a few days ago I went to a bar and there was a full table of eight. every single person sitting at the table was a young white male with brown hair cut into that gen z haircut. you know the haircut I’m talking about. with the curls and shit. anyway it was remarkable and a little terrifying

it’s really funny when a person who has never had a cat and thinks cats are assholes actually spends time with a cat and the cat is super friendly and cuddly and the person is like “wow this cat is like a dog!” like actually no that’s just what cats are like, you’ve been lied to

whenever I say something stupid I always follow it up with, “sorry, I’m super tired.” the problem is that I say stupid things like all the time. so am I perpetually tired or am I just stupid? honestly, it’s probably both
