“my friends secretly don’t like me” is the exact same anxiety as “maybe I’m bad at sex” except you might actually be bad at sex

I want simply what all posters have wanted since time immemorial: to whine so bitterly the lord almighty himself comes down in a cloud to scare the crap out of me and tell me to knock it off but then also he certifies to everyone that I am blameless and gives me six thousand camels

the used bookstore shelving a copy of "Defining Autism" directly in-between "Ship Models: How to Build Them" and "The Ultimate Guide to Hawaiian Reef Fishes" is an incredible bit

the new Phoebe Bridgers album is a bummer; just consciously swerving into more juvenile subject matter, shallow sanitized imagery, and personal easter eggs designed for engagement on the most vapid corners of the internet I get I'm not the target but the songwriting is bad and the pandering is lame

Last night I dreamt the following tweets: [1] a post from a movie news account announcing a new Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes sequel with the logline "Robert Downey Jr returns as the famed detective; though the power of hypnosis Holmes and Watson share a brain."

[2] the top reply which claimed principal photography had wrapped in New Jersey and it was "really good" which the poster knew because his buddy had provided italian catering for the whole production, he then assured everyone the movie was made "100% by paisans for paisans"

[3] a followup to his own reply where the poster reminisced about a buddy who wasnt here to see this sequel before urging men that "even wild horses" need to get serious about their health and have things checked out when they don't feel right accompanying this post was a photo of running stallions

I couldn't think of the last time Ive seen shoes hanging in telephone lines and now I'm worried I've grown soft and bougie but I've always been soft and bougie so what's changed? is this a downstream effect of sneaker culture?

since the first of the month the apartment parking lot across the street from me now houses *two* sunshine orange subaru crosstreks tough beat for the original owner; like if a second ukulele kid showed up in class at the start of junior year

I suspect they may go to the Phoenix office but inshallah I will never return

I'm just going to have to keep this set of mystery keys that lives in my backpack until I die?

the man in the hotel room next to me is attempting the 'Wasn't Me' defense while his ¿ex? wife just keeps repeating "You were sucking on her titties! You had her whole nipple in your mouth!"

I can imagine it so vividly --they'd do it up tempo; I can hear the singer shouting "When I was in third Grade I thought I was Gay"; I know just where the bagpipes would kick in

the hymn In The Bleak Midwinter was stuck in my head today and I knew it was time to pull this out 10/10

that chapter of moby dick extolling the overwhelming purity of the light cast when burning spermaceti oil except it's about the four cups of tomatoe sauce I just made exclusively of home grown sunburst cherry tomatoes and then immediately froze to be pulled out in the darkness days of winter

me casually asking this friend "have you heard that term 'YIMBY'?" today

I have a life long friend who's on a journey of political realignment and I'm trying to be supportive but he's sending me just the worst memes
