Hey, iHeart Network? Yeah, I already fucking hated your guts for other unrelated reasons, and I just gotta say, I wasn't expecting to add that you're hosting a podcast which advertises itself, as, quote verbatim: "What would you do if a secret cabal of the nation's most powerful people asked you to overthrow the government?" and like, yeah, don't worry, I get that it's actually about the 1930s FDR thing, but I really feel like doing this post-January 6th in this political climate, and by "this" I mean saying that there is an ACTUAL, VERBATIM, "SECRET CABAL" MADE UP OF "THE NATION'S MOST POWERFUL PEOPLE" WHOSE PURPOSE IS TO "OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT"

is just maybe the slightest bit questionable. perhaps you might want to consider this as a polite suggestion to maybe not advertise a podcast which sounds like it's about to fucking tell me about the Secrets of the Council of the Elders of Zion is actually based in historical accuracy

[ID: a screenshot of the same post above in which the OP takes note of certain tags: #this is mayhaps 75% true #and i am sincerely begging ppl to stop calling this purity culture bc i promise you it's not 😭. The OP, however, states that "Yeah it is purity culture." /End ID]

sometimes curly just grabs me (or like. as best as it can without hands) and starts telling me about how much people he's going to kill or that he needs to kill people Immediately and I'm just like. ok man. are you good

so i watched "get out" over halloween, and yes, it's brilliant, yes, Jordan Peele is a horror genius, yes, i'm glad it got so many accolades but also...i still like "us" better and i feel like "us" flew under the radar compared to "get out" and "nope," and it feels very much like (white) audiences need to be spoon-fed metaphors about race and its points of intersection or else they don't engage.

liking someone platonically is so embarrassing like. yeah i admire you. yeah i think about you all the time. yeah i look forward to every time i see you even if it's only for a minute. yeah it's all platonic and yeah i couldn't explain this because it'd sound romantic. fucking hell

I think one of the kindest things you can do for people with various mental health struggles is just... let people back into your life after they've been absent for a while.

Making friends as an adult is so fucking hard already and isolating yourself from other people is a very common symptom of depression, anxiety, burnout, ocd, trauma, grief, etc. Which means that someone will do the hard work of recovery/healing and resurface back into a world where their previous friends have written them off because they stopped showing up.

So if you know someone where you're like "yeah we could have been better friends but they fell off the map a bit" and that person suddenly reaches out, or starts showing up to events even though you kind of forgot they were still in the group chat... well they may have been Going Through It and you don't actually have to punish them for their absence you can just be glad that they're back.

do genuinely find it fascinating how indeed.com is like the biggest job-hunting website out there and yet manages to be profoundly useless in every possible way

People are so stupid about snakes. If there's a little black racer chilling outside just leave it alone, you don't have to kill it, it's probably dealing with all your pests for you, jesus christ

Honestly? My main piece of advice for writing well-rounded characters is to make them a little bit lame. No real living person is 100% cool and suave 100% of the time. Everyone's a little awkward sometimes, or gets too excited about something goofy, or has a silly fear, or laughs about stupid things. Being a bit of a loser is an incurable part of the human condition. Utilize that in your writing.
