#it’s so lame but necessary

I think the Amanda Arasha combination is especially effective because they do have differing opinions on a number of things, but Arasha is also largely unafraid to actually disagree/pushback on things (in a very good natured, thoughtful, usually well articulated way) without taking it personally. Which, I think is especially fun/good with Amanda, who tends to have strong opinions and expresses them very. powerfully. And I love her for it, but the discussion definitely gets even better when someone like Arasha is willing to push back or call out the comedy of certain personal opinions/subjective viewpoints, and still have a good time overall.

just so you all know i am just straight up never going to be cool or perfect ever. im always going to be lame and a bit weird at times and im going to fuck up SO many times actually. i am also going to be a pussy and not stand up for shit, so please don’t get mad at me online ever cuz i cant assure you that if that happens i won’t delete every trace of my existence and never go online again out of fear

ok thank u!!i see people expecting wayyy too much of other people online and like…im not the person you wanna expect anything of. you all build an opinion of me that’s like 10000x better than the actual me and that’s great I’m not complaining but my line of good takes is going to end one day or another because i cannot believe ive gotten this far, and when i make a bad one i need you to not get mad at me thanks

Deacon loves two things: Ymber and digging himself a grave.

Fulj hates one thing: Deacon.

I hate when there's a ship I'm not into but I don't actually dislike it and then over time seeing it more makes me start to hate it. I wish I could just. Enjoy other people's joy instead of like grimacing whenever I see art of it. It's obviously not a Real Issue and I'm overthinking it but eh

The Star Market

Marie Howe

The people Jesus loved were shopping at the Star Market yesterday. An old lead-colored man standing next to me at the checkout breathed so heavily I had to step back a few steps.

Even after his bags were packed he still stood, breathing hard and hawking into his hand. The feeble, the lame, I could hardly look at them: shuffling through the aisles, they smelled of decay, as if the Star Market

had declared a day off for the able-bodied, and I had wandered in with the rest of them—sour milk, bad meat— looking for cereal and spring water.

Jesus must have been a saint, I said to myself, looking for my lost car in the parking lot later, stumbling among the people who would have been lowered into rooms by ropes, who would have crept

out of caves or crawled from the corners of public baths on their hands and knees begging for mercy.

If I touch only the hem of his garment, one woman thought, could I bear the look on his face when he wheels around?

Men keep getting mad at me on dating sites since they don't "know" how to plan a date (they know, they just want to not try.... feminine energy and a sign that I would be taking the reigns the whole relationship from a non-intelligent, lazy man)

like this man really said "I don't know how to find good date spots in our area" several times.....

Damn, it's almost as if he could type that into ChatGPT or Google and get the results he wants. D'oy!

It's just embarrassing for them at that point; some of them can even be GIVEN websites and choose not to try. My ex, L, was like that.

And as you can imagine, they are choosing to do so. They don't even see me as worth lifting their pretty little unmanicured dainty coder hands to type for 5 seconds, what makes me want them?

And then they pitch a bitch in the spam folder of my Google Voice number when I say "Actually I require more effort from a man for the first date, it's how I am shown interest, and I don't think we are compatible in this aspect. A shame, I really liked you. Have a great day!"

ok this will sound lame as fuck but even though i had fun At The Goth Club i cant shake the feeling that if i had to get substantially drunk to have fun at all then maybe it wasnt worth it

slowly starting to understand the reason most people like me on a casual friend basis but never in a friend friend way is because i am kind of a huge buzzkill lol. like i hold myself to this impossible standard of altruism and guilt trip the fuck out of myself when i can't reach it and though i most definitely don't hold other people to the same standards they probably still feel kind of judged and shitty for like. enjoying themselves in indulgent ways around me. it's not like i do judge them or think they're shitty people for it but that's probably hard to believe when i would feel guilty and think that of myself if i joined in?? sort of like how people tell me they don't judge me for being fat and then shit talk their own bodies for being fat 24/7. self mutilation has collateral damage. and while i don't really think of what i do as punishing or hating myself and more like being hyperaware of the world around me in everything i do, it's the same concept. and there's nothing that can be done about that, we're just too different. and maybe that's not the worst thing. i don't need to be besties with everyone
