I know, I will listen to some of the Hook soundtrack. That's John Williams and nothing will cheer me up more than thinking about Rob, right?

* puts on a John Wlliams soundtrack to finish it up *

when I was 10 which admittedly was a pretty terrible time I thought maybe I'd grow up to become a paleontologist or maybe an artist or a vet and maybe I'd get to see different countries and I trained myself to do the 40' underwater without surfacing requirement to get dive certified and now it's DECADES later and the world is dying and I'm THIS

fuuuuuuuck

Didn’t sleep well. I feel bad now; at 0400 I was close to tears about being unable to sleep.

rattle BIG BLACK BONES
in the DANGER ZONE
there's a RUMBLING GROAN
down below
there's a BIG DARK TOWN
it's a PLACE I'VE FOUND
it's a world going on UNDERGROUND
they're alive! they're awake!
while the rest of the world is asleep!
below the mineshaft holes it will all unfold, there's a world going on UNDERGROUND

there's a hole and a ladder
a fence we can climb
mad as a hatter
you're thin as a dime
go out that meadow
the hills are a-green
sing me a rainbow
steal me a dream

small town Napoleons shattered his knees
but he stays in the saddle for Rose
and all his disciples they shave in the gutter
and they gather what's left of his clothes

Based on the cutesy etymology of “eepy,” I can confidently say I’m eepy, ‘nkshus, and have ‘sistential despresso.

Which Barbie are YOU Quiz? No wait… those aren’t Barbies they’re tribes of Garou!

#drawings today, a star spawn of Cthulhu chases a truck somewhere in New England, and two human adventurers, a paladin and a wizard. CW eye contact.

Which Garou Barbie are you? Are you Glass Walker Ragabash Barbie, relying on agility and quick reflexes to guide you through the night streets, are you Fianna Galliard Barbie,filling the night with sad howls of long gone heroes and tragedies? Or will you be Pissed Off Barbie Fury, bringing the fight straight to Gaia's foes? And a question hangs heavy in the air, WHEN WILL YOU RAGE?

Thinking about the only New Englanders I know describing Lovecraftian New England instead of Lovecraft.

“Oh it’s some sort of wicked strange tourist trap over by the Manuxet River. It’s so small there’s only one Dunkin’s in town. I used to live about five miles away which means you can get there in 2 hours if you’re not dumb enough to try it at rush hour.”

see the counterpart to popular “banger” posts on social media are starchy, bland but satisfyingly filling posts, “mash” if you will

I’m thinking here about Musk, with whom I have less in common than with my abusers, most neo-Nazis, my landlords, or Christian clergy. In contrast to Bob Iger who doesn’t seem to have entirely connected his vast wealth to someone else making it possible. And about the brief moment in 2020 when Trump was a fat old man who didn’t want to die, rather than some completely alien disease which should have been eradicated in the 80s.

For me to utterly hate someone they need to have a smug sense of superiority to me, enough that doing as they please is its own justification regardless of how many people it hurts, they need to be beyond ever facing accountability like a 16 year old redditor saying any slur he wants b/c it’s officially a joke, and they need to be so remote from me and my experience that I literally can’t see anything sympathetic in them as humans.

And by definition this is only true of the horrifyingly rich.

An uncomfortable thing I’ve been realizing lately is idealizing where I was in the 90s is natural; the combination of life without obvious Republican control, obvious social crises, and unending poverty would be unrepeatable, even without adding in my age or Ann Arbor at the time. No matter how sane, skilled or loved I am, in what little time I have left, external circumstances are never going to be that good again, and I have to accept that.

lest you were wondering, I would love it if McConnell retired and relieved the USA of his odious presence

and I'd love it if Feinstein fucking retired the way she should have 10+ years ago

it's possible to want to not be misgoverned by decrepit senior citizens beyond party affiliation

Minnie The Moocher https://youtu.be/_sSE0_RKhCI via @YouTube

why that's an outrage. For $2.00 you can get a record of Minnie the Moocher. For $2.75 you can get Minnie.

oh crap I listened to too much popular music from the 20s/30s and now REALLY want to play Elder Sign, Arkham Horror or Call of Cthulhu

with a long white beard and a crooked staff
he walks around while the folks all laugh
AND PRAY YOU NEVER MEET HIM IN ANY OF HIS OTHER THOUSAND FORMS

doing the Squash and Stretch, the Anticipation, and other popular dance moves of the 1920s
