Spent a ridiculous amount of time last night obsessively editing my hand written zines in Photoshop to take away any tiny blemishes so they were definitely readable.

Whatever. Understand or don't.

what drink I think certain characters from Arthurian legend would order at a bar:

Sir Lancelot: Vodka Red Bull.

Sir Galahad: A glass of water, no ice.

Sir Gawain: The most pretentious craft beer.

King Arthur: Any beer. Not pretentious, not picky.

Queen Guinevere: Grapefruit seltzer of some kind.

Sir Kay: Stout of some kind.

Sir Bedivere: Dry martini.

Sir Perceval: The fruitiest, girliest, most whimsical cocktail on the menu.

Merlin: Also a whimsical fruity little drink enjoyer.

Morgan: Espresso martini.

The Green Knight: Absinthe and he genuinely enjoys the taste.

Me in 2006: I’m still bitter about that

Me in 2016: I’m still salty about that

Me in 2026, probably: I’m still umami about that

I feel like I need to share this because idk if Europeans are familiar with the presence of Aldi in the US, but at least especially in my area they’ve been growing a lot recently. Like Aldi bought out some local failing grocery chains where I live (Louisiana) and have opened Aldis in all these somewhat rural communities and small towns, which for the record I’m fine with

But as a result of this they are advertising a lot more in my area and also in many cases, the people in these areas have never been confronted with Aldi or any European grocery store. So the ads that Aldi is pushing out to its new US customer base feature a cowboy shopping at Aldi who is explaining to new Aldi customers how Aldi works. Like this cowboy is explaining you gotta put a quarter in the shopping cart and why there are very little name brands. A cowboy is how they want to reach their American customer base. They gave us a cowboy

Here he is, the Aldi Cowboy

These remind me of this drawing by Franz Kafka from the 1900s. We've been feeling this way for a long time.

Clickbait-thumbnail, Youtube-shorts-style, red-circle red-arrow, "THE ONE ANIMATION DETAIL YOU MISSED THAT CHANGES EVERTHING"-titled fandom theorizing is an invasive species.

Real fandom theorizing should be done in the form of a post on a dusty forum site that gets maximum 200 views and opens with the sentence "this is probably nothing but I noticed a pattern" followed by 1,000 words that crack wide open a canon reveal that isn't slotted to air for 5 more years.

Anyone got that poem written from the perspective of an English teacher where they know deeply personal things about their now adult students because of the essays they wrote

[cowboyproletarian]

FOUND IT it was in one of my boards

Small Town English Teacher

In your town, former students sling your drinks, snap your x-rays, and report your news on TV. You hold their secrets because you remember their essays.

One returns from combat, homecoming party at the airport, and you know he only joined up because his mom was ashamed of him. You remember the essay.

One dies from an opioid OD and you know about the man who groped her at work and how she told his wife. You remember the essay.

One smiles and wins an award and you know her drunk dad pushed her mom into a wall. You remember the essay.

One closes her eyes halfway in the mugshot and you know she worked in assisted living and once brushed a dying woman's hair. You remember the essay.
