Diet Coke, please.

i dont know exactly how to articulate this in a way other people havent but everything is too fast now. 24/7 news cycle, online focuses that last for hours instead of months or years, songs written just so ten seconds can go viral. movies and books churned out to meet some nebulous income quota. idk. im motion sick

you know when you watch an older movie and its actually edited well. like the shots are long and the cuts are spaced and you can actually breathe....yeah

I remember when commonly-used slang used to be measured in anywhere from years to decades rather than weeks.

So they agree, commuting hours are work hours

If anybody’s employer starts talking like this make them pay you for your commute lol

“alright then, by my calculations you owe me in commute back pay about--”

“wait wait wait”

the kitchen is for high drama and the couch is for soft but fraught conversations and emotional closure and the doorway is for comedy

hey I'm gonna fix all discourse real quick, watch this

1) mind your own fucking business

2) take care of your own mental health first before attempting to dictate to others how to care for theirs

3) nothing about the human experience is binary, any attempts to simplify existence down into two categories of good or bad/right or wrong will fail because there will always, ALWAYS be someone or something that cannot be categorized. Doing this to human beings is oppressive.

4) what nourishes the lily drowns the cactus. your wounds heal differently than others. respect that other people know their needs better than you do, and stop trying to change peoples needs when they don't suit yours.

You'll probably piss some people off when you start putting your own peace above their feelings. Do it anyway.

The Senate voted unanimously to make Juneteenth a national holiday.

That means EVERY republican senator voted to make Juneteenth a national holiday. NONE of them objected. That includes the most racist of them. So that shows you what an empty gesture it is, because the likes of Mitch McConnell and Ted Cruz were like "*shrug* why not?"

They're trying to wipe Critical Race Theory and the 1619 Project clean from the curriculum and go back to pretending slavery never happened or wasn't "that bad" and of course go back to pretending racism is over and denying systemic racism exists. That is the current news wave. That is trending, pressing, news.

And in the midst of that they go "sure, let's make the day that literally marks the end of slavery a day of recognition" because it doesn't mean shit.

Now, Juneteenth should be a national holiday and this would be great news if it came with approval of Critical Race Theory and MAYBE if they also passed the goddamn Voting Rights Act and stopped implementing Jim Crow era-type suppressive voting laws in a different state every month.

There's no action behind it. It's empty. It's useless.

Banishment is the funniest punishment I can think of. Just get out of here
