Three years back, I created 13 alternate accounts on Discord and inserted them into my friend group over the course of a few months, pretending each of them was a new person. They have their own personality and typing / grammar distinctions, and their own fake life events and stories that I've had to keep meticulous track of. Some of them even engaged romantically with real people, though none in the present day. Nowadays the original friend group is split up, with some fake people being present in about each server that still has some kind of connection to the former group. One active group chat even has six alts and one real person. I literally have to keep this up like a puppetmaster because these pretend people have real, important connections to people I still care about. It's hard but I literally don't know how to resolve or change the situation without causing a wave of dispair and destruction in one way or another.

this is a poem to me

so now the leftist discourse is that malala – yes, malala – is a privileged neolib? i'm so serious guys i'm at my breaking point

like i still remember my history of fine art professor at a little community college in ma being so excited about my low a on her exam that she pulled me into her office early to show me. fuck you guys. every one in that thread apologize to her right now

there is a very stupid post going around about how only scientists know how to Reach The Masses and all humanities people are ivory tower snobs who don't actually want to teach you about art or history or literature and it is making me so mad i could chew glass. but i am being soooooo good and virtuous by not reblogging it and asking everyone in it which fine art major refused to suck their dick in college

It’s gotten to the point where people on the internet bitching about “misandry” are just funny to me like….it’s almost two years to the day they overturned Roe in America folks.

airing my grievances about the progress pride flag ranked from most important to least important

1. disrespectful to gilbert baker’s legacy

2. the stripes represent VALUES not INDIVIDUAL IDENTITIES. it’s straight up vile to assume those values aren’t shared by the entire lgbtq community. oh do black queer people not value sunshine??? nature?????

3. we own the rainbow. why would we cede that. it’s impossible to see any rainbow themed thing that isn’t about pride. rainbows obviously pre-date the entire political movement and we completely co-opted it. that owns

4. i was a rainbow in my preschool play. i mean i was really mad i wasn’t mr. golden sun but they said i couldn’t bc i was a girl. but i was a rainbow!!! in retrospect this entire story is queer coded.

5. the rainbow is the one of the wonders of nature that happens pretty much everywhere. this goes back to 3. we are wonders of nature and we are everywhere!!!!!

6. ugly ugly ugly ugly. brown and black stripes??? chevron design???? i am NOT a brown stripe. bitch

Fascinating to see that Biden going public with the Israeli deal and bringing world leaders together to urge the end of the war has really broken the brains of people who've been pretending to be anti-war for 8 months.

(First screenshot wasn’t taken by me, here’s the source)

So, if you actually want the war to end, why do this? Why get angry that the U.S. president is urging the end of the war, with the help of the G7, Qatar, and Egypt? Why lie and pretend this isn’t an Israeli deal? Why lie and act like Hamas hasn't rejected multiple ceasefire offers?

Because people care about discourse more than human lives. They don’t want Israel to offer a concrete plan to end the war because they’d rather have their internet discourse fueled by the destruction of Gaza, and they want to continue to call for the destruction of Israel, which they feel more people will find justified as long as the war continues. They also don’t want to hold Hamas responsible for continuing this war, because they've posted nothing but terrorist apologia for months.

They don’t want Biden to call for the end of the war, despite what they said during their months of “ceasefire now!” protests, and they don’t want him to take the lead in urging the world to put pressure on Hamas to agree to the deal, because then their “gEnOciDE JoE” rants and anti-voting excuses fall flat.

They’re angry that an end to violence would mean the end of an era in their internet life, where they finally feel important and have the wind beneath their radikewl, ratfucking wings. In summary:

btw once you figure out how cheap and easy it is to make chocolate covered strawberries in your own home you become unstoppably powerful

after too many run ins with 4th floor girl and her giant mutt she cannot control that wants to jam its nose in every one's crotch i have become one of those people who will be openly mean to you if you're loose leashing your dog in the elevator with me
