A heap of broken images.
Still looking for life's blueprint.
I like birds, cats, writing, reading, gaming, and COFFEE ☕
Please do not add me to any more political starter packs. I'm not here for that.

Some of the best interactions I've had with people on this platform, come from being nice to them.
I feel like the way you build a better world is by being kind.
Sure yeah, rage bait is fun and outrage is exhilarating but... It starts with you. Me. All of us. We can and should try. Peace. ✌️❤️

I'm so glad I only have to really buy gifts for my guy, my brother, and my brother's cats this year.

Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.
Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.

Always worth taking a moment to remind you if you’re pirating authors’ book you’re a shitty person. You can rail that our profession isn’t a profession all you want. You can paint yourself as an online revolutionary liberating ideas. It’s all bullshit.
You’re just a shitty person who hates writers.

Asked if he has a favorite music track from FFVII, Naoki Hamaguchi says he really likes Sephiroth's theme. Hearing it start up always takes him back to that moment he was a child in the game when he turns up and it really sends shivers down his spine. (Mr. Islah, 11/21)

Some among us value one thing above art, unique experiences, and obscure props from TV shows. And that thing? Is merch. Go to JohnOliversJunk.com to bid on jackets, bags, mugs, and even knives emblazoned with the Last Week Tonight logo, so every part of your body can say “Yes, I watch that show.”

UNPOPULAR OPINION: Spending hours gaming is better for your mental health than hours of doom scrolling through social media. Games give you critical thinking, strategy, stories, goals and actual dopamine, as opposed to anxiety.

So here’s an experience of Existing While Female in 2025.
I need my roof and gutters cleaned. I called a bunch of places and most didn’t get back to me or were actually gutter cover companies that don’t actually clean your gutters unless you buy.
Found a guy. He came for an estimate. And then:

I'm so proud of my people today.
ICE tried to pull a quick early morning in-&-out raid in a quiet industrial part of Saint Paul.
Instead they were met by hundreds of protesters, including the mayor and the local council member, whistles shrieking, braving the tear gas, forcing ICE to leave early.

Find an old phone book. Cut it into tiny pieces. Eat it over a period of months until you have completely digested the entire phone book. You now have all the powers and wisdom of a telephone book.

Having spent years now in open office arrangements designed to ‘foster collaboration’, I am horrified to discover that I would be REALLY happy to just have a cubicle again.
