indigo nights

they don't tell you this but if ur really lonely for a long time, a hole starts forming in ur heart and the longer u feel lonely the bigger the hole gets and it doesn't matter if u feel less lonely when ur older bc the hole stays forever and ur life just grows around it. But the hole is always there.

the most important virtues for the young woman are as follows: time theft, selfishness, orgasms, irreverence to authority, sacrilegious behavior, a questioning mind, and eating regular meals.

THE BOTTOM IS A PAINTING????

also does a really good job reminding the view just how much air quality has improved since we stopped burning coal in every building lol

AI has made the internet so much less fun. I don't want to question whether a photo of a bunny is real. I don't want to worry about someone making a deepfake just because I posted a pic with my friends. I want to read a recipe and know that the photo is a real cake they made. Yes I know I need to touch grass but also I think I should be allowed to interact online without second-guessing whether someone fabricated every image for personal gain

btw this is about the tragedy of the commons. it's not about spending too much time online or whatever - it's about the fact that a handful of people are polluting the collective space to the detriment of everyone else, and that there is no way to stop them from doing that. it sucks and it's killing the internet, and I'm mad about that

when women point out that “sex work” is rape and the enlightened leftists sigh condescendingly and tell us that all work is coerced and nobody likes their job, and you realize they think that at the very least they believe there is a subset of women on these earth (if not all of us) whose duty is to endure sexual violation for the gratification of men. lol.

Please write your story. Draw the artwork. Finish the animation. Continue on whatever project you're working on. It doesn't matter if you're not good at it, or you have doubts, or you're afraid of mistakes. Your creation has a right to exist, and it will be important to others.

have you fucking seen plasma

If anything I think the bigger question is why DON'T we consider it magic? Thanks to electricity not only has humanity managed to send people to the moon, but those people can hold a conversation with those back on Earth. Even as we achieve more and more of what is colloquially viewed as "magic" in fiction we don't refer to it as such. If it's purely a fiction vs reality thing, do scientific achievements retroactively "unmagic" fictional depictions of magic? Or does "magic" have some asymptotic definition that reality can only ever get closer and closer to yet can't actually touch?

real yearners miss shit that never even happened

a lot of writing is sort of watching the film in your head like oh sorry can’t write the chapter yet i have to repeat hallucinate the dialogue first

what doesn’t kill you makes you cry on a bright sunny day

what is your eye color. what is your favorite color. what is the color that appears most frequently in your wardrobe. what color is your favorite blanket. what color is your water bottle.

It's fun being queer and weird and unconventional until you remember you live in a society
