Puppy passed the civil service exam to become the new REAPER… he doesn't quite know how to do the job yet, but he's very hardworking.

A crucial part of the bookstore experience is saying hi to all the books you’ve already read

i mean this from the bottom of my heart: no one is impressed by your loud ass car. actually we talked about it and we all want you dead.

I know I’m not saying anything new here but I do think we need to more frequently call out how stupid the “‘they’ secretly have the cure for cancer and other sicknesses but are hiding it because they make more money off sick people” shit is. This is idiotic and people need to feel bad for saying it out loud. It’s such a slap in the face to researchers working their asses off every day to develop new treatments (my aunt has multiple myeloma and is currently part of another clinical trial at the Mayo Clinic, and trust me, the people there actually want her to get better!). But it’s also idiotic because a) it’s just not how things work b) “they” would just charge a shit ton of money for the cure, then, as people would be willing to sell their damn homes to have their cancer cured and c) people in power still die of these things. John McCain was a respected US senator who died of brain cancer, Beau Biden was the sitting vice president’s son when he also died of brain cancer, Joe Biden himself is a former president who is currently battling prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones. If “they” (who? Who’s “they”?) in power actually have the cure for cancer, then wouldn’t the damn American president have access to it, at the very least?

Like so many conspiracy theories, it’s a combination of smug cynicism and the refusal to grapple with how bleak reality can be. False flag conspiracy theorists don’t want to accept that a man could really massacre a classroom full of children with a gun, and these people don’t want to accept that terrible things could happen to our bodies and medical science genuinely is not there yet for us to stop it. I’m tired of people casually saying this shit when it has consequences, especially with public health. A lunatic is running HHS right now due to people embracing conspiratorial thinking with health and healthcare. Just shut up when you don’t know what you’re talking about, man

can we stop using “being unapologetically loud and taking up space” as the ultimate expression of joy and self-expression? i think the pendulum needs to swing back to maintaining mindful and moderate volume and being spatially considerate of others and being apologetic when necessary. no offense but i think everyone alive rn has the loudness and taking up space thing covered. if this breaks containment, i am sure everyone will be normal about the wording of this post and will have normal and good faith interpretations of it.

learned today that one of the hosts of a podcast I occasionally listen to was in the epstein files because of an incident wherein she was being sexually harassed/abused by a man who worked in her field -> she created a google doc for other women in said field to anonymously submit the names of men who had harassed/abused them -> one of these men sued for her for defamation even though she didn’t know him & didn’t even know who his victim was -> he couldn’t afford lawyers & reached out to epstein for funding -> epstein gave it to him -> after 5 years she was forced into a settlement & had to pay him over $100k. the way these predatory men find solidarity with each other is so so so profoundly evil

this actually makes more sense to me than like anything else happening in the world currently. like it blows catastrophically to be sure but it checks out
