Ciggy Bringer of Smoke

Trying to get Gen Xers to recall potential disillusionments and moral injuries after them...

And its AIDS and Challenger, but they then go boundless naming Iran Contra to OJ Simpson, and that is so fucking Gen X.

9/11 happened in midst of children who suffered a greater moral injury over basically being wholly instructed on a world that wouldnt exist. And told they had to help fix it in contrary ways to a 82-92 understanding of those instructions. Which priors fought them on entirely.

doing Liberal Cohort Analysis on Bluesky but I think this pretty much sums up the complete thrashing amongst Liberals that use the Democratic Party conduit

One of my coworkers whispered about a sickout and ahem, I am gonna start probing with others who are similarly fed up.

ngl, I have never been at a place with anyone gutsy enough to even mention it besides me so I'm actually kinda itching to do it.

I do have an optimism in my arguments that I dont need to pull anyone to our side, but that theyll wind up with us if they really start looking at their own thing and why its coming up short. Then some of yall do other parts youre good at and care about while Im onto the next 'you cant be happy with being along for the ride like this, right?'

splitting group into even and odd birth years just so we have two softball teams, and the moment i'm in with the odds I lean over and go 'fucking hate those evens, pretty exclusive group we got here, right?'

KNEEEE REAPER, GO ON AND REAP THOSE KNEES

Boomer Liberal Moms are incapable of not liking politicians they like more than their kids, or wish their kids married, and I say this as a bi man, whose own Liberal Mom does this exact inane swoony shit for impressive young politicians, and was astounded I would not date Mayor Pete in any hypothetical but to ruin his career in politics, which she didnt find too funny.

But its a goddamn problem of non conscious engagement with everyone younger than them as some child forever, and they are gleefully 'thats how moms are!' And im like 'dont be one for this one very important thing to you' and theyre like 'so you think we vote with big goo goo eyes for tryhard proxy children' and im like 'you never talk about mamdani like this and Id suck his eyeballs out through his dick' and they dont like that either.

I wish antisocial and asocial people were more ultra about it just so they didn't wasted time with their obvious need to cheat on their premise.

Im not saying you should have a cry trigger so that if you need a cry (which you do if you are becoming absolutely jaded and void), but mine is a song, our wedding song and goddamn was a good choice.

Every. Single. Time.

People are really poor sports about me saying we're 'Addiction Siblings' because they describe their relationship to something in overwrought self flattering tones and I go 'Hey, just like vaping for me!'

Dr. Suessian Strange Erotic Contraption Smut

I want to become a tailor to make wildly inappropriate 'fun scrubs' as a coworker gift, like 'paid to be here' in tiny little 100 grand bars all over, or a really big cantelope for a prostate/bladder specialist.

Flipping motor oil that hasnt been marked up at convenience stores, where you know they have it and nobody buys it there. 6.79 quarter face value going for twice that.

This is profiteering at the lowest silliest level

I kinda sorta get how sleep deprivation torture works now on account of my body refusing to let me sleep. Everything feels worse, everything is darker and painful.

Anyone else's spouse or partner more of an addict than self? Wanna get drinks?

Get your voyeur on!

I have never more understood afropessimism than I do right now, extrapolated to how anyone considers: the least loss, lowest risk, grestest good, negative externality induced theory of change they hold.

We will never be free together before we are all dead, a big cataclysmic whammy happens thar forces it, or we forget failures and extenralities through knowledge loss.

Princess Diares 2 Chris Pine is yuck actually...

Like, unpopular opinion but men arent men until...idk, 42 now

Big night for a couple pals, and look, if there ever an interpartisan conference, send me? I wanna hang with my buds okay?

Got a Kane tattoo, everyone thinks its the quaker oates quaker. This is a disaster.

Kinda pissed I dont feel capable of volunteer firefighting forest fires in dire need. I was never capable, but now I dont ~*feel*~ capable, huge difference.
