The “insult to life itself” quote was about an animation that was supposed to be creepy, but reminded him of how his disabled friend moved, wasn’t it? I thought it was about the art actually, albeit unintentionally, directly insulting someone.

Meh. If you’re the sort of person who cares, you probably stopped using TikTok when they started sucking up to Trump. If you still use it, you probably support Amazon, too.

I dunno, I have a sibling I’ve never met because they were kidnapped before I was born. Teaching a kid to be safe doesn’t give them the ability to overpower adults.

I think when they get a little older you obviously need to stop tracking them, but I also don’t think it’s bad to want to know where your little kids are.

I do think it’s bad to use an app that has their full names and pictures, though. That’s common sense.

Bad. Tired. There are 2000 picks in the system at any given time and I’m not making a dent in the work and they’re guilting me for not working over.

I just feel really emotionally unstable and all my relationships stress me out.

If people are actually protesting, of course I don’t consider it a joke. I just thought the one in February 5th was a joke, everyone was guilt tripping me for asking questions but refused to answer them.

Three different start times, two different addresses, and everyone pretending there’s a signal chat just feels like a trick.

50501 didn’t turn out to be a prank? My state’s “organizer” was a deleted reddit post with no other contact info, the posters named three different start times, and only two people claimed to have links to the signal chat and stopped replying when I asked for it, even though they offered.

I visited the subreddit three days before it was supposed to take place, and they were still figuring out basics. One of the top posts was discussing the dress code (consensus seemed to be wearing blue + American flag scarfs), and the one person pointing out how impractical and dangerous that was for a protest was getting downvoted.

Thats the reason I’m not protesting, btw. One protest in my area and it seemed like either a joke, a honeypot, or like a teenager came up with it.

Two very different answers here 😛

There are a lot of people who would rush me to the hospital but also voted to take away my rights and worse. I don’t know if I believe in good people these days.

God, infowars. I swear my brother bought coffee or something from them and it dragged my mother down the far right rabbit hole with him. I wish I could go back in time and do something more than cringe when he showed me the packaging that said “wakey wakey America”.

I have the aesthetics of someone with their shit together!

I wouldn’t touch it. I don’t trust anyone to use it tactfully. All the people I’ve seen say “I’m disabled so I can use it” art like, low support needs, average IQ autistic people. Someone told me I can use it since I’m dyslexic.

My aunt was diagnosed with that term in the 50s and she was never able to read or write, couldn’t be independent for long stretches of her life. That’s different from me getting laughed at when I read a customer’s order.

They’ll regenerate like starfish. Infinite switches!

I tried AI once but it just kept telling me to call the hotlines. Useless.

Nope. When I make plans with people, it usually ends with one of us giving a 👍. I thought it meant “we’re all on the same page”.

Frustrating. They changed my shift from 8am to 5am at the last minute. Spent the whole week sleep-deprived and sluggish, had to miss things I really wanted to do because every day after work I’ve basically struggled to do chores then struggled to get to bed on time. Also where I do so much walking on the job, I finally rubbed through the thighs in my last decent pair of pants, and couldn’t find a single new pair that fit me.

Psychiatrist changed the app she uses for video calls, to one that doesn’t work. Every device I tried it on just gave me a white page with a permission error. So no psychiatrist appointment, no adderall refill. That’s going to be fun.

My cat is starting to get restless with our daily walks. They’ve tripled in length and she’ll never come in on her own anymore, I have to carry her, hissing and growling, back to the apartment. The whole time we’re outside she’s just mad that I won’t let her climb the neighbor’s fence. Even though she doesn’t enjoy it, she spends all night howling if we don’t do it. I love her a lot but I’m getting tired.

At least it’s a beautiful day.

Anything tied to a movie or TV show is probably obvious, but I immediately thought of The Power of Love from the old Sailor Moon dub. I remember swinging on the swingset singing it with my bestie while our moms held a yard sale.

The last song from Garfield On the Town also immediately puts me in mind of being a little kid sitting on my brother’s carpet, since he had a VCR.

Morning:

• 5am: wake up in my gym clothes
• 5:05: drink my pre-workout and scroll for a minute
• 5:15: sit down to put shoes on. Cat gets on my lap

This is where morning turns into a choose your own adventure game!

• 5:15: sat cat on floor and go to the gym
• 5:30: weight training
• 7:00: shower
• 7:20: breakfast
• 8:00: work

OR

• 5:15: give kitty five minutes, she deserves it
• 5:30: realize I’m running late but now I’m in the middle of some stupid task on my phone
• 6:00: I’m not going to get a full workout in anyway, I’m just going to eat breakfast now and go to the gym after work
• 7:30: time to go to work! oh no I’m still in my gym clothes
• 7:40: time to go to work!
• 7:50: oh god I forgot about the school zone
• 8:05: I want to die and take everyone on this highway with me

Night

• what the fuck
• uhhhhh
• somehow falls asleep two hours later than planned in a spot other than my bed

But if you tell people “I wake up at 5am to work out”, they automatically assume you have your shit together. 😎

GAY!

I like to follow a couple reporters directly as opposed to subscribing to the local paper and wading through the fluff pieces, so that means using Bluesky.

Back when I was still an artist for my super niche internet garbage, that meant using Tumblr, then after the Tumblr purge, Twitter. Then after Musk, cohost, then after cohost… I mean, I was done with art but I’d probably be on Bluesky for that too.
