hot tip: read books about sad, lonely immortals to feel lonelier and sadder
why do humans love rectangles
it's 3am and I'm hanging out, I've have had a great night reading and gardening and playing with my dog and enjoying drunk people outside, and I just love late nights so much :'-)
In my head just now I referred to my phone battery dying as "declaring bankruptcy"
I'm rubbing my shaved head against-the-grain on my arm chair and it feels like the most dramatic battle going on between my head and this chair rn
today I gestured wildly and water FLEW out of my cup
...just like i do every day
@milo holy shit immediately after posting this my ipad decided it was appropriate to voice-narrate the whole toot and it was kind of brutal
Tonight I realize that i’m filled with self-hatred over my own lack of excellence and my seeming inability to attain it!
Thing is, my definition of excellence is really attainable, and the self-hatred and meaningless reassuring words I tell myself (e.i. “I’m doing my best!” “Better every day”) is the primary thing holding me back.
Here’s to accepting mediocrity 🍷
Hey guys, so... i’ve been talking to a cute girl online and we’re going on a date tomorrow 😳 Show more
I had a marvelous friday night watching Tekkonkinkreet with my best friends (some of who had never seen it!!!) 😍
@exo We all know that the aesthetic origins of vaporwave are based on 80s pop art/Memphis group, but the ideology of the vaporwave collage is nothing new either. In fact, during the late 80s--the era of which the internet vaporwave community nostalgizes/abstracts as a "[transformative] production and dissemination of art" (Lovejoy, 23-25)--Warda Geismar abstracted her own postmodern technological surroundings in what would be one of the earliest works of proto-vaporwave collage, "Untitled" ('88)
At this point i’m 100% convinced that American football is performance art and should be treated as such by the arts community
I’ve been very into Old Internet Tech lately. RSS is fuckin great. Email is awesome. Give me a good old message board any day. TEXTING: Did you know you can still make and use a twitter account with full functionality from a dumb phone? Texting is great!! This old stuff is indestructible and I LOVE IT
My dog has peed on my bed so many times i’ve learned to change the sheets without even removing the blanket
Good news, I've just measured my tomato plant and it is 64 inches tall, the same height as me. How has this happened??? #gardening
HEY what is up
Wow, when you hear "the paperclip game" you'd never expect it to be a simulation of the destruction of the universe
My favorite thing is when my boss asks me if I can talk and I respond "yes" immediately, and then he doesn't respond for 20 min
I was away for a while bc of dramatic work changes (which has honestly been every month or two since graduating college LMAO) but I am now successfully freelancing full time and things are good and I'm my boss and my aptmt is my office and I'm back.
Hello god it's me, Tariq.
Are you there?
...
Ohhh good, all clear up there? How're things? Good I hope. Thanks, I'm doing okay, mostly.
Actually to be truthful, there is one thing, right now.
Yes god, it's that time again.
I would like to lodge a complaint.
