It. Doesn't. Mean. Anything.

Virginity is literally a social construct but the number of seemingly progressive secular people who place value & meaning on it is staggering

People who claim they support queer people but then make jokes about virgins & people who don't have sex... We all see you. We all hear you. Some of us care. Do better

Erin's pasty ass arm. Inside the elbow there is a bright red dot with a big black/green/yellow bruise surrounding it

Just south of where I'm currently living, a tornado briefly touched down & the local weather teams are LIVING for the "tornadic activity" 🀣 If you've never experienced Midwest local weather reports you truly have no idea what you're missing

Trying to figure out if I want pizza or if I actually just want pepperoni

Hey guys, you know what Britney Spears doesn't need right now? Everyone piling on & acting like a bunch of assholes. You most likely don't understand substance use disorders, alcohol use disorders, OR how much being a celebrity (especially as a child) is actually traumatic af. Seriously. Just don't.

Omfg it's real. This is like Info Wars putting out an adaptation of 1984. I can't wait for the ending where it's revealed that the power of woke is what corrupted the pigs

Is Angel Studios really releasing an animated version of Animal Farm or was this just a dystopian nightmare I had last week?

I just saw something this week about guys not washing their buttholes because it's "gay". So I guess even washing your own ass is unacceptable now πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Right now it's 2026. I will not vote for Gavin Newsom for president in 2028. I'm not doing this shit for the rest of my life. The end.

Instead of shoving Gavin Newsom down everyone's throats, let's find someone who, for example:

β€’ gives a shit about trans people, unhoused people, non-rich people
β€’ doesn't flip flip on Israel
β€’ doesn't bro out on right wing podcasts
β€’ doesn't think trolling is a legitimate governing tactic

Damn. I'm badass actually. & I look good as hell for an almost 42 year old who's been under near constant stress & trauma the entire time πŸ’β€β™€οΈ

Same. Though I've been invalidated by boomers for almost my entire life so I've convinced myself I'm actually incapable. But I graduated from college in 2007 & managed to successfully launch a career in live professional theatre despite the recession & Michigan killing arts funding & film incentives

I hate how AI slop, trad wives, & health grifters ruined Pinterest. Right wing billionaires (aka billionaires) destroy everything they touch

Ok but seriously what if many/most/all punk/grunge/post-grunge/alternative artists are/were neurodivergent?? I'm just saying...πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Text at the top reads: When you didn't expect to reach 18 but 42 is around the corner. Under that is a picture of Mr. Meeseeks (from Rick and Morty) looking distressed. Text under Mr. Meeseeks reads: I'm not supposed to exist that long. This is getting weird.

I just saw someone's post about being unsure about having ADHD except they typed it as DHD

I'm so tired. I hope there is a special section of hell just for nazis. Mostly because they deserve it but also because I don't want to spend the rest of my eternity with them. The last (almost) 42 years has been more than enough...

I'm in an ongoing discussion (pile on) about this with some assholes in the true crime community. Which, for the record, is filled with right wing jerks πŸ™„ Apparently empathy is just stupidity & I'm the worst (insert jerk off motion). I WISH they were just trolling me because then I could let it go

I am blown away by how many people are unwilling to believe that our brains will go out of their way to protect us from seeing/experiencing fucked up shit. Please just read a teeny, tiny bit about trauma if you (somehow) have not experienced it. It makes so much more sense than conspiracy theories

Also, despite being dark comedies they both have pretty realistic & not exploitative representations of mental illness & trauma. Bojack Horseman gets bonus points for its thoughtful representations of intergenerational trauma, substance use disorders, & asexuality.

I haven't found one for my current job (Medical Records Coordinator) but former career faves would be Bojack Horseman &/or Barry. Both represent the absurdity of working in entertainment with the extremely dark humor & pathos it deserves. πŸ’–πŸ’–Sarah Goldberg as Sally & Kristen Schaal as Sarah LynnπŸ’–πŸ’–

The world is scary & dumb as hell right now but my brain is still like "Is Fifa going to take back the prize??" because that shit would be hilarious. Also it would be the only institution holding him accountable for committing a lifetime's worth of crimes but we need to start somewhere
