yep exactly. there are an exciting variety to be found

this hasn’t gotten any *better* in the last month

there are questions where if you have to ask them the entire situation is messed up regardless of the answer

I have said “oh yeah totally” to more insane shit in order to close a conversation this week than I have probably most of last year

as many longtime followers know I’m a big proponent of logging off and surrounding yourself with the everyday flow of life but I have to admit that this week being offline has produced significantly more psychic damage than online, and it’s not because you all calmed down on here

I mean yeah I would believe that

We're at a point where there are no cheap options to retreat to and no price points that guarantee quality. Every run-down studio is $1400, every fast food meal is $17, every luxury condo has peel-n-stick tiles, every $300 pair of boots falls apart. Endless expensive mediocrity.

this is why I stay on social media

Oh we now we’re posting

this is a good pick

man, @publichealthguy1.bsky.social was (afaik) the first former CDC person to publicly call *explicitly* for RFK's resignation, rather than gently scold him, and he's currently being called a piece of shit and dogpiled for saying vaccine hesitant parents are facing a bad information environment

you said you were gonna bake when this happened
