Social media has taught me, that if you have nothing important to say, you should say it on social media.

Whenever people don't know what to gift me, I say good quality maple syrup would be nice. It's such a treat! And no one EVER gets it for me.

What I need to start doing is grabbing their hand, looking them dead in the eye, and saying, "Get me that motherfucking tree crack. The good stuff.".

Not to get too political but it would be nice if everything would stop getting worse.

One of the most annoying conversations I keep having is one wherein I say something like, “I’ve realized I do X and I shouldn’t for reason Y”, and the person I’m talking to says “You do X? You shouldn’t for reason Y”.

Why are we here? Why are you doing this to me? What is the point of this?

I’m still really mad about the TikTok I saw that claimed the colour wheel is “really complicated”, if anyone is wondering about the current state of my mental health.

Autistic people get a lot of crap for being "rigid" but if you understand how we're experiencing the world, certain things are legitimately a big deal. Family-only and family + friends are completely different and it's not even a debate.
If you have autistic relatives for the love of GOD don’t invite them to a family only thing and then drop extra guests on them and make THEM feel like an asshole if they don’t want to come anymore. You’ve fundamentally changed the thing you’ve invited them to.

Did anyone else have the idea, as a child, that “old people music” was music you liked when you became old? Like, once you hit a certain age, you start to really love Elvis.

Stop asking me what is new. Nothing is new. Underneath this hardened carapace, my innards are slowly turning to mulch.

Tonight I met a very educated, accomplished, beautiful woman who is clearly in love with a total jackass, and it made me feel a lot more sympathetic to my younger self and the bad terrible no good dating choices I made.

Any article observing that the AI bubble is about to burst *but then suggesting AI is too important to our financial systems to be allowed to fail* is missing the point. Generative AI is a massive fraud and a brain drain on humanity, even leaving theft and resource issues aside.

Isn't it interesting that people have this notion that we only discovered cigarettes caused serious illness in the mid 1900's, but I'm reading a book from 1866 that states the dangers of smoking as well-known fact.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, with the Trump presidency. It's clear that having no shame/morals has been a big advantage for his campaign, and enough people either don't mind or don't push back against this. Is the solution to be more moral in the face of this? It doesn't seem to work.

I’ve come to realize that nothing makes me flash-rage like people taking my comments disingenuously.

Me: “Sometimes one shouldn’t do X”
Them: “Only an idiot would say to never do X”

WHO are you arguing with?! Not me, cuz I didn’t say that! Set yourself on fire (respectfully).

God, I’m so conflicted. I hate Westerns, but I adore Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson….

Nah, who am I kidding, I’m definitely going to watch this.
This week, Netflix will drop a western with Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson as warring matriarchs of opposing clans. Not a one of the dozens of media writers I follow online has ever mentioned this show, and yet its three-week-old trailer has over 1M views. Make it make sense.

I just watched a TikTok wherein a POC said that white people have no idea that there is inter-white racism (eg. against the Irish) and it's so bizarre to me that she thinks we don't know that.

So then I thought I should tell my white friends this story, and then I realized I have no white friends.

IDK why, but I find those spam emails that are very sexually inappropriate so funny when they phrase the subject as a question. Like "Some lewd phrase?". "Please X my Y?" lol I dunno, makes me giggle.

Sometimes when I’m getting dressed I think things like, “I better wear an extra layer in case I need to use my sweater to help bind someone’s wound” and TRULY what the fuck is going on in my head. I live in TORONTO.
