A Kirkland Signature Rotisserie Chicken given sentience by a dark and a vengeful god.

Intentional Pooltoy, accidental Avali.

Given to fits of predictive nostalgia for events I think I'm going to remember fondly.
What if you’re wrong?
Is it all your fault?
Has it been too long?
Is this all for naught?
Are you so far gone
That you can’t get caught?
And what if you’re wrong?
‘Cause you might be

Rye thoughts aren't good thoughts, boys...

Disregard that last post. I hate avalis. They disgust me. But in like a loving way

God I love avalis. They are bastards and I hate them.

I desire to once again write funny rants about nothing merely for the sake of it, but I think I’ve forgotten how to sit in front of a computer and manifest the most interesting fascination of nothing I currently have. Perhaps I need to practice.

Some minor self-psychological speculation for all y'all today: The more I feel the need to individuate myself at work, feeling that my efforts are less noticed and respected, the more I lean into the pooltoy mindset in my brief online periods. The intentional brain-off time at least feels helpful.

I feel that I’ve become a wholly different person lately, and where I’m used to feeling that negatively, it’s more neutral than I expected. While I would say I’m on the whole deeply unsatisfied, pulling myself forward while treading water, I don’t know how much of that is my graduation adaptation.

I wish I had something insightful to say but I can barely work up the energy to write, and when I do my mind is running from stressful thoughts be refusing to remain focused. It’s automatic and frustrating, and I really need to get off my rear and get past this block with a counselor.

I’m gonna be 100, I miss when my Bluesky was all porn. Yes it’s inconvenient to open in public, but it made me feel cheerful and connected. Now it’s back to what Twitter was for me. Bad news and leftists I don’t know shouting about how bad it is. Even if I agree, it’s killed my joy for the platform.

I have a book reading queue of about 15. Several in the 800 page range. My eyes are bigger than… my eyes.

The more I learn the more I realize how unique and impressive a portrayal of detachment and paranoia the Naked Lunch film is. The book was first, yes, but the film makes it graphic to a whole new degree and does it in such a short time span.

I think that, if I try hard and stick to a good schedule, I can give myself a webinar fetish by July.

My mind often wanders, and that I can tolerate. But the rumination, the background noise, the same short snippets of memory looping tell me that despite my best self assurances relaxation is not itself sufficient to get me past what has happened. I will learn eventually.

“I am just a student, sir, and I only want to learn.
But it’s hard to read through the rising smoke from the books you like to burn.”

Love you all. This world can suck sometimes. Safety is the bare minimum but I will settle for it. Stay safe, please.

Goddamnit.

Today’s inconsequential opinion is that the 1993 version of Gypsy is actually quite good and I think Bette Middler’s overreaction makes perfect sense.

And, for what it’s worth, I do not by any means hate Derrida, in fact I find his insight on some things extremely valuable. It’s just that for linguistics and especially linguistic determinism I find Chomsky and Postman to be both better advocates and critics even though both of them are also dorks
March 7, 2025 at 7:01 AM
Against my will and best interests, I have been engaging more with philosophy, and have come upon the inevitable quandary of on occasion having no more specific way to phrase a criticism than “Derrida is a fucking dork”

I wish to be durable, yes, but ergonomic and so easily repairable that no one feels guilt for breaking any part of me. That’s my transhumanist fantasy: to be so trivial to make whole that anyone can be rough without hurting me, and we can laugh off any damage. Take THAT, psychologists.

I love all of you so much. I’m so sad there are still people I want in my life who refuse to move to this venue, it’s better here.
