my tiktok and ig algorithm: take my hand, i promise this video will make something in your brain move and take you deeper in this hole because misery loves company

my pinterest and tumblr algorithm: you like beautiful pictures and they make you feel better. its going to be okay. you are alive and you can create meaning.

my happy place? do you mean commentary youtube? or the peace found in my morbid desire for the grotesque? midnight walks that feel uneasy? oh, theres a dead cat on the street. i feel sad now. and upset. who texts and speeds next to a school and kills a cat? i think that car is following me. that man is walking too close. is three left turns in a row out of the ordinary? hes gone now, i guess it was in my head. oh, the things in my head. i scare myself straight. was that a shadow i just saw? a wild raccoon or something more sinister? i can't get away. so i guess ill go back to my happy place and drown it all out with commentary youtube.

KILL AI AND REBLOG AND CREATE ART IN 2026

[taperingrats]

you dont know me the way the horrors do

[and-fishing-equipment]

in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

is it SINCERE

was it CATHARTIC

was it FUN TO MAKE

is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly

[taperingrats]

when i watch a tv show just to watch the video essays on it

[taperingrats]

literally in the amount of time and effort it takes me to ask people to do things i couldve done it myself. eldest daughter syndrome

[taperingrats]

[taperingrats]

everytime something insane happens i think, "what would bo say about this?" but then i think "well, he'd probably want you to think for yourself and not look to your unhealthy parasocial relationship with a 35 year old comedian who hasnt been active in half a decade for answers."

i genuinely love and respect bo burnham so much. his work is incredibly introspective, meaningful, reflective, personal, intelligent, aware, and of course, funny. every thought and experience he had and put into his material, its so wholly him yet entirely universal. it sounds cheesy to say, but i have to thank his work for getting me through some hard days. so, thank you bo, for your art.

[taperingrats]
