Fyi I'm on Insta, Bluesky, Threads, and Spoutible. I loved this app for so long and enjoy talking to all of you so much. Will try to stick around, but follow me elsewhere.

Like don't get me wrong I'm extremely concerned about the dark path artists will have to navigate in the coming fascist hellscape where ignorant hicks become our tastemakers but also I kinda would not be mad if they brought back HeeHaw

You think evil is going to come into your houses wearing big black boots. It doesn’t come like that. Look at the language. It begins in the language. —Joseph Brodsky

Back in my day there was so much toilet paper and so much eggs that we gathered at night and threw them at the houses of our enemies.

Last night I dreamed I tweeted in all caps "WHEN WILL THE MUPPETS MAKE A LIVE-ACTION GONZO MOVIE" followed by the reply tweet "AND CAST ME AS ONE OF THE CHICKENS YOU COWARDS" and it went mega viral, so I figured I'd better come back here and say that just in case

You still have your family. You still have your friends. You still have your work. You still have your passions. You still have your diversions. You still have the capacity to feel joy, and the means of doing so. You still have your mind, which is and will always be yours alone. And you still have the ability, no matter how difficult it may seem, to choose to carry on with your life, and spend the one and only existence you will get for all eternity in as loving, fulfilling, and authentic a way as you possibly can.

As y'all know I often dream about celebrities trying to date me. Last night: Sean Astin! I was engaged in some sort of mystery adventure and poor Sean kept trying to be my sidekick. "Is this the map you need? I'll get you a horse!" And so on. I rode off without him. Sorry, Rudy!

The interesting thing about immigrants is that without them, neither Trump nor Vance would have wives.
