i think having “having a coke with you” with you by mark leidner is the greatest love poem of all time

If u want community irl and dont know where to start: take out your headphones when youre around people in public

“But i-“ - then dont, idgaf

What ive noticed since ive done so:

- people will strike up conversation when they see you can hear them

- people will talk to you in places you wouldnt expect, (this can be wanted or unwanted, up to u how to proceed)

- you’ll feel more approachable, and that will make you feel more able to make conversation

Yeah im mostly talking about being more socially open to your local community through small action, but do this repeatedly in your area and people will start to recognize you in your community and you will recognize others. Thats a START

I love when a trans woman comes out because the flowers bloom and the clouds part and the birds join in chorus and a rainbow leaps across the sky and the world is no longer a mean place for a little bit because Whoa! New girl! New girl!

the u.s government really is so incompetent that you can just cntrl + A, cntrl + C, cntrl + V and unredact the epstein files? Did they really redact them as a pdf document with like the rectangle tool or something?

Icing on the cake is every news outlet saying "hackers" as if basic word document functionality isnt a minimum requirement for every single office worker in the world.

There is no way of being, identity, creed, race, religion, attitude, trauma, or behaviour that absolves you from causing harm

You have potential to cause harm no matter who you are and there is no one out there who isnt capable of doing something harmful

Putting folks hard work through a machine you don’t deserve call yourself fan of art.
