Years and years of the wrong kind of wonderland really screws up a gal who just wanted to read.

Go ask Ava.

I’ve listened to so much music today that my eyes sting.

That’s almost the right amount.

The pope and your local priest weren’t chosen by god either.

There isn’t one.

I’ll give $5 to the first five people who attend a protest with a sign that says:

“Looks like you MAGA wrong turn at Albuquerque.”

Currently listening to Black Sabbath’s Paranoid because I don’t have anyone to talk to.

I can’t play “Wait, whose fingers are those?” by myself.

“What is a woman?”

Well, my name is Ava and I’m pretty sure the answer to that question can be found by being a fuckin’ man about the conflict in your head, and not a little pissant.

Scissors cut paper…

Paper covers rock…

Rock reverts name to Dwayne.

Paper covers Dwayne’s career for decades.

Sometimes I feel like a nirvanist monk without a temple to dance in, when the friar isn’t looking.

Why should we be sane in a world that’s profoundly unwell, and having to use coping mechanisms all the bloody time, when nobody’s needs are being fully met every single day?

You want to get nuts?

Let’s get nuts.

I think pork is bad for your health, but free range ethical porn isn’t.

If this song doesn’t make you laugh at yourself, you probably think Pride & Prejudice is a love story.

Throwback to the dad in the next row down at a Panic! At the Disco show, in 2006, who clearly didn’t mean to bring his daughter’s whole sleepover to watch Brendan Urie makeout with contortionists.

We shouted “Whoooooo”

He muttered to himself “My wife is gonna kill me!”

Probably, dude. Oops 🤷‍♀️

Sometimes a little bit of give from a person with means is enough to turn an entire generation around.

We've overpaid for everything.

Get your change, leave a penny for the next poor dope who just wants to call home.

(Tom Waits is my guardian angel. Lucky for all of us, he’s real.)

The GOP is proof that the Hair Club for Men is full of No-Fappers.

My life goal is to keep shouting obscenities at the aristocracy until one of them accidentally pays me for it.

I think Michelle is a more emotionally intelligent person than Barack is.

She’s reading into shit that isn’t there, but she’s more emotionally intelligent as well. lol.

If this is triggering, don’t listen, BUT my dead self feels seen by this song.

That’s a lot deeper than most people are willing to into their own psyche but I’ve done too many mushrooms to be afraid of myself. lol.

I used to have heroes.

I used to have goals.

All of them changed. Or died.

Now I just want to be as stark raving bonkers and vulgar as Miriam Margolyes is, for Graham Norton’s sake.

This is my new response to every question, challenge, individual, or comment that comes my way.

Don’t be an Eleanor Shellstrop about nose boops.

Sometime a nose boop, isn’t just a nose boop.
