I had a dream. I was showing a friend around the Portland area, and this friend was surprised about how few black people there were, as my friend in the dream was black. We were in a Trader Joe’s and he had just tried a sample and said to me “you have to try this cracker!” And I whispered….

My daughter, 12, describes the Pacific Northwest : “cold beaches and cold bitches.”

I know I am late to this, but Tyler the Creator is a genius. Until recently I hadn’t heard any of his music, just his insanely hilarious interviews. I am a fan.

I can achieve anything I put my mind to, unless it is boring or hard.

I used to put all the stupid things in my brain on Facebook as a sort of journal. I shall start that here.

Behold, a cheesy pickup line.

Are you made of MSG? ….. because uuuumami.

De-Nazify shit.

I saw this license plate at an intersection. It grabbed my attention because it was my rating and rank in the Navy, safe to assume of the person driving as well. I imagined the type of person who would put their rank and rating on their license plate.

I am doing my best to share my thoughts on here instead of other platforms that aren’t really helping the world be better. But I never really got in to the format of Twitter. This seems to follow that format. I hate the word limit. It just seems to try to keep things superficial.

“Protect the children” is something I usually hear in a context that has nothing at all to do with actually protecting children. It has always blown my mind. Today I read something that blew my mind and explains exactly why.

I have always believed that child are fellow humans who deserve the same…

Humor helps me get through hard times. They want me to be afraid. I have a hard time coming up with funny stuff when the next unprecedented executive order could suddenly stop all special education funding and leave me unemployed.

people are trying to find solace by saying that putin’s best American asset is surrounding himself with incompetent people. But that is a stretch. I am not saying his cabinet and advisors are great, but 1: even narcissists can learn from their mistakes and they had four years of those to learn from.

I never really caught on to how to use Twitter. This feels like Twitter. Tik tok isn’t fun anymore because I no longer see the very informative international posts. It feels like Tik tok has succumbed to propagandizing like x and meta

So how do I use this app to see cool unpropogandized stuff?

Land acknowledgments: I feel iffy about them. It feels like performative allyship. Might as well say “I acknowledge my ancestors murdered and drove your ancestors away from here, but I am not going to do anything except say I am one of the good colonialists doing nothing with good intentions.”

The ultra wealthy have long been spreading the propaganda that the poor folks just need to scrimp, save, and work harder to succeed. This myth is important to them so that they don’t feel guilty for hoarding resources AND to prevent revolution.

Is this where the resistance is happening? If so, how long until this becomes a product that the billionaires buy up and propagandize?
