i first learned of her from my sociology textbook last year. i remember one day my delayed reaction to her story, days after i wrote my notes i burst into tears. i wish for her to still be alive and thriving in all ways she can.

it weighs heavy on my mind that his death was a direct result of climate change. he loved people so much in a way i can only aspire to match. wholesome mundane intimacy undercut by an inescapable darkness. a writer of tragedy with unending love and empathy for his subjects.

pithy music for surface level romanticists. wide as a puddle as deep as a puddle. the music she made when i was 5 was nice, "our song is the slam of screen doors", that sort of stuff. too much to be said about her that's been said already. had the most awkward relationship of my life with a swiftie who was impossible to have hard conversations with. when you say you don't like her someone's disney movie climax motivational speech ability activates for reasons i don't understand

was obsessed with oingo boingo as a kid so i ate this shit up. remains one of my go-to front to back repeat listens. a completely delightful john prine cover featuring amyl of the sniffers caps the album off and then you're ready to spin it all over again. that one that's shaped like a weiner. that's my information receiver. everything gets relayed back to me then. back to the golden retriever. he's a secret. canine agent

Just for Laughs

this whole media entertainment enterprise freaks me out. quebecois comedy is described as a "vast cultural sector" on wikipedia. there is reportedly a "National School of Humour" that leads to a red page link. i have never once in my life encountered JFL nor JFLG content outside of cable network television. it is amazing how we have our own shit eurojank version of laugh factory or comedy mothership where you can watch mimes wearing twirly mustaches fall over. the most bizarre cultural disconnect between the east and west coast

it's great that a bunch of people want to fuck this guy now. among all internationally known canadian alt comic creators [which surely includes more than just this guy and nathan fielder?] this is the one that best represents our nation. some dipshit wearing a sweatband who won't stop talking, big wet lips [like fielder], and he's jacked for no reason. is inexplicably more attractive than his hotter best friend. said some racist slurs but we legalized gay marriage in 2005

while i respect tumblr university for disseminating knowledge among the sheltered teen and young adult populace they as a whole could stand to benefit from making less declarative statements and opening their hearts more to humble intrigue. it's a space to avoid if you wish not to develop the urge to defend against enemies

a bit of a sister review to my kaiba one as i'd used to watch them both for similar reasons. existentialism in a world that seems impossibly vast and tragic and complicated; you are your memories, so what are you if you have none - i'm remembering now that sonny boy was also being watched at this time though it is much more dense than either of these. i delight in the podcast style of it and Ward's art direction goes above and beyond with his trademark simplicity and measured and considerate randomness. not rated any higher as i definitely *watch it* as if it were a podcast. not a knock, just not my preferred viewing experience

have always been partial to bully characters in cartoons games and movies for some reason. other than that it's an infantilizing demeaning word and is better called "harassment" or "verbal abuse" in nearly every situation

can't help but be excited by him. he has one of the best voices in music right now and it's funny how contentious it is. had to take two fingers out my ass to type this, but i can't help but imagine like, (pinches the bridge of my nose), "wow, this bob dylan guy sounds really weird"

one year post linux indoctrination and i've installed and used maybe 8 different operating systems. a large influential step towards cultivating knowledge through curiosity. i don't tend to like doing stuff unless i love it, and it turned out there was a reason i've been watching videos about computers i don't understand for over a decade. try it!

Fat fetishism
Fat fetishism

proponent and fan but i remain undecided on my opinion of it in a feminist sense. been writing and then deleting text here for almost half an hour. current verdict: treat strangers with respect, fat bodies are politicized, you can develop a fetish for nearly anything deemed deviant, what is deviant in a society changes: would acceptance of fat bodies eliminate the concept of fat fetishism? is a fat body only sexy when and if it is fetishized? of course not. the concept of fat fetishism appeals to me as i can't gain and keep weight well and i have a complicated relationship with food as an autistic person. thus the concept of 'excess' is sexy. i've looked down and confirmed that my boner is still there

i live in a drier region where it often doesn't rain hard enough for long enough for this to be smelled. when it does happen, doesn't matter what the weather's like or how cold it is, i'm going for a walk. been trying to find a good perfume of this one that doesn't snap my bank account in half. surprisingly difficult.

remains the best "monsters have powers" media property. other games can be more interesting to play but don't posess the same solid creature design consistency: where while again, in other franchises, the monsters can be more "cool" or visually complex, i prefer a good toon, and it onboarded me into my own brand of "furrydom" and subsequent avenues of expression and self discovery. cursed by God to attract the most repetitive same old critiques but it's not like it doesn't deserve it. it's just odd that typically more can't be said. "it just sucks these days" every day for 15 years

the most tactile and last remaining interesting part of the computer. i love my MT3 keycaps and silent tactile switches. i take it with me to the library. though fans of these things can often be like when audiophiles buy gold plated AUX dongles for 400 dollars. a fun but costly hobby
