  • it literally fills three-dimensional space

    am i passionate about it, or does my soul evoke/imbue/extract a passion from it? is it a grasping shell? a plastic rock? i couldn’t currently tell you how i feel about it, except strongly. #3d #make #abstract

    i need an association with ‘good morning’ that isn’t “good morning to everyone EXCEPT…” or the beginning of ‘Graduation’, cuz neither of those is a good morning. really i need my brain to not jump to the nearest cultural reference in response to quite literally everything. #filler #actuallyabackendtest

  • jesus fucking christ

    i settled on the tagline for this blog, “liveblogging the apocalypse”, well before the election — it’s not a fresh concept. a particular facet i feel like exploring now is that notion that came around during pandemic — for interactions, assume(x), where x = “the feeling of everything crumbling in shocking ways so fast that…

  • what do i do now

    i would like to report that after 7 years, hundreds of hours, an immense amount of data processing, and an all-but-extinguished spark of hope… i’ve finally found that one stand-up comedy recording i’ve been looking for in my backups. i’m (psych meds allowing) fucking exuberant.

  • they just hit my makeup wall, i’m sensitive

    “subscribe now” pop-ups, cookie hasslers, etc. are the drug store deodorant lockboxes of current web design. apart from the fact that we litigated this in the 90s — you’re looking at the minority of the equation if you think it hasn’t gone too far. i couldn’t care less if your newsletter signup conversion rate goes…

  • just call me agitated

    i finally found a broad-scope rundown about leon rn, including why what he does works (in both good and bad ways), how he’s changed the world, and the general depths of his ego, psychopathy, and danger. i suspect the reason this particular video scratches the itch for me is because i’m finding it hard to…

  • quick, and to the bravery

    i can draw a line from cis folks performatively putting pronouns in their email signatures to the current brand of anti-transgenderism flourishing in trump’s second. when i cringe that hard, its more of a flinch, y’know?

    remember the song “Cat’s in the Cradle”? boomer fathers got a whole-ass hit song with a cautionary tale about parental relationships. instead of using it to change their behavior, they took it to mean their own fathers probably felt bad.

  • subliminal messages abound

    my golly, an excellent aspect of nobody paying attention anymore is that it becomes a lot harder for me to overshare if you’ve already tuned out.

  • i swear we’re three layers of irony deep

    the tragedy of zoomers is they didn’t have a derogatory word for rich kids who went to an all-boys school and then became keen to african american vernacular english in order to overuse it.

  • on my bullshit

    it’s really important to take random months off of hormones, in order to acclimate to acclimating.

  • on building a custom website to exclude yourself from

    ok i love how there’s literally nobody following this and i’m STILL getting worked up in my head about posting due to “taking up too much space”. it’s going to be harder than i thought to get back to this.

  • twitter is dead. long live twitter.

    i’m really happy there’s a big push away from twitter right now. a bit overdue. bluesky is an imperfect destination, but any move toward federation is the right move right now. currently, the brid.gy fed handle is over at @quix.lol.web.brid.gy . this also seems like an imperfect solution, but this is all SO new right…
