So, I blocked some family members after my dad died and haven't heard from them in years. But today I got a text from a group chat they added me to? And because I had blocked so many of them only one message came through from a number I didn't know that simply read, "Beans".

I heard that getting tattoos gets more painful when you age. But I've found it hurts less, but I get very, very sleepy.

I've found that more and more often posts in r/ shittytattoos are just "I don't understand this, so it's shitty". And that's... real disappointing. Nothing like a bullshit subreddit I joined for thoughtless entertainment to drive home how incurious and uncritical everyone is now.

I know I've lost all self respect when I'm looking at the shit tattoo subreddit and my first response to seeing someone is "sure the tattoo is bad, but I bet they fuck".

I saw someone the other day say we could use T9 with tv remotes instead of full digital keyboards and remote arrows and I can't stop thinking about how much more convenient that would be for me personally, which is the most important thing of course.

If I ever have to write an artist's statement again I'm starting it with "Ok, so what happened was..."

If your "hear me out" list doesn't include at least 1 cryptid AND 1 disney villain I will in fact not be hearing you out.

One of the biggest bonuses to being married is being able to say "I have to ask my partner, sorry" to literally anything and that's the end of the conversation. Do you want to change insurance? Yikes, have to ask my partner. Would you like to lease a car? Oh my, going to have to consult my partner.

I'm confused about something when it comes to the rapture (that's happening according to some people I guess 🤷♀️)... why are you selling your belongings instead of giving them away? Way to make it the finish line of the apocalypse and beef it.

Sometimes I write out entire responses to bad takes and then just delete them and walk away. I'm thinking maybe it's time to start hitting post instead.

I've always wanted a dakimakura, but I could never pick a character that I'd want on it for an extended period of time. Yes, I'm married and have like 12 tattoos. Not sure why I can't commit to a pillow friend.

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to tell people I physically want to be around them without using cringe therapy language like touch starved or sounding like a serial killer.

Finally signed up for Kanopy. I tried a while ago and it said my library wasn't registered with them or whatever, but now it works sooooo.... time to watch Possession I guess.

Maybe I should go see Superman. I feel like having seen 5 horror movies in 2 months can't be good for my brain chemistry. It's great for my libido though. Having a fear kink really makes it a different experience.

I'm doing a cross stitch of a man's cats and I'm hoping it impresses him enough that I get great sex. And that's it. That's what being middle aged is like.

Dude. Dude. Dude. I went to a tattoo consult today from an artist who had done other work on me AND they want to take profesh photos for the shop website. Am I cool now?

Of all the songs I thought would survive from my young adulthood into 2025 it was definitely not Caramelldansen. (I was pulling for you Dragostei Din Tei).

I saw Eddington. And it keeps reminding me of American Dreamz and Southland Tales in ways I can't articulate.

Update on the orb and tattoos. I have an appointment for a tattoo consultation. Have yet to find the perfect orb.

I want to date someone so out of my league that it pisses people off.

Also tattoos, it's always orb and tattoos. A small voice from a far off planet whispering "orb and tattoos" through the ages until it becomes a buzzing in my head that can only be satisfied by being on vintage sales websites at 2 a.m.
For some reason when I'm on my period I become obsessed with trying to find the perfect Vivienne Westwood orb necklace to buy for myself (I never find it) (this is an ongoing problem).

If I live to see a presidential election that's MatPat vs. Mr. Beast I'm going to walk directly into the ocean and antagonize an orca. I'm not a hopeless accelerationist (yet), but that would definitely do me in.
