most cutting thing you can say is "who's this clown?" because it implies they're a) a clown & b) not even one of the better-known clowns

I genuinely don't get it, does it just go viral more often? or do people actually prefer mildly witty one-sided riffing to actual prepared material because it's more "real"? is it like that thing where dumb people always want to believe that the actors improvise all their lines in sitcoms?

it has always really stressed me out when a performer starts engaging in a direct conversation with somebody in the audience so that's a second thing I don't love about standup these days

fortunately, my life is in a much better place than it has been during some episodes. and a lifetime of dealing with this shit has given me the tools to handle it. I'm talking about it because it's something I always feel deeply ashamed of while it's happening and that's bullshit. I'm wonderful

as the day has worn on, I have come to acknowledge that I may indeed be entering a depressive episode. these hit every 18 months or so and usually last a couple of weeks. anhedonia, intense lethargy, intrusive self-loathing and the uh-oh ideations, plus the overwhelming urge to withdraw completely

*major depressive episode hurtles towards me as swiftly, indifferently, and inescapable as a blastwave that briefly stains the sky yellow before darkening it for decades*
me: (david byrne voice) UH-oh!

experience a tremendous amount of physical pain that lasts for at least five days without relief, forcing you to experience every second as it comes, one at a time, such that joy is an impossibility, sleep a struggle, and even boredom a distant dream. this will help you accept the certainty of death
