Wow it’s such a crazy feeling to lose all interest in a project you’ve been looking forward to for years from one second to another. I don’t hate any of the characters in the Thunderbolts lineup but I LOVED the original rumours and now I feel a bit empty because I no longer have that to look forward to.

Leon: *Get's chased by the blight then somehow manages to get on a rock*

The Blight: *Tries to hit Leon a few times but fails*

Leon: "Ha! You can't hit me, I'm safe up here!"

The Blight: *Figures out how to get on rock and hits Leon*

Leon: "Ah! Abort mission, abort mission!"

I had a little celebration since I wasn’t getting any of those porn bots for a while then I got bombarded with them right afterwards. Is this a sign?

Student loan forgiveness is dead.

I held out hope that the appeals court might reject the lawsuit that paused the forgiveness plan, but 10 of the 11 judges on the 8th circuit are Republicans; 1 from Bush Sr, 5 from Bush Jr, and 4 from Trump. It's dead. Dead as s fucking doornail. It's so dead, it was never even alive, never even had a chance. It'll get nuked, and if the Department of Education appeals it to the Supreme Court it'll get double nuked, 6-3 with Amy Coney Barrett writing the majority opinion. I thought it was weird that she didn't nuke it herself the other day; she rejected a Wisconsin lawsuit which tried to pause the forgiveness plan, and I thought that that was a good sign, that maybe just maybe the forgiveness plan would go through, but nope, turns out she was just giving the 8th circuit time to get its ducks in a row and take the shot itself. She wasn't protecting loan forgiveness, she was teeing it up to get nuked, and I don't even know why I ever thought otherwise. Surely the SCOTUS majority can't be pure evil, surely a broken clock is right twice a day, surely there must be some fluke issues that they would let slide without injecting personal partisan biases into it, but no. No. No, no, no, no, no, they're rotten to the fucking core. There is no level they won't stoop to. Nothing is sacred, they'll destroy any and everything if it'll help the Republican party gain so much as an inch! If McCarthy and McConnell wanted to make Bible study a required class in every public school, the six stooges would make it so without batting a fucking eye, first amendment be damned. The constitution says whatever they want it to say at any given moment, no precedent, everything decided case by case.

probably time for this story i guess but when i was a kid there was a summer that my brother was really into making smoothies and milkshakes. part of this was that we didn't have AC and couldn't afford to run fans all day so it was kind of important to get good at making Cool Down Concoctions.

we also had a patch of mint, and he had two impressionable little sisters who had the attitude of "fuck it, might as well."

at one point, for fun, this 16 year old boy with a dream in his eye and scientific fervor in heart just wanted to see how far one could push the idea of "vanilla mint smoothie". how much vanilla extract and how much mint can go into a blender before it truly is inedible.

the answer is 3 cups of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk alternative, and about 50 sprigs (not leaves, whole spring) of mint. add ice and the courage of a child. idk, it was summer and we were bored.

the word i would use to describe the feeling of drinking it would maybe be "violent" or perhaps, like. "triangular." my nose felt pristine. inhaling following the first sip was like trying to sculpt a new face. i was ensconced in a mesh of horror. it was something beyond taste. for years after, i assumed those commercials that said "this is how it feels to chew five gum" were referencing the exact experience of this singular viscous smoothie.

what's worse is that we knew our mother would hate that we wasted so much vanilla extract. so we had to make it worth it. we had to actually finish the drink. it wasn't "wasting" it if we actually drank it, right? we huddled around outside in the blistering sun, gagging and passing around a single green potion, shivering with disgust. each sip was transcendent, but in a sort of non-euclidean way. i think this is where i lost my binary gender. it eroded certain parts of me in an acidic gut ecology collapse.

here's the thing about love and trust: the next day my brother made a different shake, and i drank it without complaint. it's been like 15 years. he's now a genuinely skilled cook. sometimes one of the three of us will fuck up in the kitchen or find something horrible or make a terrible smoothie mistake and then we pass it to each other, single potion bottle, and we say try it it's delicious. it always smells disgusting. and then, cerimonious, we drink it together. because that's what family does.
