I'm Claire And This Is My Mess Of A Blog

sometimes you just have to say "you are all so fucking stupid" and scroll past

Somehow being a person does not come naturally to me

Guy who says “you know, the unabomber kind of had a point” but he just means that “eat your cake and have it too” is a more sensical idiom

if you complete one task off your to do list you should be allowed 3 days of chilling afterwards as a reward

I hate that “chat” now makes people think of chatgpt. no. I’m asking my imaginary greek chorus twitch audience.

"I'm lying to you but this sentence is technically the truth without context" is such a good trope. Like yes the way that I am spinning these words forms a lie but if you squint I'm actually not lying.

“what’s up with you and vampires, man?” we don’t have the time to discuss this

"He wouldn't say that" has a beautiful cousin, and her name is "That's Not What This Story is About".

i feel like it's absolutely crucial in the social justice world to take "he a little confused but he got the spirit" and similar sentiments/situations as a Win. intent is so much more important than saying it right the first time! if someone is approaching with scuffed language and incorrect terms but they're visibly being as polite as they know how, that person is a friend and should be treated better than what their words might invite in someone else's mouth.

someone who's confused but who's got the spirit has the best thing, which is respect. the other stuff is secondary. I'd take someone who's messing up but doing their best to treat me respectfully any day over someone who's using the right words to do me wrong.

I'm sorry but I do think it's extremely bad for the culture at large to brag about your ao3 stats in tradpub author bios. We don't need to give people even more reasons to be weird about ao3 stats.

It's also tacky.

when someone calls me their friend my heart skips a beat it’s like i won at being myself

those posts complaining about greasy hair arent exaggerating btw, it really makes you feel like everything in your life is going wrong and falling apart. and then you shower and it turns into a normal tuesday
