IF you are gonna follow me here...

Social media should be SOCIAL.

If this is nothing more than an egotistical marketing study, go fuck yourself. (Try for eight fingers, go on.)

I'm fed up playing nice with the world.

My tongue lives in my cheek.

Pronouns, trans lives & black lives matter.

It's been 20 minutes since the episode, and I'm still giggling about a 70-something woman's fart

Like, didn't she have her 15 minutes about 15 years ago?

Ken Mooney @kenmooney.bsky.social · 10h

Oh, Spotify.

Why do you seem so obsessed with thinking I'd like Kat Von D?

WHY!?!?!?!?

(I don't. No matter WHAT I hear.)

All I can see on this week's Dragula is Evah's jockstrap.

And then the mask.

I am ALL over this

Also, I REALLY want to go to Neotropolis (which I've never heard of.)

Ken Mooney @kenmooney.bsky.social · 2d

Physical contact, though?

Ewww

Doing my catch-up on Wednesday's comics.

The X-books are serving some REALLLLLllllllllLLLLLLLllly good stuff for me right now, and surprised and annoyed at how angry I was at one of the deaths in Amazing X-Men. #comics

So happy to see someone else say similar (weird, I know.) hate the idea of not voting, but all three candidates this year did little to impress me, and the more and more I'm seeing from the two/three of them, the more I think they're not for me.

I remember talking to a peep once (and this is years ago) who genuinely had such a bad map/geography education and knowledge that they had it in their heads that every English-speaking country in the world were just US states that hadn't been recognised as such yet.

It...was weird.

Ken Mooney @kenmooney.bsky.social · 5d

Does speak volumes though that, even whomever built the bot/AI (whatever phrasing you want to use) also didn't think that maybe, just maybe, there were other countries and thoughts out in the world.

Ken Mooney @kenmooney.bsky.social · 5d

The head is a bit all over the place today because of that, and certainly not helped that today is also World Mental Health Day.

THIS IS NOT A BAD THING, I'm just...in a really aware place of where my head is. (It's a weird place.)

Today, eleven years ago, finished off radiotherapy on my lovable (shit) of a brain.

Still feels uncomfortably like yesterday; the sunburn-type vibes on my skull, the nausea (oh god, the nausea) and the claustrophobia (oh god, the claustrophobia.)

Ken Mooney @kenmooney.bsky.social · 5d

Hah, I thought same myself. The reply looked like a LOT of babbling text (meaning nothing) and when I looked at the profile, seemed to be similar elsewhere too.

Ken Mooney @kenmooney.bsky.social · 5d

I hate saying/thinking like that and yet....

I'm just prepared to shrug and go "so no matter what, we've an older woman who has worked as a TD and promised a LOT of things, but can't even remember them."

And yeah...not vote at all because of it.

Ken Mooney @kenmooney.bsky.social · 5d

Ah, just like the olden days wherein you make a post about something even vaguely political and you get a lengthy ranty reply about US politics, because the poster assumes that everyone is in their country.

Part of the problem, yo.

Ken Mooney @kenmooney.bsky.social · 6d

Dude, I'm still trying to catch up on LAST week's books, gimme a chance!!!

Ken Mooney @kenmooney.bsky.social · 6d

Fucking hell, neither of these presidential candidates are good enough to get my vote, FFS.

Ken Mooney @kenmooney.bsky.social · 8d

New Dragula.

Yay.

YAYYYYYYY BITCHES!!!!!!!!! (Middle of the episode now, shush. I SAID SHUSH!)

Ken Mooney @kenmooney.bsky.social · 9d

Oh, he is burly!

I think it's the face/hair are all very "boyish" or "still in college" type...vibes. Possibly also cos he's so...dumb a character.

Ken Mooney @kenmooney.bsky.social · 9d

Not like I was going to vote for Jim anyway, but *pauses and takes a deep breath*

WHO THE ABSOLUTE FUCK DECIDED TO PUT THAT MESS FORWARD FOR PRESIDENT?!?!

Everything that's fucking wrong with this country, wrapped into one microcosm

Ken Mooney @kenmooney.bsky.social · 9d

No, it's an alternative universe dammit!!!

If you're up-to-date, there's a fancy house in it and when watching the other day was thinking it was Oliver's house in (early) Arrow, so...yeah.

As for Vigilante, bit TOO twinky, but I DO NOT DISAGREE COS OMG!!!

Ken Mooney @kenmooney.bsky.social · 14d

Ken Mooney @kenmooney.bsky.social · 15d

Based on my own personal experience...
