The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

as soon as the internet decided depression and anxiety were the everyman mental illnesses and therefore not to be taken seriously we were all fucked tbh bc the fact that i have to feel embarrassed to admit i have debilitating anxiety because people will think im just an uwu dont call me out coward is ridiculous. its insane that i have to clarify that my depressive episodes are like life threatening and not whatever dipshit dumbed down idea of depression people seem to have like oh yeah i just wanna watch netflix and eat ice cream and not text people back. like bro i think im the devil

gotta love how the news is like "but-but-but but guys :( they burnt a car :(( that's a very bad thing to do okay? not good. :("

dude they are fucking deporting citizens and we are watching a genocide brew within our borders, i think i'd rather a few cars fet burnt than thousands of innocent lives be lost

anyways, power to L.A. and safety to the protesters!

i don’t wanna hear it about the “who’s meaner: andrew or aaron” discussion anymore. it’s aaron 1000%. andrew doesn’t care to hurt your feelings, aaron however, does care to. he knows exactly how to hurt your feelings and is unafraid to go there.

actually it's really funny that the foxhole court starts with neil telling us he 'smokes' cigarettes because the smell reminds him of his dead mother. like no hello no how are you we just jumping right into this one
