I truly love the smell of sportswear.

It's all rubbery with the promise of sweat 🀌🏽

Got the new balance and the njkes bc I intend to run them both into oblivion and I don't want to have my schedule derailed by needing to go get new shoes.

I will regret not buying these when I die.

I don't need these. I absolutely DO NOT NEED THESE.

But also...

They squeak

A New Balance 8 is not the same as a Nike 8. FYI.

I hate to buy pretty kicks bc I know how they're gonna wind up. And the one time I find my size immediately they don't have a second pair. I was fully intent on doubling up today and having running shoes for the next 12 months.

Thanks πŸ™πŸ½ they really are and they really do bc I love my ppl hard. But that Aquarius energy cuts off the emotional tap pretty swiftly. One thing I'm doing every time is protecting my peace. I think we'll always "be friends" but I made it pretty plain we're not where we were and we're not going back.

I started this outline around Christmas break bc I keep getting confounded at all of the people who want my help - from personal to professional - who literally refuse to face themselves and follow-through on their own ideas.

You have to stop looking for permission to be pathetic, from people who don't know you, and truly will forget about you if your profile goes offline.

The gag is that you have to be the change you want to see in the world. If you want your painful, pitiful, hard-luck, struggle-city life to change, THEN YOU HAVE TO CHANGE IT. YOU.

And then people log-on and say "this is trash"

meanwhile they've never created anything at all in their entire lives.

Never once taken a risk, or explored another direction.

God, where is this asteroid?

People want things to be different and better and they will not change one single tihng about themselves to get there.

I have the emails and DMs to show you.

All the unrealized ideas. All the excuses. All the reasons why you are afaid of yourself and want to live there forever.

My problem is that when I talk shit I could back it up and I love to fight actually, and I'm so chronically online that I can tell you that the majority of social media losers are below a 5th grade reading level and will die with unrealized ambitions because they're afraid of online bullies.

Imagine being a "Barber/Barista. I cut hair and play video games." and thinking that you have any basis to say the dialogue of anything is terrible.

When you very likely don't know how to critically read anything, and couldn't write a 5-page paper to save your life.

The trouble with the internet is that stupid people log-on and think their opinions are worth anything when what they really fucking need is a diary and a guidance counselor.

Honestly I think it's time I leaned into the dark arts.

I have enough rage in me I think.

It's time to experiment with hexing bc a lot of people need it.

I get it, Anakin.

And men across the internet are commenting "nah he's too real for this"

"this dude funny fr fr πŸ˜…"

And all it is is them internalzing "as long as you're funny it's OK to be a bad guy"

Men don't mind humiliating themselves for other men, or performing the role of jester if it makes them appear endearing and non-threatening.

But that same clown raped and attacked women and his rage and violence has been documented.

We can only hope Shai overdoses and takes himself out.

Seeing as there is no media or producer or peer or stranger on the street willing to do what needs to be done.

Also when men don't speak up about violence against women it tells you everything you need to know.

They don't want to have to make it their problen.

They do not want one single thing about the system to change. They only want you not to mention it to them.

The internet (it's all of us here together) is fucking dumb.

Like it's bad bad. It's worse than you think.

People are morons and getting dumber everyday.

Anyway, watch out for bots.

Don't let them rope you in too much.

And if you give laughter to villain you're too stupid to accept your own part in perpetuating violence against women.

The continued normalization of re-accepting dangerous men into contemporary society is patriarchy at work but that's way too much brain power for most people.
