still on the line
as a neurotic pedant the recent over- and mis-use of “performative” has been a #1 oppression, where i am being oppressed

i need the next ill-advised and sprawling pynchon adaptation to be mason & dixon. the world needs this

a great personal failing of mine is that i like christmas & the associated decorations and music and flavors.

having some phantom limb-like symptoms since leaving atlanta for chicago & selling my car. woke up and thought, oh i need to get an oil change. no i don’t. thought oh, i’m going to drive to publix after work. no i’m not!

i am a major luddite about cooking gizmos and gadgets & will deeply inconvenience myself to avoid buying a new kitchen thing. but my new toaster oven has an air fry feature and it’s nice. i still refuse to google things like “air fryer recipes” but it’s nice.

trader joe’s: your rice crackers promise plentiful spicy peas, and yet in a whole bag i count merely 5 - 10 peas that are hardly “spicy” anyway! you are on notice!

the number one issue on voters' minds in atlanta seems to be "parking downtown"

i can get some’s being chafed by straight people referring to their “partner” but i do appreciate it in workplaces & elsewhere if only as a sort of wink-wink nudge-nudge “i’m not going to antagonize you, at least in the big ways” signal

my cat had to go in the car today and he did not scream even one time. #GoodCat #HeLikesIt

people who mainly believe in mass death seem very upset by the functional stuff of death; maybe nothing but strange to hear their shocked accounts of “so much blood”

my partner got a great new job today. anyone have a problem with this being a day of celebration & joy?

i don’t personally think that being a dick should entail life-ending consequences (see: every viral karen video) & i don’t think anyone really wants or should want that enforcement mechanism. i’ve been wrong and a dick before—i am glad i did not become a headline for awhile

as glad as i am that he is okay i am a little annoyed that the reason for my cat’s year of mysterious gastroenteritis flare-ups is “he gets nervous”

i did not buy this dresser because i thought it would be easy to find comparable products for cheaper & i was dead wrong. this is a beautiful dresser and it is a good price. i may experience a psychotic break about this

toured an apartment the other day where the realtor did some really formally interesting things, photograph-wise, to hide that a massive fucking natural gas wall heater takes up 2/3 of the living room

love dogs, however (or “accordingly”) i do not think you should cart your insanely overstimulated dog around the grocery store with you, he wants to be doing literally anything else

have the type of brain disease, i've found, where in light of moving soon i've gotten really excited about using freight packing optimization tools. creating huge packing lists with dimensions & weight, load balancing calculations ... incredible

lots of false alarms on the loin girding today, had to keep girding then un-girding, might just keep my loins girded for awhile in case anything happens

i think my ideal job whenever we get socialism or get a temperamental boy-king is to be a janitor, if it paid my bills i would gladly be a janitor

i know this is treated as the discursive residue of 2016 but i do think a lot of people who otherwise self-identify as socialist &c are misogynists, and this is something we should care about rectifying

main takeaway from mason & dixon so far is that astrology is real
