#which..
random mundane thing of the day: just noticed that most of the artists i've been listening to lately killed themselves (or, in the case of a band, the frontman did). not intentional, but weird coincidence

lol wtf?
The superintendent of my high school just sent my mom a Christmas card. The superintendent who is apparently still in the same role appx. 20 years after I graduated. Who never knew me but knew my mom in passing*.
He sent it to my house, which is the same address I lived at in high school. (Though I no longer live with my mom, so it's not her address.)
He didn't send me, the alum, a card. Nope, it's addressed specifically to my mom. Who, btw, doesn't remember him.
What. The. Fuck. This is.. honestly, laughably ridiculous. As in, funny wtf.
And it has a QR code for a "prayer for Christmas."
Did I mention that literally everyone in my immediate family - me, my parents, my partner - are all gay and/or queer?
Yeah.....
*I was in marching band, and my mom was really involved. She was the go-to for advil, etc. when the school couldn't legally hand out any. As a parent volunteer they "couldn't stop her" (aka, encouraged her so the kids were taken care of without risking the school's liability). She was also in charge of our GIANT PROPS my senior year. These things were so big they took up every second we had spare from our actual performance to set up and take off afterward. Anyway, Dr. D. also showed up to every one of our competitions, no matter how far away they were**. So they were almost certainly passing acquaintances. I think Dr. D. helped get our props off the field once or twice, including during grand championships.
**except the exhibitions we did in HI and FL, which, yknow, exhibitions. Not competitions.

Me, after forgetting to cut the top off an onion before dicing it: “Aw dammit”
The Gordon Ramsey that lives in my head: “Don’t worry there, this mistake isn’t going to ruin anything. No need to be too hard on yourself”
Me: “Wow, that’s…not what I was expecting”
Gordon: “Of course, you ought to know by now that I don’t shout at cooks just to do so. I do it because the people in hit television show Kitchen Nightmares are putting their services out into the public and claim to be good enough to have the title of head chef. You’re just some guy in your twenties making beef stroganoff for yourself and your roommate. I’m kind of a dick, yeah, but I’m not gonna scream at you for a minor mistake like this”
Me: “Oh….well…thanks”
Gordon: “You’re welcome…cunt…”

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

A customer contacted our team with questions, and then finished their email with: "I am daunted by the complexities and unknowns." I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since.

When I was a kid my family pretended to get raptured so I would think I was left behind on earth while they all went to heaven.
I was like 8 years old and my sister and mom had gotten really into the Left Behind novels (bible fan fic about the rapture). In the books when the rapture happened the clothes that people were wearing when they got raptured were left behind in neatly folded piles.
One day when I was getting home from school my family decided that they would leave piles of neatly folded clothes around the house, and then hide in the basement.
The intended effect was that I would get home and see the clothes then, think that my family had been raptured and that I wasn’t good enough to get into heaven… or something?
The problem was that I had never read these books, and didn’t really think about the rapture very often. There was no reason that I would see some laundry on the floor and think “The rapture happened and I’ve been abandoned by God! I’ll never see my family again!! Oh nooo!!!!”
I just sat down and watched cartoons and eventually my family got bored and revealed that they were all hiding in the basement.
It’s a good thing I didn’t understand the joke, otherwise that shit would have been traumatic.

ai generated images make me increasingly sad and tired the more i see them in more and more casual contexts. i dont know how to explain, but it just fills the world with a bunch of nothing. no matter how visually stunning the pictures might be, there's nothing behind it for me. no dedication, no emotions, no feelings, no hard work or creativity, nothing i can truly think about, admire or enjoy. i dont think thats how art is supposed to be
