Does my money not work if I don't have enough room on my phone for another goddamn app or did scanning a physical piece of paper raze your village to the ground as a child

I was so worried when I showed it to you that you would be like "why would you think I would like this". I'm so glad this happened instead

Last Thursday I found out they were showing this at the Plaza immediately after I had rescheduled something else for the same night, and only my enduring affection for the group with whom I'd rescheduled stopped me from saying "Never mind" and going, so this is outstanding news

How did we just collectively decide after millennials that actually nobody really needed to be able to tell if a source of information was reputable or not

Apropos of nothing but also everything, man, we fucked up pretty profoundly by not adding Internet/media literacy to the k-12 curriculum

I'm going through listings thinking things like "should I get one I don't like that much so I don't get attached?" Not to be a time traveler from the 2010s, but I am a grown woman who pays bills! This is nonsense and I'm annoyed about it

God damn it, I forgot I was going to never tweet again after the Rapture as a bit. Every time there's a rapture I think about doing it and I forget every time

i understand why people are scared. i also feel like reading comprehension is at an all time low
