I just started watching Severance so I don’t know or want to know anything but. The instinctual human revulsion/sense of unease-fear at seeing numbers that don’t look right in the data reminds me a lot of encountering chatgpt in student writing lol. That weird sixth sense “something is very wrong here” that makes you feel Insane.

Emerald Fennel discourse is always funny for me because on one hand, I agree with the consensus (?) that her movies suck. On the other hand. I do like her because before she made movies she played a hot tomboy lesbian nurse on call the midwife.

That whole thing, about 10-7 years ago where it was a whole thing to a) advise people to monitor their friendships and make sure they weren’t asking too much, lest they accidentally harass someone via too many invites or emails, but also b) lecture people about being ablest for expecting anxious introverts to do Anything in relationships was so insanely cruel. You were an Abuser either way!!!

I am MOSTLY fine being the one who does the organizing and asking in my friendships now that I banished the mid-2010s shitty therapist out of my brain that said that you were imposing yourself on people if they weren’t “reciprocating” and you need to take a hint etc. But in the last month or so two people who never ever reach out did the reaching out and organizing and it did hit, got to tell you.

she’s a poor little meow meow. she was born in a wet cardboard box all alone. she’s suffered more than jesus. she’s misunderstood. she’s a silly guy. she experienced the horrors. she did all those crimes. she has done nothing wrong. she deserves to kill. she’s the most interesting girl in the world. i didn’t say a name, but she popped into your head, didn’t she?

A local church and synagogue teamed up to host an event where 45 volunteer orgs/charities/advocacy groups came and presented on their work and what exactly they would need volunteers to do timed to coincide with inauguration stuff.

I think I could provide actual real concrete using-my-skills support to a local public history nonprofit specializing in local Black history and I already talked to them and they said yeah, they absolutely could use someone with my skills and training. And I signed up to help with this local group that does therapeutic/safe space art programming with girls and trans kids in the area- I can’t draw a straight line even, but I can help with admin and can try to get my best friend the artist involved.

I also gave my email to a group that’s helping resettle trans and queer “internal refugees”- families/people that move here because themselves or their kids aren’t safe in other parts of the country. My family has agreed to take in people for temporary emergency housing and I think I would be good at like, social support stuff. Given that my family originally moved here in 2009 in part because I wasn’t safe as a lesbian where we were. And that I’ve lived not-here for the past 8 years before coming back, so I’m not as sheltered as a lot of people who live here are.

As far as I can tell there’s only two books about gymnastics that aren’t like, dubious memoirs. Which is crazy to me. Ive been on the lookout for more, but it looks like it’s just Little Girls in Pretty Boxes and the End of the Perfect 10. And of the two, the latter is the only one that takes gymnastics seriously as a sport.

If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading

I do feel like Saorise Ronan was not well-served by the Selena Gomez pairing tbh. I get why the match worked well on paper but god, Selena is so miserable.
