A Nameless Ghoul

remember to bury the dead with a phone, everyone. these days the ferry terminal at the river styx wants you to download a fucking app

if you set off a rube goldberg type death trap to kill someone, if it's a long enough machine, it ceases to become your fault if somebody dies at the end. that's how I've gotten away with it all these years, and why I'm still going to heaven.

i have complicated feelings on the fandom tendency to very loudly assign bisexuality to any sort of fun and flirty character because on one hand it’s really fairly harmless and there are plenty of characters who fit that description who i like to read as bisexual myself but also like, sometimes it does come off as a symptom of society’s tendency to see bisexuality as indicative of a certain level of unseriousness

nonbinary identity gets this treatment too, both in media and in real life. see that one tweet that’s like “i’m probably nonbinary but i’ve got a job rn” for a fairly succinct summary of that lol. there’s this view that fluidity in identity is inherently immature and unprofessional and to be taken seriously as a real adult in society you need to stifle those parts of yourself. and as always fandom is just a reflection of those broader trends

very grim that you can't find a single informational post about the current intestinal parasite outbreak in the US where the comments aren't full of people going "oh my god i hope i get it so i can get skinnyyyyyyyy 😂🤣"

I always think of the description I saw years ago: Self-imposed deadlines don't help me, because I know the person who set them, and they're full of shit.

venus planet of love was destroyed by global warming and me i feel also not so good

thing I am proud of: when the doctor started going on a weird rant about long covid not being real I paused and listened to his nonsense for a bit and then very calmly said, in a polite and curious tone, "you don't believe in post-viral illness?" and he like. stammered a bunch and was like OH WELL I'M NOT SAYING -- I DON'T...I just think ..! and backpedaled awkwardly while I just sat there like :3c interesting :3c thank you so much for clarifying your stance on this :3c

an important skill for chronically ill people to develop is the ability to treat the doctor as though they are simply a person you are interviewing to find out how much they know about your condition.

HMMM interesting!! will have to check this out
