the bisexuality was there. it didnt change anything. it didn't save anyone. there were just too many forces against it. but it still matters that the bisexuality was there

Doggust Day 15: Havanese. Unqualified and too small for this job.

i went to "mad at me" island expecting to find people i knew, something i understood. but when my boat landed, standing upon the shore were a million empty husks wearing my own face. every foot of the island was occupied, and everywhere i went, they watched me with contempt. they never spoke, never breathed. they simply watched. no matter how i grovelled and begged, snarled and cursed, tried to hide or kicked and hit, they simply stared. the hatred in their gaze was inescapable, but i could hardly return it, knowing that their doomed existence was of my own creation. knowing that the hatred was nobody's but my own. in the end i just wept, unable to stand the relentless gaze of my own infinite glare.

the guy who i accidentally cut off in traffic last week was there also

I almost forgot. On my walk today I saw a preview of coming attractions. Fallen leaves, coming soon to a location near you.

I think for a lot of people “I am completely helpless and powerless” and “I am completely powerful and in control” are both basically comforting fantasies because most of us live our lives in an in between place where we have enough agency to be responsible for our actions but not enough agency to have true control over our lives and the tension between power and powerlessness in the day to day is psychologically wearing and exhausting

i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point

Being a young adult is so strange. You enter a coffee shop. The 20 year old girl waiting behind you cried all night because she just came to a new city for university and she feels so alone. That 27 year old guy over there works a job he is overqualified for, he lives with his parents and wants to move out but doesn't know what to do about it. That one 24 year old dude already has a car, a house, and a job waiting for him once he graduates thanks to his dad's connections. The 26 year old barista couldn't complete his higher education because he has to work and take care of his family. The 28 year old girl sitting next to you has no friends to go out with so she is texting her mother. That couple (both 25 years old) are married and the girl is pregnant. The 29 year old writing something on her laptop has realized that she chose the wrong major so she is trying to start all over. We are not alone in this, but we are actually so alone. Do you feel me

decentralize and clean up your life!!!

use overdrive, libby, hoopla, cloudlibrary, and kanopy instead of amazon and audible.

use firefox instead of chrome or opera (both are made with chromium, which blocks functionality for ad-blockers. firefox isn't based on chromium).

use mega or proton drive instead of google drive.

get rid of bloatware

use libreoffice instead of microsoft office suite

use vetted sites on r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH for free movies, books, games, etc.

use trakt or letterboxd instead of imdb.

use storygraph instead of goodreads.

use darkpatterns to find mobile game with no ads or microtransactions

use ground news to read unbiased news and find blind spots in news stories.

use mediahuman or cobalt to download music, or support your favorite artists directly through bandcamp

make youtube bearable by using mtube, newpipe, or the unhook extension on chrome, firefox, or microsoft edge

use search for a cause or ecosia to support the environment instead of google

use thriftbooks to buy new or used books (they also have manga, textbooks, home goods, CDs, DVDs, and blurays)

So I really like "Radar writes the in-universe version of MASH" as a headcanon, but Frank writes a thinly fictionalized memoir of his time in the 4077th to inspire a future generation of Army doctors and it becomes a smash hit in the 60s because people think it's a satire when it's really just his incredibly skewed perspective.

His protagonist Ernest Frost is a tough no-nonsense country doctor who learned frontier medicine on his pappy's knee and has to learn how to work with hot shot draftees from the big city hospitals and their fancy shmancy techniques. He either amalgamates BJ and Trapper into one character ("TJ") or he like just switches the characters half way through (JT becomes TJ) and spends like half a page explaining then never mentions it again and people think this is commentary on how the army turns everyone into replaceable cogs. He writes himself into a tragic love triangle between Ernest's loving but cold wife and the passionate but unpredictable nurse he meets in Korea, but critics always note the homoerotic tension between Ernest and his bratty rival "Pathfinder Polk". Some well meaning high school freshman sends him handwritten gay fanfic about his self insert and his Hawkeye expy and he literally has a stroke. He's portrayed by Alan Alda in a popular TV adaptation of his novel.

I think a lot about Jerrica in quiet rage at the thought of someone pushing drugs onto a girl under her care, violently careening into the right lane to pass
