(never degraded someone before) you have your mother's cruelty. and your father's cowardice.

I have always dreamed of interviewers asking basic questions of the killer clowns who run America. I can't believe it took Tucker Carlson to do it.

I’ve heard Cruz talk about deposing “the mullahs” for 13 years straight. During the 2016 GOP primary, he said he wanted to see if “sand glows in the dark.” You’d figure he’d learn some basic facts about the main villain in his moral universe in that time

its always scary to me how you can just do anything like i could spend the last of my money right now to ride a train for 3 hours and then just be stuck out there and walk around until i die of exhaustion

excited to wake up tomorrow and draw compulsively. the same motif over and over again. discovering myself through habit. i am now in the practice of craning my body over my sketchbook to draw smaller and smaller shapes. my repetitive practice. i feel mistaken by my previous artistic identity of being a sentimentalist. and really im just rehashing the separation of content and form all over again. also politics and art. maybe we can elect form to have the same ‘speaking’ capacity as content. but im not convinced by the bohemians claiming that form and content are inseparable and perform the same operations even though ive came across words like ‘ocularcentric’ and ‘scopophilic’ before.

God just. The 11th and 12th doctor eras are clearly a direct and argumentative response to the 10th doctor era in such a glaring way that nothing else is, and it's all because of Donna

"samuel beckett was a vampire and is still alive as half of daft punk" is an idea of such intellect and culture you'd think it was from riverdale but it's actually from amc's interview with the vampire

i will raise my children traditionally

the oldest will have a ruinous military career and develop a tendency to recklessness, alcoholism and anger management issues the middle one will be a brilliant student with strong atheist inclinations and casual demonic hallucinations the youngest will be an angel prone to hysteria turned tsaricide by circumstances

choosing a PhD advisor is not unlike marriage reality shows. making a multi year commitment on the basis of only a handful of awkward, perfunctory interactions. very small pool of options. something kinda wrong with all of them

it must have sucked for helena to be told to her face that the reason she wasn't able to fool Irving was because she was cruel. helena who knows she is cruel, who's able to admit to mark s that she didn't like who she was on the outside, who is stealing her innie's place just to feel a crumb of the affection and kindness she is denied outside of the severed floor. to be told that her cruelty is impossible to miss, that it is obvious to anyone who is paying attention. she wasn't trying to be kind- she was trying to be helly r, and fundamentally misunderstood that helly r and helena are different because helly r isn't cruel.

helena gets the abrasiveness right, the intensity, the flirting, the anger. but she doesn't get that helly r is able to have all that without pointing it like a weapon at someone else. helena knows how to be nice, but not kind. and she was loved for a brief moment, and she knows it's only because she was able to pretend to be someone else, and she wasn't even good at it.

can somebody call all my students and tell them ive died

ok i cant do this anymore this quote appears on my feed every day and it could be good, its close to good, but "how other kids shout in primary colours instead of pastels" is an awful line. its just so bad most times i forget to read the rest of the quote. From the moment you say "shout" the rest of the sentence is meaningless - it adds nothing to the idea or feeling. Its been annoying me for like half and year
