I think we should all be writing more. And all just reading the writings of one to ten people a day instead of the disjointed thoughts of 10-1000 stressed ppl determined by an algorithm. Very sillily but whole-heartedly believe a shift like that in communication could save us. Anyway. Here's Kira

It's hard to tell how you're doing in life right now. But my early Gen Z roommate keeps calling things I say and do "iconic". So I think I'm doing okay

I cross-bred an octopus and a panda, let me know if you’re interested in a pretty amazing hug.

If you offer to hide your trans friends in your closet you both are and aren't an ally. A real Schrödinger's expat, if you will.

If I respect you and you post a take I think sucks, apparently I'll send you an essay trying to thoroughly explain my perspective & why I understand your perspective. Which in retrospect is WAY crazier and also more annoying than just commenting, "this sucks"

ben shapiro sounds like something a wizard says when he wants somewhere to sit down at the park

It's currently 3 am at my parents house

Just a reminder that Amazon workers are striking tomorrow through Monday, and that none of the “deals” are good enough to justify crossing the picket line.

Love this place. Love a fresh start. I checked out a friend's following list bc I thought he'd probably follow a lot of folks I'd want to follow.

And it was cats all the way down.
