I've only read snippets of lyrics from that Lily Allen album but I find it disheartening to see all these critic types coming at her for not being some sort of spokeswoman for all nonmonogamous women. She was clearly pressured into it by her ex, and I'm not sure why that can't just be.

Brain woke me up thunderously at 5am this morning with anxious thoughts about a friend who stole from me and who I haven't spoken to or seen in nearly 20 years. Then, more dread-filled thoughts about the smear campaign of lies she spread about me to cover her tracks. 20 years ago. Why am I like this

I've been creeped out by IVF since it came into the limelight and have very strong feelings about it that I usually keep to myself. This is a real ad.

Just thinking about the time an old BF and I had a fight and took a break and I looked at his Spotify the next day and he had made a playlist for a new chick and it was the same playlist he had sent me when we first started dating, just with a new title. The blessing/curse of technology.

I was never on Twitter and when Bluesky became a thing I discovered that I love this style of social network, especially the list capabilities etc. for all my nerdery and research. I love that so many smart and insightful people are here on bsky, but it's feeling like a ghost town to me, so I

Wouldn't be surprised if the chronically-online reply dictators on here started pinning announcements that all commenters must to do x, y, and z or their comments will be deleted and they will be blocked and cast off into hell or some such.
Maybe they already do, I probably have them muted.

Totally missed this. What a nightmare and violation of customer trust. I'm no fridge baller but I've been a die-hard Samsung customer for years and also used to work for them but this makes me sick to my stomach. This gives me pause on ever resuming the smartphone life.

Cannot believe linktree style bio sites are still a thing for people and businesses who are selling or promoting stuff online. Endless streams of homogeneous links, no organization, no branding, no direction. Sends me packing.

One of South Africa’s first Black freelance photographers.
He never took a photo from far away. He's always within the story, both in South Africa and in America.
" I want to feel you, want to see you, and I want you to see me.”
He was a very humanistic artist.

Top 5 movie genres are:
Dysfunctional adult family members stuck together.
Everything is blue, can't watch during daylight.
Tension relief is unexpected dancing at inappropriate time.
Entire movie is car trip.
Mostly people looking at each other.

Top 5 movie genres are:
People being shits at a dinner party
Rotting mansion, faded starlet/society beauty, high-camp fuckdown
Either nothing or everything happened, glacially slowly & visually stunningly
Woman is being haunted or maybe there’s actually a gross guy
Tilda Swinton hears a weird noise

Top 5 movie genres are:
Breathtakingly beautiful magic realism that represents grief
Buncha fuckin losers decide to become a family instead of going to therapy
Yikes a ghost! Oh it's just sad.
Bright colours, singing, dancing, gay subtext/text

I googled something pretty niche today, and the AI summary which I have a habit of reading quoted ME from a Reddit post I made on my throwaway account recently. It was like, "One Reddit user even said ____ and ____" but I could tell it was about me because of how specific and weird it was. Bizarre.

Really don't know why I keep posting on here. It's pretty much an online journal at this point. I expect no response to anything. An abyss.

One of my pet theories that I have not yet researched is that a high percentage of ADHD people are drawn to yoga and similar movement practices, Or maybe just crazy people in general but I do think that it can be a from of relief for the non-stop ADHD brain. (I'm both ADHD and generally crazy)
