in light of recent events i have decided to become evil
Alex Pretti was a nurse in
Minneapolis, like I was in 2020. He worked at the VA as a federal employee, like I did in 2020. He was doing today what all of us who were able did in 2020 - helping neighbors in a terrifying but important time in history while the world was watching. (1/?)

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.

Praying for his full & speedy recovery.

And so deeply inspired by his example.

Can I go to bed. It’s been night time since at least noon and my tummy hurts. But I’m doing CBT for insomnia and my therapist said if I go to bed before 11 she’d frame me for murder

I’m back on TikTok basically just to make videos about my various Wikipedia rabbit holes because my loved ones are sick of me and if I can’t talk about them I’ll die. Here’s one about Rube Waddell.

I was just watching a video on Facebook of a news report about a factory that exploded near here (geriatric sentence I know) and in the middle of the video, it cut to an ad that was literal actual hardcore porn. What the actual fucking ass motherfucking fuck is going on in this internet. fuck

Oh you just figured out Johnny Cash was cool? The guy who famously performed for a prison and dressed in all black? Well CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WALL STREET JOURNAL oh wait I guess that does make sense
