The hairdresser holds up the mirror so I can see the back of my haircut but she accidentally uses the mirror that reveals how you die. I see my 80-year-old self tumbling down a hill after slacklining for the 1st time. I never know how to react in these situations, so I just mumble "wow I love it"

walking through the park, saw a dog barking at a squirrel. Its owner bent down to admonish it, saying “watch your language!“ listen lady, if your dog sees a squirrel he should be allowed at least one “fuck you.” I think that’s fair

I've invented a new font where every letter is replaced by a 3200x2400 pixel jpeg of a giant tropical centipede. Now to use it to write a letter of resignation to a company I haven't worked at for 8 years

Gf wants me to shave my beard in case I’m hiding a double chin. I WISH I was hiding a double chin. Instead I’m hiding a secret upside-down 2nd face of the twin I absorbed in utero. Which wouldn’t be so bad except the face looks exactly like my gf. And it hates her. I’m afraid it will try to bite her

Me after getting my nails freshly done: my hands are too small. Maybe if I wave them in front of people’s faces Me when my nails are chewed up, dirt road, choppy chippy dusty garbage: You could see my slovenliness from outer space. I need to have my hands surgically removed

my friend: are you going to art's party tonight? seems like you've got a lot going on me: I don't know, i feel like i got to since he's always at mine the medieval peasant i brought to our time on his second bag of guacamole doritos: might we stop for a second "jimmied john" me: sure man i guess

Train was 20+ minutes late and as everyone filed in, the conductor was yelling “no shoving, everyone be nice! Everyone please be nice!” Guess what country I live in

thinking about transmuting my belief in the resiliency of institutions into uncritical hero worship of a specific dude. might sublimate my entire political ideology into the whims of some guy

Working retail can really make you incapable of enjoying sitcoms. I've seen too many canonically broke characters wearing 3 new Anthropologie dresses every week

Character: ugh the closet I rent in a shared basement apartment has cockroaches. Which would be manageable but they've joined with the rats and unionized. Me: Bitch you are wearing a 300 dollar sweater

when I was 15 I met my friend’s mom and I said “wow you look like that lady… the one who got into a screaming fight at the park” because that had been my primary childhood exposure to Caroline Bassette Kennedy. Kelsey’s mom did not realize it was a nice compliment

HER: *puts cherry in mouth and seductively pulls out stem perfectly tied into a knot* ME: *puts hand in box of Bugles and seductively pulls out bugles perfectly balanced on each finger*

on the one hand I feel plagued with terrible writer’s block but on the other hand I think anyone for whom jokes are currently flowing like wine should be treated VERY suspiciously

astounding to me how "make America great again" was referring to fascism and NOT classic refrigerators with lazy susan trays in them. Really missed the point with that slogan.
