While making dinner tonight, I very very fleetingly, but very seriously and legitimately thought “I should watch Goncharov tonight”
And then I Remembered.
That it's no longer on poob?
This is incomprehensible outside of tumblr, i love a well maintained closed ecosystem
i know it’s supposed to be “it’s gonna be may!” But ain’t that fuckin’ ramen?
how soon we forget Justin timberlake’s bad perm
are you serious???
The Tell-Tale Heart

"unbecoming" is such a great word. bro that shit was so rude you no longer Are
this too shall pass but the fuck was that for
feels like im always recovering. when do i get to live
"it's okay to rest for as long as you need from burnout" how long is it actually going to take though. there's stuff i wanna do.
sleep is stolen time. don't let them take it from you anymore. tonight. we are staying up. til one billion o clock.
also shoutout to my really tired old white guy gynecologist who when i said "i want a hysterectomy" did not push back at all and instead sighed, and without looking up at me from his tablet went "We'll have to do a bunch of stuff for insurance because it's a scam and otherwise they won't approve it" and then after laying out the plan walked me out and i dont know if we made eye contact once after shaking hands, which is exactly the kind of medical care i want in this day and age.
Live Nation/Ticketmaster is a monopoly, which is why it can get away with awful service, charging exorbitant prices, and tacking on fees as high as 75% of the ticket. Biden sued to break it up. However, after intense lobbying from MAGA world lawyers, Trump's regime tried to cut a sweetheart deal. But 34 of the 40 states that had joined the federal lawsuit balked at the terms and continued the trial on their own. Today they were victorious. This is a big deal, and a reminder that we still have power at the state and local level.
I've never read Homestuck but there's a type of media that I call "a Homestuck" and I think it's a useful categorization. The main criteria are:
long enough that the time investment is a serious barrier to entry
irrevocably changes your personality
brings something genuinely unique to the table. there is no real substitute for reading/playing/watching it in its entirety
Fate/Stay Night is a Homestuck. Worm is a Homestuck. When They Cry is a Homestuck.
Undertale has cultural impact similar to a Homestuck at first glance, but the fact that it's a pretty short and accessible game means that you don't get the particular mix of sunk cost fallacy and an intimate experience with a piece of media that results in you needing to connect with others who have already put in the time investment. You can buy your friends Undertale and expect them to play it if they're not too busy; telling a friend to read Homestuck is giving them a quest that, if accepted, will spark an odyssey. to read someone's Homestuck is an act of love without true equivalent.
With this definition "The Sequences" by Eliezer Yudkowsky for the 'rationalist' community of LessWrong, an incredibly long and rather dry series of blog posts sort-of on the topics of reason and technology, would be considered a homestuck, and I feel like just saying that is going to get me killed. It's only rational. Effectively altruistic in a sense.

the ashtrays in airplane bathrooms are a fascinating harm reduction metaphor. yes it's illegal as hell to smoke in there. yes there's a smoke detector that will snitch on you the second you light up. so why is there an ashtray? because if there weren't, your single momentary dumbass crime could kill 300 people. it is fucking vital that if someone does have a lit cigarette on a plane, they have a place to safely put it out.
“Your days are numbered” yeah it’s called a calendar you fucking idiot.
