  • It’s so stupid, ain’t it? The logic is so broken when you think about it. So the south has oppressive laws. You think that’s bad, because people deserve better, right? Except then you hate people for being oppressed, so much that you want them to suffer further punishment.

    So you don’t actually hate oppression, right? So then why don’t you like the south?

    Liberals are some of the stupidest creatures alive. (I’m a leftist)


  • Appalachia is flooded and tons of people can’t get clean water or evacuate due to roads collapsing. Opened Tumblr, saw a smug liberal practically orgasming over “you Trump voters” getting what we deserve.

    I guess I’m fighting with my only friend again. I told him I explained something badly and he misunderstood it. He told me he’s too stupid to have serious conversations with. I reiterated that the communication failure was on my end, and he’s not stupid. He suddenly flipped the script and said I always make him feel stupid and that I think he’s lesser than me. Even though he was calling himself stupid and I was trying to reassure him? I attempted to comfort him and asked what I could do better, since I actually really admire him, but he hasn’t replied.

    It’s almost time to return my library book and I’ve barely touched it. I carry it everywhere with me, but we’re so busy I have to work through my breaks and I pretty much fall asleep when I get home. I guess it’s more of a hobby for well off people.

    Maybe next week will be remotely decent.

    It’s like a sweetened, fizzy sassafras drink. Pretty good depending where you get it.

    The USA has a weird thing where we use the words for alcoholic drinks to describe non-alcoholic ones. We also call spiced fruit drinks “cider” and actual cider “hard cider”. Not sure why.

    Just because you’re aro or aroace doesn’t mean you don’t understand heartache and loss. When we empathize with fictional characters, is it because we’ve been through exactly what they’ve been through? Doubtful, because then fantasy wouldn’t exist. But we’ve had similar emotions, so it resonates.

    I don’t really see why songs would be any different.


  • Lil bit of a bummer, feels like I just exercise, work, and sleep. My limited free time has been spent on my family, which… ughhhh by the time I realized they mistreated me all my life and I hate them, they’d lost power over me, so basically they’re not pushing me around anymore and think we’re all friends, and I don’t know how to tell them that I’m retroactively spiteful. So I play nice.

    Gonna try so hard to get some reading and drawing done in the coming days.

    That’s actually the joke of the original comic. The kid calls the guy Shrek, and the mom apologizes for her daughter’s rudeness before saying something like “no, that’s just an ugly bald man”.

    I like how every time it gets edited, there are people in the comments who notice the Shrek similarity but don’t always agree if it’s intentional. The artist did a good job on that front.





  • Bad mental health week. Accidentally alienated my only friend because he was trying to be nice but I felt like he didn’t hear what I was saying and I kept talking in circles.

    I don’t think therapy is an option because I can’t afford an involuntary commitment. I looked it up, and if I get lucky and they send me to the cheapest hospital, the first day will wipe out my savings. It’s a minimum 72-hour hold, I’d be ruined.

    Also I didn’t even get my library card because I didn’t realize the library closes early on my day off 😢

    Just trying to bury myself in overtime so I don’t have time to mess my life up.
