Oh dear. What I thought was a simple question - 'what is this WPlace?' has hurtled me back into my lifelong battle with existential dread (That said, I do have quite a few politicians to grief). #WPlace #thevoid #existentialdread
A large dark-purple irregularly-shaped blotch in roughly the shape of the Canadian province of Quebec is superimposed over map with in light green. Text above it reads 'Message regarding the Void' with a blue 'click' button beneath. Under the button is a green check next to the sentence "Griefing political party flags or portraits of politicians is allowed"

Official proposal for new word: Shitballing (n): when you are already having a bad/difficult/trying day and you decide that it is already 'ruined', so you choose to pile all of the worst, most tedious, least rewarding tasks into it so as to 'free up better time later'. Not recommended by experts.

Considering the millions of foil helmets that RFK Jr's policies will almost certainly require (in lieu of actual vaccines, medications, etc), maybe Tr*mp's tarriffs will actually benefit the US metal industry...

More gems from the archive
A beige building with the words ‘academic work’ in embossed green letters with a pipe running down the right hand side and black wires crossing above and below. A white horizontal rectangle with a series of images of beds. Above it reads ‘searching for mass extinction events?’

While deleting my Xitter archive, I found this bizarre ad from the Ontario government c. 2017 that seems, strangely, more relevant than ever. #mysteriousads #savetheeverything #fightfascism
A white sign with black text reading ‘we all need to take action to save the everything’, with ‘save the everything’ in bold. there are green lines on the bottom, and on the right a trillium logo and the words ‘paid for by the Government of Ontario’.
