check out my media book project "Rooster King" here:
It features seven personal stories leading up to when my life fell apart: it could be fairly described as a zine, album, multimedia collage, or maybe just a throwback to when websites were interesting
these stupid fucking prism glasses have honestly changed my life forever I don't have to look down at my phone or books anymore and my posture is getting better
i listened to a podcast where they zapped some lady's brain to temporarily get rid of her autism and allow her to perceive social reality. she wasn't cured but she learned that the kids that bullied her werent being cruel for no reason but, rather, to bond with each other
listening to "man's search for meaning" which is an account of life in a concentration camp from a psychiatrist
he ~says it's pointless to ask life's meaning; that is a question life is asking of you, and the answer is not to be found in contemplation but in right action
why does twitter constantly show me tweets for a split second and then suddenly refresh and they're gone.
(I know you all already know about this I'm just posting this in response to reading the twitter employee letter where they demand to keep their jobs lol)
if I actually engage with all of this gay meditation crap will it actually make me stop feeling like such a loser or is it just a waste of time
my vague impression is that the solutions it offers are either "soft-lobotomy" or "on-tap jhanagooning"
my hot take is that manspaining actually is a real dominance phenomenon that's distinct from plain deep-dive explanations, and that it is very annoying and people are right to complain about it lmao
when I was a child my father made an app that was a grid of buttons with all of the letters and when you clicked one his voice said the letter's sound. I saw and used it for like at most 30–40 seconds but I instantaneously understood the gist of reading lol
like imagine what it must have been like for me to post a picture from that angle: I needed to do it because I love you and I needed to demonstrate the power
ADHD people: any strats to focus without meds? this is not a moral stand against em I just hate all of the rigamarole with doctors, pharmacies, spending money etc
dude we were just like, totally chill internet microcelebrities vibing on a ketamine/ghb/bath salts combo stack in a cuddle puddle, and some guy—who's *not even on twitter*—just came right up and tried to talk to us???
I wrote an essay about an extremely interesting theory of the obesity epidemic that I came across. Read a history of fad diets, how croissants can help you lose weight, and details about squirrel hibernation and mania you never knew you needed to know:
one time i met some tpot people in nyc and i mentioned that stanley kubrick's movies are boring and they were so offended by that that they literally stopped talking to me for the rest of the night lmao
dates are unimaginably delicious. I thought they were trash because people use them in baking instead of sugar but on their own they are almost bizarrely good. I didn't realize a fruit could be creamy?
once I was at a friend's house and his younger sister was having a dark night of the soul re: not wanting to eat broccoli, and I said "have you tried it with butter and salt on it?" and that really just turned it around for her
convinced the same could have worked here
there's a shockingly high proportion of people in tpot who have left cults, and it makes sense that they're generally suspicious of ideologies or frames that they perceive as totalizing
@shaggysurvives
I think the idea isn't that the movies are about those philosophies, it's that if you misunderstand those philosophies and apply them in a stupid way then you end up like the characters in those movies.
@AskYatharth
its essentially the same thing as the einstein/monroe image where the high frequency details say einstein and the low frequency details say monroe, but made with AI tools.
this is also how the mona lisa smile works: the high frequency = not smiling, low frequency = smiling
twitter is like how when you grow rat neurons in a pitri dish and cut them off from external stimulus they just start all pulsing together in unison. goon! goon! dolls! dolls!
anyway my teeth are rotting in my skull because i cant bring myself to pay hundreds of dollars for someone to belittle me and make me endure torture for an hour
I just want you all to know that I've been harboring a devastating hot take that could burn down the delicate scaffolding of our very society for almost a full year. Each day my spirit grows weaker.
after the dating doc nyt article dropped I got a long email from someone that said "I love kids and would love to raise adopted children but if you are looking to IMPREGNATE somebody then I am categorically uninterested" like I am some kind of alien laying eggs or something lol
@FlavoredCurry
I really hate that everyone is able to tell apparently, because I've been wearing cheap as fuck shirts thinking that I'm getting away with something lmao
Like my youngest sibling trying to explain some tedious math concept to me that i clearly dont care about due to autism is distinct from my landlord trying to explain to me how best to cook pasta, because the latter is trying to show that he's better than me and also neg me
how do I start lifting? is that something I want to do? if I was a
huge and muscular bodybuilder would normal people like me more or would it be all weird perverts? would you think I was cool if I could crush a watermelon with my grip strength? let me know in the comments below
honestly the best part about clown school that I don't talk about as much was the like jedi psychic training where you're blindfolded and they throw a foam brick somewhere in the room and then you have to walk to it

trying out IFS, communicating with some part of myself that feels sad about not being able to try psychedelics. i visualized a hurt child and hugged it, but then... decided to drop kick it off of the side of a cliff. ive been laughing for >10 minutes is this healthy please advise
a spaceship that reads 30k physical tarot cards per second, and using a 25ms window into the future makes decisions that produce low probability quantum states that produce propulsion

tweets telling people about a dogshit idea i had just before falling asleep: 25,000 views

“I’ll never forget the day Marilyn and I were walking around New York City, just having a stroll on a nice day. She loved New York because no one bothered her there like they did in Hollywood, she could put on her plain-Jane clothes and no one would notice her. She loved that.
my sleep study came back and the lady on the answering machine used the term "quite severe" 🥴
will CPAP make me able to participate in the matters of men
i feel like avril lavigne was the first thing i liked that i refused to allow cool older boys to ruin for me. "she's a fake punk, she's a poser" listen, please, i dont give a fuck about these things i just want to be gay in peace
My new essay: "Iron Lotus"
Exploring how rigid constraints shape us; Bonzai Kittens, Wilhelm Reich's Character Structures, the rise and fall of the American posture, and the machine that makes the shoes that we wear.
Check it out:
I have endless understanding and patience for people who believe in crystal healing. Like it probably does not do anything, but it literally just seems like it should. Just look at crystals and tell me with a straight face that theres no chance they have healing powers
so anyway if you guys felt any sort of weird shift starting in february it was probably because when i was taking an online clowning workshop they asked me to don all 6 of my masks at once and then i used my combined powers to rotate the universe 90 degrees for some reason.

@eigenrobot
I think it's just because people have tech and then use their imaginations to figure out how it could apply to agriculture rather than starting with a real problem that the farms have
what I actually want moreso than a job is to assemble a crew like some sort of heist movie, or like a punk band that sleeps in the back of a van and makes software
honestly the funniest subplot of my essays is how I'm constantly like "as americans in america, we feel that..." even though I didn't grow up there, am not currently there, and generously have only spent like maybe 1/5 of my life there
i decided to learn more about the version of math where you can divide by 0 (because dont tell me what to do bitch) and apparently the number line loops around and both infinities become "the nullity". i love it because every number that touched the nullity in any way is absorbed
savory plants are vegetables and sweet plants are fruits. the words vegetable and fruit belong to the human sensorial world, and your attempts to wrench them from the folk taxonomy they were built on is an insidious crime.
