Would make a perfect punk song!

Amanda Palmer. I’ve always thought she was a narcissistic asshole who uses people like she’s rearranging furniture. And that has turned out to be extremely true.

I really am kind of messy but it’s because I work so much I don’t have time to do anything properly at all. I always feel frantic.

The human centipede of social media.

I especially hate that Reddit sold out so hard, because it really is the only search result worth anything anymore. I quit Instagram and Twitter as well, can’t quite give up Facebook because of my Livejournal friends. Would give my kidney for Livejournal to make a comeback.

Haven’t had it in months and don’t care. It’s different in menopause. I plan to never have it again.

Even if he gave me all his money, I could not bring myself to touch that ugly bug.

If you think you picked a bad partner because there’s something wrong with you because of how you were parented, actually a bad partner sought you out because they saw those vulnerabilities in you.

I’m Canadian.

Thank you for saying this. I genuinely would never not take someone’s cultural practices and religion seriously. I just really like what it symbolizes to me.

Thank you. I just felt a little silly.

My tattoo is very well designed, but it is a lotus flower with the Om symbol in it because at the time I was practicing a lot of yoga, and I didn’t realize it looks kind of… culturally foolish, shall we say, especially now that I live in a city with a lot of South Asian folks, and some have asked me about it, I am white as the driven snow. I did not intend it in any cultural appropriation way and it isn’t offensive or anything, they all seem to like it, but it was a bit thoughtless ultimately.

I think I’ll order it too. You can never have enough poetry.

Oh amazing! Please tell me how the book is too.

I was talking to a new friend who is a nurse yesterday, and she told me she worked in peds a bit last year during a measles outbreak in my city, during which one child died. She said she has never seen sicker children in her life, they were all unvaccinated, and that they all went home having lost so much ground. She says half the parents were just victims of disinformation but that many of them were super obnoxious.

Same! I adore every album. The new song is amazing!

Who here knows what O.o means?

Missouri of all places!

I hadn’t listened to him be interviewed before until yesterday, and I was pleased to hear that he’s quick on his feet and confident and sounds very knowledgeable. My ex said about him that nobody wants a policy wonk for PM, but so far it works.

Excellent point. I agree, it can’t be considered safe. Think of what viruses are going to rip through livestock populations there now.
