So it's appropriate to arrest a world leader if you consider them criminal? You can just go get them? Just asking questions here.

I have lost interest in receiving gifts. Happy to give them, but I’m feeling so overwhelmed by “stuff”. Such a privileged position to be in, and I appreciate the thoughtfulness…but I had started explicitly saying I don’t want anything, and this has resulted in me receiving more gifts than ever.

I assume the vast majority of people have always had controversial, "evil" thoughts in response to various events. I think it's pretty normal to feel a bit happy that someone you consider to be terrible has died, or is suffering. We just didn't post about it for millions to see in the past.

House Dems should drop a ‘Charlie Kirk Gun Safety Act’ on the floor just to make Republicans go on record voting against it.

When we create artificial intelligence robots, they will be given three Laws to safeguard humanity:
1. never do anything to decrease shareholder value.
2. always obey the company unless it conflicts with Law 1.
3. fuck the poor.

There are different ways people choose how long to read a book for. Maybe until the next chapter. Or half an hour more. Or ten more pages.

I often wait until my dog has completed a sleep cycle. "Okay, she's twitching, growling, REMing away, she'll be awake soon so I better stop then."

I have the heart of a passionate rebel activist, but the brain of a hyperventilating panic-riddled neurotically anxious twitchy rabbit.

So yeah, I'll cover up hateful graffiti with a positive message because my soul is screaming at me to do it. But I'll need valium and possibly a puke bag too.

It's not exactly normal to feel like you could fall unconscious at any moment, is it 😐

There are no monsters. It would be simpler if there were, but it's so much worse.

Personally, I like to keep my internet connection vegan by using broadbean.

This time of year is when I ignore that daylight saving has ended, helping me to get out of bed an hour earlier.

It's only a little bit confusing existing in two different time realities.

I have once again misjudged how filling Christmas fruit cake is, having cut myself a slice as if it's birthday cake.

The nausea will pass. I will get through this. Tomorrow is another day to misjudge how big a slice I should cut.

Staring into the abyss is dangerous. Better to scream into the void.
