Just found out that I correctly identified the precise moment my neighborhood vet was sold to a VC firm /corporation (same shit) - it hurts to be this good 😭

I am enjoying the new season of Archer but its cadence is so different from past seasons that it almost feels like a different show. It’s much less snarky and stylized and abrasive, which I think works well for the final season.

I am playing stardew valley for the first time and as a non gamer so far all I’ve managed to do is move around all the furniture in the room while my character stays in bed swinging a pick axe.

in the last few weeks before I deleted my X account, I blocked every single advertiser that showed up on my timeline. I just wanted them to know what they were paying for. 💖💃🏼

Spock and Dr McCoy in TOS are one of my fave comedic duos. They’re so authentically tense and weird together - definitely similar to an old married couple, but I’ve seen plenty of platonic dynamics that are similar.

Every time apple pushes an update lately I catch myself trying to figure out how I can put it back to how it was before. It’s like they’re changing things to explicitly make the UI more confusing! 🤬

I didn’t expect so much of my healing to just be me becoming conscious of things + people I dislike and figuring out how to stay away from them.

Listening to Britney Spears’ memoir underlined for me how often women are betrayed— jt sold her out for album sales like it was nothing.

parenting myself from scratch is wild bc now I can’t stop saying things to myself like “people will come and go in life but the good thing is the constant will always be you - you will always have yourself!”

Unlike _some_ pop stars, Beyoncé understands that I don’t want to hear about the details of her personal life but would very much like to see each outfit she wears until the end of time. 💖💃🏼

Even in the worst Star Trek series there is still one outstanding character actor giving the performance of their career, and I think that’s awesome.

I must not be a very brave person because I would never subject myself to the humiliation of asking an MD about herbal medicine. ☠️

people will really get mad because I’m different from the version of me they made up in their heads. reason #6385 that I am so fucking thankful I learned the difference between something that is my problem, and something that is not! 💃🏼

I have to be more mindful of not consuming media I hate! I realized I start hate listening to things and some end up being integrated into my routine. No more space for things I hate!!

Some men think they can map their own experiences onto women’s, add in some sexism, and basically have an idea of what it’s like to live as a woman. They are not correct.

I want to rewatch Enterprise but I don’t want the effing song stuck in my head for weeks :/
And I feel like even if I skip it, Scott Bakula’s energy will somehow get the song stuck in my head anyway.

Using a scientific framework to analyze and address social issues will never work. It just leads to weird questions like this. Another reason prioritizing STEM over everything else is an awful idea.
I don’t know but it probably doesn’t help when academics study “female children and adolescents” as if they were animals and do not listen to them about the social conditions they would need to not be in constant danger.

I sometimes think state actors move to restrict access to psychedelics because they’re afraid of their healing potential but I actually don’t think anyone associated with the state has any nuanced understanding of drugs beyond “drugs dangerous and evil!!”
