I propose a much much worse version of ai brainrot, which is people who use grok for everything.

Having a boyfriend is so cool. Like I sent him a video that said "I can't believe I haven't been asked to be someone's president for president's day" AND HE GOES "will you be my president?" LIKE WTF THIS MAN LOVES ME??????

I love the concept of a least weasel, like someone looked at it and said "Yeah that is the least weasel there ever was"

hey did you know that uhh

i. the monster's body is a cultural body

ii. the monster always escapes

iii. the monster is the harbinger of category crisis

iv. the monster dwells at the gates of difference

v. the monster polices the borders of the possible

vi. fear of the monster is really a kind of desire

vii. the monster stands at the threshold… of becoming

[counttwinkula]

oh shit i didn't expect this to actually get notes lmao

these are all direct quotes from jeffrey jerome cohen's "monster culture (seven theses)" (full pdf linked) i highly encourage you to read it yourself!

that said, while i think cohen's writing is evocative, it can be a little dense, so while i'm here, here's my capsule summary (you can also hear me talk about this in the first episode of my podcast) (listen to @ghostswerepeopletoo)

i. the monster's body is a cultural body - The monster is a work of fiction to be analyzed through tools of literary and sociological theory.

ii. the monster always escapes - As long as the cultural fear from which the monster stems persists, the monster will reappear in retellings, reimaginings, and sequels.

iii. the monster is the harbinger of category crisis - Monsters defy binaries and challenge easy comprehension or categorization.

iv. the monster dwells at the gates of difference - The monster represents the Other.

v. the monster polices the borders of the possible - Tales of the monster exist to discourage unacceptable or taboo behaviors.

vi. fear of the monster is really a kind of desire - Subjects can vicariously participate in the disruption of the social order through the monster.

vii. the monster stands at the threshold… of becoming - Within the monster we find information about the self.

I want to be very clear on this. You can be out drinking with your friends on Friday night and dead on Sunday because of meningitis. Does that sound a little specific? Guess why I have such a specific scenario in mind.

And getting vaccinated is an easy way to prevent that. There is no medical reason to stop recommending that vaccine. There's no new study that shows that it's unsafe, there's no replacement that's better. This is literally the government making its citizenry less safe for no reason.

Did some Jason Todd fanart while using procreate for the first time. Looks like it does, no judging

Brennan Lee Mulligan's birthday is the same day as National Trivia Day and I feel like thats so correct.

Sometimes I remember how absolutely brain rotted a lot of conservatives are, like this conversation with my mom:

Mom: These people seem unnecessarily multicultural.

Me: This is a documentary. These are real people.

Mom: But still

Me: They're all related. No wonder they're all the same race. And happen to not be white.

Crazy thing about working in a movie theater is that people will just leave behind things like perfect replicas of D20 miniatures.

I used to think that bring back an overdue book was the worst thing to do when going to a library. But now, I have to go and explain that my overdue book actually no longer exists, and was in my house when it burnt down.

[charliedrawsbadly]

When your house burns down so you're technically homeless, but it's cool because you went to a Hozier concert, where Gigi Perez opened.
