Really the thing that should bring us all together as humans is that we all, in the end, are incapable of talking about Macho Man Randy Savage without, at some point, doing the voice of Macho Man Randy Savage

Laura Jane Grace is ALL OVER my feed lately and that means nothing but good things

Flirting with someone who said they wanted to do something nice with me and I said "is that a promise?" and they said "hell no that's a threat" and like... I feel understood in this moment

More than once lately I've told someone I'm turning 41 tomorrow and their response is literally "oh fuck you" which it turns out is how New Yorkers say "you look good for your age" and it never stops being funny

Yesterday I tried to bully myself into working out on like 2 hours of sleep and cancelled at the last minute because it felt like holding weights above my face or feet or vital organs was a very bad idea.

Some things you can do. No one can do all these things, but most people can do at least one:

Feed people. There's work for you at Food Not Bombs or whatever you got going on where are.
Join a local cop watch, ICE watch, or rapid response group.
Who's being targeted in your area? Have their back.

Thinking about the time my mom's friend told me that one year in a gay relationship is like 4 years in a straight one, "like dog years"

I both absolutely agree and also don't actually know what this means

I know I can't live-tweet group therapy but some of those motherfuckers are genuinely the funniest people I've ever met and I wish I could share them with y'all

Went to the bodega this morning with my cane (feeling wobbly the last couple days after a long illness) because I really wanted a Swiss Roll and the cashier immediately says "what's up with the cane? Did you kick somebody's ass?"

A nice thing about me is that I basically have the memory of a goldfish so I will literally always fall for a surprise party, I probably don't remember if I've heard that story before or not, and yes, you can just make up whatever happened in college

I'll say a few nice things about Christianity and one of them is that some of the music really slaps. Like, give me a "Nearer My God To Thee" any day of the week y'all

I have two looks -- grinning maniacally or "it's giving Jim Jones"

This is Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-Tart erasure and this will not stand
my strongest pop-tart opinion is that the best kind is strawberry unfrosted untoasted

The thought process I just had can only be described as "so tired that I forgot that I was tired"

Revisiting the New Jack episode of dark side of the ring because frankly I could use some unhinged

A weird side effect of playing in band for years -- like, pit orchestras and community orchestras and shit like that -- is that I have a sixth sense for random-ass songs and it is intense. Like, play "Pomp and Circumstance" in the background of a scene in a movie and i lose my shit

I know all dogs are puppies but for some reason when it's my dogs they're "little dog babies" IDK
