I highly recommend NOT smoking a blunt before going to the grocery store in the middle of a global pandemic. My already paranoid ass was circled by random strangers at one point and I almost lost my shit.

It’s amazing to me that a year and a half ago, I was contemplating suicide because I could never make anyone happy. And today, the only thing I did was make myself happy, and I’ve never felt more alive.

I don’t know what that’s called but it feels really good.

I went the the ER yesterday morning for the worst cramps I’ve ever had in my life. I was comparing these to birth contractions. They hurt so bad I was throwing up. Turns out I just needed to poop...

You were my best friend before you went to Stanford. And I really miss you.

We make decisions every day that set the course of our lives moving forward. But what if you fuck up and choose the wrong path? Is there any way to go back?

I like how “as fuck” is a common unit of measurement

i honestly think that what we consider the height of sculpture in all of Western civilization being essentially the leftover templates of gaudy pieces of theme park shit to be evidence of the potential merit of found art

And you know what the funniest part is? The paint didn’t just wear off over time. A bunch of asshole British historians back in the Victorian era actually went around scrubbing the remaining paint off of Greek and Roman statues - often destroying the fine details of the carving in the process - because the bright colours didn’t fit the dignified image they wished to present of the the cultures they claimed to be heirs to. This process also removed visible evidence of the fact that at least some of the statues thus stripped of paint had originally depicted non-white individuals.

Whenever you look at a Roman statue with a bare marble face, you’re looking at the face of imperialist historical revisionism.

(The missing noses on a lot of Egyptian statues are a similar deal. It’s not that the ancient Egyptians made statues with strangely fragile noses. Many Victorian archaeologists had a habit of chipping the noses off of the statues they brought back, then claiming that they’d found them that way - because with the noses intact, it was too obvious that the statues were meant to depict individuals of black African descent.)
