial, but because I know history. I’m no sophisticated intellectual, but I do know we’re going to win even though the bad shit is really terrible right now.
Too many people on Bluesky think that relentless expressions of despair are a sign of intellectual sophistication.

BANANA POEM
Bananas are yellow
A tasty tube fruit
Yummy and boneless
In a tight yellow suit
Bananas with ice cream
Make my heart flutter
Elvis put them in sammies
With smooth peanut butter
They're healthy and filling
And favoured by monkeys
But eat em right quick
Or they get brown and funky

i am trying not to joke about the Epstein stuff because it's so horrible but there's also this ridiculous element where it's like... discovering Dracula is real, he's taken over human society at the highest levels, he's involved in tons of evil and also he's a huge dipshit
