SHORT:

The lord Gwyneth and the lord Trumpeth away…

MEDIUM:

Not gunna lie, I don’t have a lot for you all this week. I spent all of yesterday reading about how we’re an ocular-centric society and rank vision over other senses and how it’s a very Western stupid phenomenon (and how climate change has none of the clear signals that we need to mobilize our inbuilt sense of threat so we have to activate it in a fabricated way but can’t freak people out too much otherwise they’ll shut down).

Then I thought about how the only Jewish monster in Monster’s Inc has 1 eye while the rest have 2… also he has zero nose… (←proof that the Jews don’t run the media! Also if Jews did run the media, there would be a lot more Barbra-Streisand-lookin’ news correspondents).

By the way, don’t worry, re: climate change, we aren’t victims tied to the tracks with a train barreling toward us. We can decrease emissions and slow the train down. The more mitigation we do, the less adaptation will be required, and the less suffering there will be. But we need to get people to be obsessed with climate change the way they’re obsessed with god and other things that don’t constantly and visibly appear in tangible form on a day-to-day basis. This is all from this book. Not sponsored. But if anyone wants to reach out…

LONG:

Unfortunately, instead of finding ways to slow down the climate train, I spend my days staring at old people on the street and wondering how they’re still alive.

Earlier today, I saw an old woman on the street with her mouth hanging open as she walked. I think it’s powerful that old people leave their mouths hanging open as they move about town. No need to spend unnecessary energy activating the jaw. When I get old, all my holes are gunna be wide open.

At the same time, I couldn’t help but think about what it would be like to throw something up in the air and have it land in her mouth. Like a cracker or nut. Don’t know what came over me… all of a sudden I felt like an NBA player that needed to make a 3-pointer. It’s interesting that I write about the inside of my asshole on here all the time (and feel nothing), but when I write about wanting to throw something in an old person’s mouth, I’m worried I’m gonna get canceled. Guess I’ll investigate that in therapy.

Everyone’s back yammering about trans people in bathrooms. It’s interesting that politicians are using trans shit as a distraction from their actual failures cuz… same.

The bathroom stuff is obviously stupid and exhausting. Everyone knows the most dangerous thing in a women’s bathroom is when there’s no trash can and you have a tampon that needs to be disposed of. Or when you’re trying to leave and there’s a drunk girl who “loves your haircut” and wants to tell you about her gay friend. Or… an old woman with a wide open mouth!

I actually do pose a danger in the men’s bathroom tho… men are gunna see my gorgeous figure and get soooo jealous.

Okay I gotta get back to googling things like “human motivation” and how we get ourselves to do anything. Apparently we have 16 basic desires: power, independence, curiosity, acceptance, order, saving, honor, idealism, social contact, family, vengeance, romance, eating, physical activity, and tranquillity. Which one do you value the most?

Here’s a George Santos video that made me laugh
