at some point you have to realize that you actually have to read to understand the nuance of anything. we as a society are obsessed with summarization, likely as a result of the speed demanded by capital. from headlines to social media (twitter being especially egregious with the character limit), people take in fragments of knowledge and run with them, twisting their meaning into a kaleidoscope that dilutes the message into nothing. yes, brevity is good, but sometimes the message, even when communicated with utmost brevity, requires a 300 page book. sorry.

I love characters who are extremely hypercompetent and simultaneously massive losers

Eartha Kitt's career is just so iconic because there's no way you don't know her even if you don't know you know her. You like Christmas music ok well she's Santa Baby. You like Disney animated movie ok well she's Yzma. You like Disney Channel original movie ok well she's Madame Zeroni. You like comic book ok well she is Cat Woman. She won.

You like making the racist wife of a war mongering president cry on national television? She did that

You like laughing at the very idea of needing a man? She's your role model.

not using AI genuinely feels like the rest of the world is experiencing some kind of mass amnesia. if someone says they never use it, the immediate response is that can't be true because "everyone" uses it to write their emails or answer their questions. saw a comment suggesting that not using chatgpt to write an essay is "like the 90s". girl I graduated in 2021 and we weren't doing that! how is it that everyone has suddenly forgotten that they were entirely capable of doing these things all by themselves for their entire lives up until the past few years!! am I going crazy!!!

Good luck to the people of Hungary today. Hope you are able to expel Orbán.

still living with my parents as an adult is just like. i'm grateful to not have to pay for groceries. i have to get out of here. i'm grateful to have a roof over my head and not have to pay rent. i have to get out of here. i'm grateful to not have to worry about sending out endless job applications that all lead to nowhere. i have to get out of here. i'm grateful i'm grateful i'm so fucking grateful. i have to get out of here

okay but are you a stop-to-research-accurate-details-then-revise-and-restart-the-daydream-slash-fanfic-slash-fantasy person? or are you weird?

i rly like how many electronic devices you can turn off by holding the power button down. its very intuitive to kill a thing by choking it

Not sure if its just the younger sibling instinct in me but I fucking love watching people play video games please just let me sit beside you as you play a game

Not sure if its just the older sibling in me but I also fucking love having someone sit beside me while I play games
