No, Google Docs, there is a distinct difference between "cussing" and "cursing."

Any tips for not falling into permanent despair?
I suppose remembering that there is no greater act of defiance that living a full life

I would say vote if you can tomorrow and then no matter who wins, get involved in your local community.

In time travel movies, when the time traveler asks 'What year is this?!?' they're always treated like they're being weird for asking.
When in reality, if you go 'What year is this?!?' people will just say '2024. Crazy huh.' and you go 'Wtf where has my youth gone.'
And if you ask 'And what month??' people won't judge you, they'll just go like 'SEPTEMBER!!! Can you believe it?!?!' and you go 'WHAT?!? Last time I checked we were in May?!?'

Culture is so obsessed with the idea of lone geniuses that it doesn't really appreciate that most of the progress of science (and likely every other discipline) occurs collaboratively, in babysteps, and usually through a lot very tedious, utterly unsexy, work.

So y'all should go read Dreadnought Nemesis by April Daniels. It’s about a transgender lesbian superhero and it’s kind of fucking fantastic. One of my favorite lines:
“I see a world that is terrified of me. Terrified of someone who would reject manhood. Terrified of a girl who knows who she is and what she’s capable of. They are small, and they are weak, and they will not hurt me ever again.”

if a teenager is at your door and they are wearing a costume!! please give them candy!! they are still in it for the halloween spirit and it honestly no different from a little kid in a costume. they are just as excited and happy as all the other lil tykes and dont you dare tell them they are “too old for trick-or-treating” because that will literally break their hearts and that’s not cool.

a quick “why is my life so bad” checklist
how’s your sleep schedule
have you eaten or drank anything besides sugar and caffeine
how long have you been sitting in one spot
have you gone out in public recently
have you taken a shower/brushed your teeth/groomed yourself properly
have you spent time doing an activity that doesn’t involve a screen
etc

fellow scoundrels
ladies, gentlemen, and interesting miscellanea
beloved friends & tolerated acquaintances
entities of interest
paying audience members & assorted freeloaders
the fbi's most and least wanted
discerning guests & those of you with fuck all else to do on a tuesday evening
esteemed gutter filth
