Blue, Indeed!

being sad and horny is a privilege

when I was in 8th grade, this guy in my last class of the day leaned over to me and said “everyone thinks I’m wearing plaid shorts, but they’re really just boxers”

and sure enough, upon closer inspection, they were indeed just boxers

this kid just up and didn’t wear pants to school and no one noticed

I think about it a lot

you met a god of yore

he lived many people’s nightmares like it’s nothing

a God amongst men, the walker between two worlds, the man, the myth, and the legend

Writing isn't the hobby. Being insane about little fake people is the hobby. Writing is just the only outlet i have for that

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

Having a "stupider people have done this" attitude about the things you want to do can open so many doors

This.

“you talk like a smart/pretentious person” actually I just forget simple words constantly and am forced to rummage through my brain for the nearest synonym, which is usually twice as long and needlessly specific

andddd I have the horrible tendency to ramble because I over explain the most simple concepts in an attempt to avoid being misunderstood as I so often was as a child

and I just keep rambling because as a kid talking was the only way to get attention and once I shut up I’m ignored again and then I go back to my books and learn new long words that no one else has heard of AAAAAAAAAH

it’s weird that professional letters are supposed to start with “dear.” i don’t even call my mom that

my darling hiring manager. my springtime rose. if hired i will bring a strong work ethic to this position

In German we write "Sehr geehrte(r)" which means "Greatly honoured." You could try "Greatly honoured Mr hiring manager" next time

I hate you Ozempic craze I hate you 'heroin chic' I hate you weight loss ads on public radio I hate Burn Fat Fast ads every thirty seconds I hate you I hate you I hate you

I grew up before the term 'thigh gap' was invented I grew up before 'hip dip' was invented I was born before 'muffin top' was a thing before 'clean girl look' was a thing before 'glass skin' was a thing before razoring off peach fuzz was a thing and I'm so so so fucking tired of us inventing new concepts purely for the purpose of convincing people to hate their own bodies enough to buy products

Last time Tuberculosis ran through the USA a small number of people got it on purpose to look skinny and waifish and delicate and used makeup to look flushed and bony and when the Victorians figured out tapeworms people would infect themselves on purpose to starve themselves smaller and women and now in the year of our lord 2026 there is a noticeable fraction of the USAmerican population genuinely thrilled about a treatment-resistant microbial parasite that makes you shit and vomit your brains out for a month because side effects include weight loss and STILL we talk about being skinny like it's the natural default setting for all healthy people as if it's a self-sustaining standard and not an imaginary goal that we are constantly constantly constantly beating ourselves with a whip to acheive
