me frantically learning spanish to understand every word of bad bunny’s new album and frantically learning to read chinese to thrive on rednote is pretty indicative of where things are at rn

my world will end when they take tiktok from me. my only source of joy a day will disappear. i will grow uninspired and taciturn. all my friends will remark that i am just a shell of who i once was

LA fires are a good reminder that the only difference between me and any refugee is luck.

I thought you should know that in 2024 New Jersey, Minnesota, Illinois, California, and Maryland have all enacted legislation that bans book bans & censorship in both, school and public libraries, and protects librarians.

flying anywhere but the US is crazy because what do you mean flights aren’t constantly delayed, security doesn’t treat you like shit, and making sure your carry on gets onboard isn’t an episode of the hunger games??

honestly the most underrated parts of long flights is how i get to read for hours uninterrupted by the responsibilities of everyday life

it’s truly the most wonderful time of year in LA. streets are empty. traffic is scarce. transplants have evacuated and restaurant reservations are shockingly easy to get. the leaves are golden and falling everywhere. i love this city so much during the holidays

made a pie crust from scratch today and legit thought it was the best crust i ever made only to learn i accidentally put double the amount of butter and it melted in the oven when i went to take it out. truly devastating

hot take: i think ppl are fully aware of how cars ruin everything but would never sacrifice their own convenience for the greater good 🙂↕️
Before & After: I don’t think people realize the extent to which parked cars degrade public space.

this is a huge reason i left journalism. realized public opinion was largely manufactured by design
I wonder how much propaganda is in our media that’s meant to tell us how to feel about situations - wouldn’t it be easier to convince someone of something, if you find a way to make them believe they are the originator of their own belief?

Very similar to laugh tracks telling you when to laugh.

Omg yes! Instagram use to be an app where you didn’t need to impress others.
i know there’s a lot of twitter/X hate on here but does anyone ever think about how instagram has completely stifled an entire generation from being themselves because they’re so obsessed w flattening themselves for public validation or is that just me
