#But it popped up in my memories today

Jimmy would plaster “happy disability pride month cripples” absolutely everywhere he can anytime July first rolls around. And the main reason for this is just to start internet discourse over the use of the word

Books of 2023. THE MEMORY POLICE by Yoko Ogawa.

Miley Cyrus is thirty, and I used to think that sounded old but now it just sounds thirty. Hannah Montana was my first pop icon—or obsession. I remember my shoes, my shirts with her teenage face printed on with that flimsy wig—I wanted one just like it, or of my own. Just wanted to be someone different and older. And I'm twenty-four now and I still haven't dyed my hair blonde. Still a redhead, I'm afraid, but that made my dead grandmother very proud. I remember that 3D concert movie in third grade premiering in theaters. You know I wore my favorite shoes to it. I had to. How could I go out to the live Hannah Montana experience without those dirty white sneakers with a cheap gold paint? My prized possessions. And she sang the first song she ever wrote, "I Miss You," for her grandfather, and I just thought: Wow, what a big girl, who can do so much, make her own music, sing it in front of millions, and who has experienced so much. Now it seems like not all that much to me. When Meet Miley Cyrus came out as a double-album with Hannah Montana 2, you know I was blasting it in my bedroom, singing and dancing to those songs like I wrote 'em. Like they were mine. I suppose they still are, and so were Bangerz and Dead Petz for me in high school, and Younger Now when I was eighteen, a legal adult but a little baby, but supposedly not "stuck in East Northumberland High for the rest of my life"— I guess people do change. But did I really? And did Miley really? Surely she did, she has, over and over again. Changed genres, sounds, and looks. Supposedly so have I. I wear bras now, at least when I go out in public, but Miley also taught me what nipple pasties are. You see? She's an icon, a legend and an educator, a role model but never wanted to be one, was never old enough to be one when she was forced to be. Miley Cyrus is thirty, and I'm twenty-four. Now she says we used to be young. Can't deny that that's true. The years go by, though, and we're still in our same skins, with new cells, with changed voices, but still singing.

Who would've thought that being exposed to one of your triggers (that you only recently found out is a trigger) on a daily basis would be bad for your mental health. Save me f/os </3

apparently now we get to have flashbacks to the weird period between mid 2015 and late 2016 where our mental health took some absolutely wild hits, plus the odd flashback to mid 2017, so I guess it's time to deal with this stuff again

This might not mean anything to anyone here but the explanation for why they were charging $100 for m+g is so not an excuse it makes me mad.

So there was supposed to be a special option to get the book for $100 that's personally signed and a Polaroid and you get one on one time (still through a cage). Okay, so they ran out but people still wanted the package. What package? There are no books?

so they could have either dropped the extras and just let people go talk to them and take pics or they could have dropped the price to get things signed and have one on one time since there was no book. But they knew they could charge it so they did.

What's offered was never worth $100 to start with. If he felt bad that people couldn't get the package then keeping it $100 by replacing the good would not have been the first option. it was about making that money after they realized it was possible to keep charing people.

I'm not even going to get into the "human zoo" idea of it all as a bunch of white guys are running things, I think the whole thing was skeezy enough without having to get into ALL that. ew. Argue with the wall, the whole thing sucked
