soliloquizingly

Please remember that almost everyone around you is traumatized. I didn’t understand this when I was younger. I wondered why people acted so strangely and irrationally. Maybe all children wonder this. The author Robert Anton Wilson said (paraphrasing), “We have never seen a completely sane adult human.” No one makes it out of this life alive. It’s not their fault. Mercy, kindness, forgiving — these are what makes one human. They are other names for love. People break in the strangest of ways.

“Under the present brutal and primitive conditions on this planet, every person you meet should be regarded as one of the walking wounded. we have never seen a man or woman not slightly deranged by either anxiety or grief. we have never seen a totally sane human being." — Robert Anton Wilson

i do not want to live in the fucking panopticon fuck the camera that blinks above me at work, the tv watching me at the store, the "smile you're on camera" signs, the ring cameras, the flock cameras, the apps to track your child or partner, the activist friends telling me "just assume everything you do in public is being recorded somewhere", the government building protester databases, the teslas recording every move all around them, the knowledge that everything i type or search or save is being tracked and logged, the ads and search suggestions that mysteriously know what i was just talking about, the way biometrics keep creeping into more places, the way my car spies on me, the way my phone spies on me, the way there is nowhere to go to get away from it!!! no wonder the internet is full of vindictive little stalkers and witchhunts when it's the water and the air of society from the culture to the infrastructure

Having a job is an awesome way to stay hydrated because you get so bored you start drinking water just for a little excitement

I had to check this wasn’t The Onion

500 years from now there’s gonna be some film historian who’s entire career is built off of searching for a copy of goncharov

and they're never gonna find it cuz they fucking took it off poob

maybe instead of making scientist barbies to get women into stem they could market science kits to girls…… just a thunk

Something about women expecting to be looked at (barbie as a woman who looks like she does science) while boys are expected to participate in the world (actually do science, no illusions or focus on the marketing the image of self)

Currently, I am eating the peppers I grew. This is so cool.

When politicians say "we gotta appeal to the working class" you have to keep in mind that in their imaginations, the working-class person is basically a form of ogre-like creature whose existence consists of backbreaking manual labor and seething with Every Single Bigotry.

When he clocks out at The Factory, where he manually builds entire fridges from scratch using only raw materials, he has three interests: Car, The Pub and Sports. He desperately wants to vote for a center-left party but just can't bring himself to do it when they actually do something left-wing.

i am as white as a white american can get and the thought of using the white color emojis sickens me to the bone. bitch if you dont make me simpsons yellow

it has always been a dream of mine to relax

At the end of the day, you can’t delay joy until life looks a certain way. You deserve to enjoy your life now.
