Gotta plug my carefully curated Sufjan Stevens halloween playlist over here: open.spotify.com/playlist/1Tz...

Please listen in order and laugh at the cover art. Yes there are 3 Christmas songs on it 🎃💀🧛‍♂️

Screenshot of my Spotify playlist called "spookjan stevens: a sufjan list for halloween" and the description: "if you're uneasy, you're welcome." The album art is an image of Nosferatu where I photoshopped him to be listening to Sufjan's album Carrie & Lowell and crying.

it's like when a pet owner does a silly baby voice while petting their cat/dog but are actually saying insults, like "you're a stinky boy ooh you're in trouble, so bad" and the pet doesn't understand but just loves the attention

journalist elites are the pet in this scenario lol

Though I think in the end this probably distanced myself from other people. I replied plenty, but I never clicked Like on anything. I know getting a Like feels good for a moment. My brain's logic was truly "if I like everything, I can't hit Like on anything"

For like 10-12 years on twitter I literally did not read my For You feed. I only followed people I *wanted to hear from* and so I enjoyed my feed 95% of the time

Most people in our lives think violence is 1) a guy killing another guy, or 2) being mean to a figure who died

To them violence is NOT ice raids, police assaulting protestors, deportations, our legal system, etc etc

People literally don't think war is violence. It's fascinatingly terrifying

people who call themselves political commentators don't know how the institution of journalism works anymore. i feel like it used to be known in general what a newsroom is and how it works
