In my household we talk about "pathways in the brain" being like deer trails in the woods -- the more the deer walk along one route, the more their hooves wear down the grass until it's just a strip of bare dirt.
But if the deer start traveling a different way, the grass grows back.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
As Elon Musk cements his place in history as a fascist tech overlord and the rest of the world looks at us in horror, I really do want to reiterate what I feel will be lost to the history books
Nearly everyone in america has thought and continues to think that Elon is very cringe.
Despite not being a USA citizen, everyon has... no, MUST remember that the billionare Elon Musk has such a tiny, pathetic and childish ego, that he had the need to lie about being a hardcore epic gamer in Path of Exile 2, only to be caught red-handed as the hilarious sham that he is, and ban everyone who exposed him.
the doge meme is from 2013. its easy for dates in history books to get kinda blurry and to just print something like "the department of government efficiency was named after a popular meme at the time", but i think its important to record that musk named the agency that is illegally seizing our government after a joke so outdated that the dog in the picture has since died of old age
"And he gave it to me for free, Bob!"
I saw this on bsky last night and had to draw the guy
One thing that has made me a much more well-adjusted person is a clip I once saw of Hank Green saying that anyone can be in amazing shape as long as being in amazing shape is one of their top three priorities.
(This is obviously a generalization that isn't true for everyone. But it is true for most people and I'm proceeding from there.)
This "top three priorities" framing has genuinely reduced my tendency toward jealousy and self-comparison a lot. Now when I feel envious of someone’s spotless, aesthetic home, I think to myself, “Having a spotless, aesthetic home is probably one of their top three priorities. It’s definitely not one of mine, so I shouldn’t expect my home to look like that.”
Or when I see an influencer with a body that takes a ton of work to maintain: “Maintaining that body is obviously one of her top three priorities, because it’s her livelihood. My livelihood is my brain, so I’m never going to prioritize my body like that.”
It also helps me to identify areas that I actually DO want to prioritize more. I realized in recent years that my envy for my friends who prioritized writing more than I did was NOT going away, so I started to prioritize writing more. (Not top three, but higher priority than it has been in the past.)
two things. I think america needs to retire the “killing baby hitler” debate for good bc it turns out a lot of them would vote for & cheer for adult hitler as he strips away their rights and plans world domination
but on the topic of voting…….. can someone investigate into this quote from donald trump?? “He [elon] knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide”
united nations? nato? abraham lincolns ghost???? literally ANYONE????
In my first year university course there was a class I remember as being mandatory (at least for English majors) about fallacies and biases in writing. And this prof was all about reading the whole article before you formed your argument. That was his whole thing. You know measure twice cut once he was read twice respond once. He stressed this so much that on our final exam (which was two long form essay questions and a few short answer questions) that I decided to read the WHOLE exam booklet before I grabbed my pen.
Turns out that is what he wanted. The final page, the final question, informed the student that if they wrote 1. Their name, 2. Their student number 3. Their favourite fallacy, and wait for 30 minutes so they don't arouse suspicion, you will literally be given 100 percent for the exam WORTH 40 PERCENT OF YOUR GRADE.
I think about it to this day. The prof literally saw the "reading comprehension on this site is piss poor" and said I can fix them
I feel like I need to stress. This was not done out of the goodness of his heart. This man thrives in chaos. About 4 seconds after me and the maybe 12 other students who read through packed up our stuff and left, the rest of the class discovered his little joke. First they cried out, but then they tried to argue with him. The man that had, at that point, spent two semesters teaching them about flawed arguments.
He was in heaven
Everyone keeps saying "four years" as if we are not living in a christo fascist oligarchic dictatorship now. I envy your optimism and naivety.
It's been three days since I originally posted this and I'm here to say
I fucking told y'all
This is a distraction. Constitutional amendments are stupid hard to pass. Probably more useful to check and see if your state is gearing up to use immigrants as slave labor (Missouri is, there's a whole bill setting it up) or how to give money to the legal organizations that are currently stalling on transferring trans prisoners to their AGAB prison, or other bits of harm delay. They want us so overwhelmed we do nothing. Screen out the news, pick a thing, and do something about it.
i remember when i was a child internet safety was like "if you even hint at the country you live in, you're gonna get kidnapped and murdered", and nowadays it is encouraged or even necessary to give corporations every single personal detail if you want to use anything because if they can't sell your information they cry so hard they throw up
Hey. International people.
Keep calling it the Gulf of Mexico or whatever your term is for it. Do not allow the Republican regime to label that body of water the Gulf of America to the world. The name came from a the term Mexica, what the Aztecs called themselves. It’s been called the Gulf of Mexico since the 1600s.
Keep calling it Mount Denali. The original name before it was Mount McKinley. Don’t let the First Nations be erased.
It may sound stupid and petty. But it is an attempt to rewrite history and make us forget the origins. It is a literal white washing of history. This type of censorship is a beginning to greater evils.
This goes for everyone who works in writing. If you write for a website, social media, blog, if you make marketing emails, it’s called the Gulf of Mexico. If you’re company is having discuss about how to interpret the style guide on this issue, you have to double down on the Gulf of Mexico. There’s no neutral or apolitical way about writing about geography and your voice matters.
A social media business renamed itself to a single letter and everyone thought it was annoying but most writers reluctantly capitulated because they wanted to use the official name. We can’t let that happen with a sovereign country’s sovereign waters.
Rest in Power, Edward Crawford.
“Crawford is the second high-profile Ferguson protestors to be found dead of gunshot wounds in recent months. Darren Seals, a well-known activist in the community, was found shot dead in a burning car on September 2016. His case remains unsolved. Maria Chappelle-Nadal, a member of the Missouri Senate, tweeted her belief that Ferguson protestors are being hunted.”
“Crawford’s father Edward Sr. told the Post-Dispatch that he died of a gunshot wound, which police are treating as self-inflicted. Crawford Sr. told the newspaper that his son had been in “good spirits,” recently, and was in the midst of training for a new job and moving in to a new apartment.”

I reject all incarnations of the addams family written like spooky goths who hate normies. The joke is that they're warm and welcoming and they don't even know that they're weird. Still might maim you though because they also think everyone else is into hardcore sadomasochism.
