EVERYONE GET EXCITED TO BE ALIVE!!!!!!!

It is crazy when I see myself basically begging the people around me to let me be the optimist. It is crazy to have to play devil's advocate as the optimist because everyone around you is such a defeatist. Lately I keep coming back to this feeling of worry for millennials and gen z succumbing to humorlessness and disaffection. While I do see and understand what differentiates our generations, it also bothers me that there's been a cultural divide mostly forced upon us that only serves as a distraction because honestly, we more or less have the same issues and were born into the same world. It makes me feel genuinely refreshed when I encounter someone my own age, slightly older or younger, who doesn't feel crushed into constant inaction or who doesn't take everything so literally all the time. But this is a reminder to myself too, of course. I think within optimism is the spirit of defiance, and within defiance must lie humor and affection. Being defiant is what allows us to live our lives despite our disaffection. And so defiance must have everything to do with joy and humor and love.

One time I was leaving a friend's place and an older lady with basically no English came up to me and communicated that she was very cold and needed a ride. She pointed to tell me where to go.

I got there and her daughter or granddaughter came out and was like omg her phone died we were worried

And then the older lady said something and the younger lady translated.

"She knew she could trust you because you have pink hair"

I thought it was funny at the time. But when I think back on it I think she was basically saying "you had a visible sign of not vibing with the system I was afraid of"

Be weird. Be colorful. Help random people.

do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

WE LOVE YOU MARSHA!!!!!!!!

Last night as I was drifting off to sleep, I suddenly remembered Google+

I remembered when in 2013 you were required to have a Google+ account in order to comment on youtube videos.

I remembered Google bragging how it was one of the fastest growing social media platforms, but again, this was inflated numbers because people needed to get Google+ if they wanted to access their gmail accounts (and again, youtube comments)

I remembered this very same comic:

And I remember in 2019 when Google+ finally died for good.

If we can kill Google+ by sheer apathy and continued refusal to use it, we can do the same with all these AI companies trying to force it down our throats.

Continue clicking Not Interested in the AI search prompts. Continue scrolling past AI ads without a second thought. Continue resisting AI at every turn. We defeated things like this before and we can do it again.

Hell fucking yes 👌
