maybe it’s just because i’ve always been a social outcast and for the most part very comfortable with that but there’s something so fascinating to me about characters whose desire for attention and approval goes so far that even if they achieve it there’s nothing enviable about it because of the sheer amount they sacrificed to get to that point
the spiral into greater and greater acts of self-destruction as the need to appease that all-consuming hunger for attention grows to outweigh all other considerations including self-preservation. spilling your blood, sweat and tears on the stage for fifteen minutes of fame until you have nothing left to give; making a martyr of yourself for the entertainment of the court of public opinion. the inevitable implosion if despite all your efforts and sacrifices you fail anyway. the inevitable helpless, horrified despair that sets in if you do succeed and have time to come to realize how hollow everything you’ve bought actually is, how utterly alone you are, surrounded on all sides by something that cannot love you back.
we need to figure out a way to make doing dishes less annoying for everyone. and we need to figure out how to make cigarettes healthy. and we need gay sex
hi hey please talk about this as much as you can constantly over time
so often i’ve seen big-ass Stupid Bullshit News about Stupid Bullshit become absolutely nothing after like 3 days. i’m so fucking tired of it because it means that nothing changes, since we’ve forgotten what we need to change.
now amazon is getting sued. awesome! this is the first time i’ve heard of it. the suit was filed presumably somewhere between a few hours and a day ago, so that’s understandable.
is this really, really going to be covered after, i dunno, three days? i honestly don’t reckon so. amazon has enough money and probably apathy to make this not as much of an important lawsuit as it should - and maybe could - be.
i would love to be reminded every day for weeks and then months that amazon is being sued for operating an illegal monopoly. i want to read every joke, hear every update, see every move that’s made until this shit is wrapped up. i don’t just want to operate on hope and, inversely, a lack of faith on this one.
i want my anger over the way things are run to be grounded in things happening right here and right now, instead of historical events that make you go “that sucks. can’t change the past! :)” and move on, because that changes nothing in the present or the future. please talk about amazon getting sued by the federal trade commission and 17 state attourneys-general for breaking antitrust laws by being an illegal monopoly.
