gin and phonics

terrified of dropping my new phone and fucking up the screen before I can get a new screen protector

I also don't have music on my new phone (can't connect to laptop to get it bc laptop battery is broken) so I'm really hoping my iPod/the frayed headphones I'm using from the last airplane I was on hold out until I can get it on there🤞

Do you want to deal with customers all day or do you want to dive deep into the ocean and perform dangerous repairs. Do you want to deal with school administrators and too many students or do you want to shake hands with the worst men youve ever met and be complicit in the destruction of the environment. Do you want to get naked in front of the internet for anyone to see or do you travel with an airline and be unable to settle down. And most importantly Do you wanna party

going with the flow in a face down in a river kinda way

Great time to start pricing this out by the way, fire season starts… on the summer solstice this year, that’s fun. Signs point to it being a doozy.

You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.

Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?

i think the thing that really stuck with me about this is the way that it frames trans women as cops for having specific words with specific definitions that have arisen out of material analysis rather than what something "feels like." just pure vibes-based reactionary nonsense from the tmras, as per usual. neologisms are a tool of last resort for serious political theorists!

sleeping is so hard when you can't stop thinking.
