we need to slow down a little I'm so serious. all these quick short videos on tiktok, ig reels, and youtube, artists releasing quick little songs for the trend, tv shows releasing episodes at once, people using chat gpt and google ai overview because they get answers quickly but no validation done for the source, we need to sloww downn i really do not think our brains should be running this fast

not my toddler gaslighting me by insisting she can make her own lunch, and then using weaponized incompetence + white woman tears to manipulate me into doing everything for her when she "changed her mind". i work full time as a SAHP and can NOT handle this mental workload, we as a society need to have an open and honest discussion about lunch's role in the fathers' mental health crisis.

Writing and reading are not all that distinct for a writer. Both exercises require being alert and ready for unaccountable beauty, for the intricateness or simple elegance of the writer’s imagination, for the world that imagination evokes. Both require being mindful of the places where imagination sabotages itself, locks its own gates, pollutes its vision. Writing and reading mean being aware of the writer’s notions of risk and safety, the serene achievement of, or sweaty fight for, meaning and response-ability.

the time to be a mean dyke is now. be a killjoy feminist and take things too seriously, we’ve been too nice about girl math and girl dinner and pink jobs and the general infantilization of women and it’s gotten us nowhere. be a buzzkill now, for our future and our dignity

they should make a version of socializing that doesn’t make you feel like you’re still the weird 12 year old kid that doesn’t know why she’s not normal like the other kids
