How do I work this thing?

-Sincerely, an awkward hermit writer, who all but skipped the entire existence of Twitter/X despite everyone's professional advice, but now not feeling too bad about that decision for obvious reasons.

I hope all are A-OK on this bumpy ass ride of bizarre life on 🌍
I feel like The Rock is the Super Saiyan version of Barack Obama. I've never seen them in the same room. Have you?

Remember that fun nursery rhyme song we used to teach small children about killing little baby bumblebees?

So... that aged terribly.

Waiting for that "the truth will set you free" prophecy to come to fruition.

Do I really have ADHD, or is the world we've built around us one big ADHD factory of distractions?

Told my therapist about this conspiracy to distract all of us constantly by design to prevent as many as people from achieving greatness and freedom and caught a BPD diagnosis. He didn't like my tone.

Finally watched the Sopranos during the writer's strike and it really ruined my aspirations to get therapy.

The world is still burning and chaos is ensuing through the fascist trends of the western world, but I'm just over here in Madagascar, creating 3rd quarter report cards for all the students in my 25 student school 😂

I still love life, but love it more when I'm not living out of car in Florida lol

Can't tell me this guy's not an alien when even AI-guided algorithms in my phone's news feed are alluding to the obvious. ET was so much cooler though, and what a chill guy. He'd want to eject Elon to Mars more than anyone.

Just got a serious abdominal workout in just by being constipated on the toilet after too much pizza.

I just start filming niche workout videos for my OnlyFans.

Wow, news to me.
In the 1940s, Hitler and Nazi Germany tried to forcibly move everyone Jewish to Madagascar.

The witches here in Madagascar are on another level. They run around naked at night and sometimes in the day. If they see you before you see them, somehow they put a spell on you so you can't move, then proceed to poop in your mouth to turn you into their horse and ride you to where they need to go.

We don't spend a penny on marketing. It's all word of mouth for @costplusdrugs.com

That's how we keep prices so low. Please spread the word !

Over six months in a developing country with a crumbling post-colonial infrastructure is just preparing me for the US in ten years if I ever overcome my paranoia to try and get through customs interrogating me for hours and scanning my militantly anti-billionaire digital footprint.

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

delighted to inform everyone that despite all the super liberated sex/drugs/rock&roll ideology flying around in the *edgier* parts of the 1960s popular music scene, when all was said and done the only one of those guys who had the balls to actually come out as bisexual was Arthur goddamned Garfunkel

I miss John Lewis.

I even miss John McCain.

Fighters on opposing sides.

I have body dysmorphia but just regarding my giant alien head that doesn't seem to fit on my body. But somehow it does because I exist. This must be the tao.

When Zelenskyy told Trump "the US is going to feel it in the future too," I felt that.

With a small but solid cast and crew (most crew members also actors) and three of my high schoolers helping in a paid internship, we shot 95% of my feature film Insulation in four efficient consecutive days, entirely in my apartment building in Antananarivo.

I already know that this is my best work
