2026 I Will Not Obsessively Ruminate On Stupid Bullshit That Makes No Sense And Is Not Real

[mortalityplays]

here's a secret: whatever you're doing, you have to root for your peers with all your heart because it forces you to root for yourself too. I've seen people in various spheres of my life (workplaces, education, art, activism) fall into the trap of envy and resentment when they see others succeed while they struggle, and it always always goes hand in hand with them pulling back and giving up and stagnating.

when you let yourself get sour grapes about shit, you tacitly give up on yourself. when you sit around hoping other people will flop and fail so you can catch up to them, you stop trying. it's a fantasy of mediocrity, the vain wish that other people would walk so you could take the gold medal at a jog. wouldn't you rather come last place at 27mph?

the kids are calling them "stone fruits." they start off small—think cherries. then they're hooked and they need a quick fix, they get peaches, maybe some nectarines. it's all they can think about. before you know it, they're trying the really hard stuff—apricots, plums. once they taste a mango there's no going back.

One way that so much new ~woke horror~ is bad is that people think they are the next Stephen Graham Jones but will let a dog or a cute child survive an entire novel without even a serious maiming. Weak! You know exactly what it means when a cute dog shows up in a Stephen Graham Jones story! Go and do likewise or stick to YA!

You all might remember my beloved friend Maram. She is, thank God, still safe. Her six-year-old niece Jouri, however, is not. Please help her have a childhood elsewhere by donating to help get her out of Gaza.

Maram writes: My niece Jouri Faraj is stuck in Gaza, living with her step-mother and grandmother. She is without adequate food and hygiene, constantly hungry. Her father, my brother, was detained by Israeli forces two and a half years ago without any charges and no one has heard from him since, leaving her without protection in a violent and chaotic time.

It breaks my heart to say this, but already she has been sexually assaulted, at only six years old. There is no law in Gaza right now and no way for women and children to keep safe. Jouri cannot go to school, play with her friends, or even live with hopes and dreams.

There is no real childhood in Gaza.

Please help me get her out. She has a great-aunt she can live with in Egypt. I am currently living in Ireland, but as soon as I can, I can be reunited with her. Because her own mother never raised her, I was like a mother to her until I got out of Gaza myself. I know I can provide her with the love and care she needs

As always, I vouch for Maram and her family. If you trust me, you can trust her.

being single sucks [remembers that romantic love isnt the gleaming beacon of salvation that will fix the chasm within me] #mychasm #isupportmychasm [remembers not to trivialize my emotions] but it is painful to never have been deemed worthy of that kind of lasting love [remembers how many incels there are] but honestly you should be totally self-sufficient and never want anything ever [remembers that im evil] im evil

Tell the truth.

Why are y'all single?

Been a while since I’ve read a whole book in one day because it was compelling, so I have to recommend it to you guys: Emmett Rensin’s The Complications: On Going Insane in America. Bleak, thoughtful, good writing.

the worst thing about those fancy pears is that you think “there’s no way a pear could be worth that much” but if you actually make the mistake of tasting one you will be forced to confront the fact that what you thought was pleasure is but a shadow of a shadow and there is a world out there more real than real that your senses have been waiting for, where the colors are richer and the water is wetter and sleep is refreshing. and you’re not invited.

if you are ever offered a bite of one of these do not take it because you will live the rest of your life unsatisfied by sensory pleasures
