1/? people don't care for x fileses anymore so let me tell you what was an x file. it was a mulder would come to class and say I have an idea on aliens, what do you suppose my idea for aliens is today? and he would tell it, they would allow that, as he was liked in some quarters

War. War never changes

@larbdevi I liked it begrudgingly at first but ever since the goats bit it’s had that horrible “the good place” miasma about it. only getting worse for all I know they hired some of that show’s writers & that’s why. I can’t be bothered to know, only to complain

Can't wait til my child goes to sleep so I can watch the most recent one and just feel. So. Angry. About how bad this show is lol

Omg I'm trying to watch Severance and I hate the dialogue. Why is it in Bearese

it’s been a week and I want to think the best of you all, you have no idea how I want to, but not one of you has even tried to rid me of this meddlesome creep. did you think I didn’t mean it?? come to the garbage place already it sucks but so does everything

I stop here to read this & that now & then, by & by. but I mostly stay there for my saying-stupid-bullshit needs I don’t like it!!! come keep me company if you haven’t already or, you know, speed a bullet on its way to where it best belongs either is good

bluesky is a garbage place for stupid people, it hasn’t gotten better over the past year & it makes me glum to say that there I went & there I feel bound to stay until EM dies. but facts is facts hurry up & kill him wont you, I long to come back queenofbithynia.bsky.social until then

david lynch I love you goodbye but I love you

@bdmcclay lol I just wrote some of these exact words (“please do not mistake this for” etc.) I do not think she is a good person & may well be prosecutable in some capacity. but regarding evil there is such a thing as a sense of proportion I don’t have it but I know it when I don’t see it

and she did it all in the first five pages! you get a whole book afterwards, no extra charge

I love My year of rest & relaxation, I have recommended it with abandon & will defend it with passion, but the central conceit is nothing to the time dido twite slept 10 months through, sleep-fed only on whale-oil & molasses, and came out of it six inches taller & fit as a fiddle

best oscar wilde branded product I became aware of today was the oscar wilde aesthetic bosom enhancing cream of 1880-something. don’t know if it was meant to give you a bosom like oscar’s or a bosom oscar would appreciate. either seems improbable

even the best contemporaries are slaves to time. that’s why I don’t respect them not mine not yours not oscar wilde’s. he didn’t write this of course. but still

got some piano business to catalogue at last an auspicious sign for the new year contemporary reviewers called it “trash” which I guess it is if you don’t like bing bong two-four stomp music. no accounting for taste

merry christmas she sat up all night to keep santa claus from stealing the piano & it worked, he didn’t dare

she’s ready

christmas eve stretches

ordinarily I would look well away from such a man as this one, too, but I was so pleased at him for playing against type in walking on his own two feet & not driving a horrible set of metal angles around town like his truckbrethren that I smiled upon him

I also walked by a guy complaining loudly angrily & at length about his child support payments, to his very beautiful husky dog. the dog was paying fond attention

oh my GOD they’re real I looked through the lens over my own shoulder bc I was afraid to meet its self-driving eyes. they go mad with rage when you do that sometimes you know two merry schoolchildren showered it with cybertaunts from across the street. they were not afraid

“the writer would fall into a trance state…whenever he tried to read what he had written he would feel dizzy” this is my own technique for book cataloguing. success depends on the attendance of the spirits, but when it works it works well except for the headaches

they don’t write blurbs like this anymore, they just don’t
