I'm just a girl, caught in a tawdry affair with the written word. I bleed ink & cry whiteout. 75% GIF. Queer. She/Her.

I have had so many conversations about how they could have taken over AND kept the population happy by just...providing for basic needs. Like Lawful Evil exists, my dude. Could have Utopia'd us into quiet subservience, but nooooo. Chaotic Evil every damn time.
I will die on this hill. The opportunity to just make sure we all had housing and food was RIGHT THERE. We're so desperate for stability at this point, we would have GIVEN away our data or whateverthefuck they want so badly. I genuinely don't understand why Evil regimes can't just be smart about it.
I don't know why I expected my flu-ridden family to be immediately cured after the holidays.

Introduced my gender-norm-obsessed 5yo to drag queens today. Unfortunately, I underestimated how interested she'd be in make up. Now I need to study an entire language I've never understood.

There's no cure for burnout. We're expected to just suck it up and keep going.

Working with clay. I'm realizing that I know a lot less about color theory than I thought I did.

Last Week Nina decided she wanted to get into dark romance. She also decided we needed to finally read Haunting Adeline. We hate her.

I legitimately could not make it through this movie without a whole rant because I was so annoyed by the "lessons."
My family reminds me that I lack whimsy on a daily basis. 🥲

In retrospect, the Lorax is the most disastrous children's book to have ever been written. The beloved book depicts economies of scale as destructive and environmental advocacy as failing to achieve any of your goals except being smug and correct in the end when industry burns itself out.

The impossible cycle of increasing daily pain levels with exercise--in the hopes of one day having less pain--only to do MORE damage, causing more pain, and increasing recovery time...to then be in pain so long you get no gains from the initial pain and have to start over.

Last night I fell down half a flight of stairs. Today, I am very grateful for the physical depersonalization my therapist is trying to convince me to "fix."

Don't you do this to me, John. Don't.
I'VE TRIED THE APPLE PIE MAC AND CHEESE. It was surprisingly okay! Light hints of apple, cinnamon and nutmeg, not enough to overpower the usual mac and cheese flavor, and not unpleasant. I wouldn't buy more boxes of it, but I will happily eat the ones we have. Should you try it? Sure, why not.

I thought I was actually dying this afternoon and it turned out to be acid reflux. So that's a new thing.

I'm just so sad and dejected. Hope seems like naivete at this point.
How are you feeling about the situation?
I’m still beyond furious.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

This. I hate this. People who see the lane is ending and drive on pass where everyone is merging so they're causing problems at the "front" of the line.
We gotta do a nationwide inquest into antisocial behavior. Leaving your dog's poop on the street. Not returning shopping carts. The What's Wrong With You initiative
people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

Small talk during work meetings makes me want to put my head through a wall. I don’t care about your new kitten or what you did on the weekend. Please get to the point so I can leave.

Being forced to read "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and "Great Expectations" in school made me doubt classic literature for YEARS. I didn't touch anything pre-1980 until I was an adult. Such a waste.
it is more important to read books you actually enjoy reading than books that are Literature
Tell me your most unhinged literary opinion, as a little treat

My cat now complains to my husbands if I'm not in bed by a certain time. Normally a quiet girl, but let me miss a bedtime and she's HOWLING. She watches me get under the covers, stands around for a while, then fucks off to do...cat things? I'm mildly offended.

I want to sleep but I also want to eat. Honestly, I owe an apology to every Sim I've ever yelled at for collapsing on the floor while starving.

I want to go through Octavia Butler's entire catalog, but I'm afraid it'll be TOO GOOD. I don't have time to be fundamentally altered on a philosophical level.
