At age 21. Think of who you were at 21. Imagine being a threat to the government when most kids are finishing up undergrad and nursing hangovers. 21.

I think one reason people are living so recklessly is that deep down they know this is all the time we have, and it’s secret nihilism playing itself out. Not quite the roaring 20s.

You know how a character can cough blood into a handkerchief and you know instantly shit is bad? Thank TB for that imagery.

A reminder that Hawaii has repeatedly asked us to STOP VISITING, y’all won’t be happy till you’ve selfied the place into the ocean. Let Hawaii heal for one minute?!

We’re visiting Hawaii and masks are the norm. All taxi and uber drivers, 90% of people in shops. Only on the beaches are people unmasked. And outdoor restaurants. We haven’t tried indoor eating. We figure the people here know something we don’t.

Tourism is a major component of the Hawaiian economy. The Hawaiian government has not asked tourists to stop visiting, and in general promotes it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism_i… hawaiitourismauthority.org/media/13742/oc…

Capitalism is a fucking disease that infects, destroys, & rewrites the DNA of everything we love, including childhood... "The camper will get the chance to learn how to be a Chick-fil-A worker by taking orders, delivering orders,... being a hostess" (checkout.square.site/buy/YTYQH73P4O…)

A Black woman on TikTok pointed out how NY’s “creators” ignored the original (and logical) housing paths of native Americans’ parallel to waterways & instead, built the city on top of it all. She mapped out all the areas flooded Friday, yt folks are a trip *heavy ancestral sigh*

Hello! A silencer + straight up ignoring a witness not six feet away? He had one job, and laid in wait, and then broke tf out. Probably already growing his hair out.

A writer friend shared that they’d spent time with Gaiman & Palmer. It was a positive experience (she’s my age). There were flirty mentions of baths but she felt it was more silly than sinister & was able to walk away. This guy is obsessed & clearly has a script.

Seriously. All you have to do is admit you were wrong. And that’s OK. Humans get it wrong all the time! Just mask now. Please.

You guys do NOT want to be chronically ill. It becomes your entire life. I hate this & am not having a good time.

In 2020 I thought we’d have a long-term vaccine for 2-3 major Covid variants by 2025. Masks would be commonplace. What’s actually happening is why my brain feels broken.

I wish I could explain how chronic pain chips away at your personality, your ambition, your mood, every facet of your life. It can feel quite torturous, very Groundhog Day. The symptoms may change but they all suck. And they chip chip chip…
