I reckon one night while we were all asleep a black hole came along & sucked the Sol System into the Bizzaro Universe where AlternativeFacts rule, it's the only thing that makes sense with everything that's happening in the world & explains why the complete opposite of Common Sense is gaining such traction in the world, 'Planet dying? Dismantle EPA!', 'Israel attacked another country? Attack the victims!', 'People dying and need Aid? Dismantle Aid & pocket the cash!'..

I've been envious of people who can shit-post off the cuff and be funny :bugcat_nod: it's a skill and maybe even attitude I just never seem to have cultivated, and with popularity and reach literally being what puts food on my table (and in my cats' bowls), it's been a constant thought that gnaws at me...

but...

I think I finally understand and have at least some appreciation for the sort of comfy cozy vibe I seem to put off, and wonder how I can cultivate that further :cozy:

Continued thread

One day, right before I woke up, I had a bad dream that a housecat was about of pierce parts of my legs with its claws.

When I woke up, I realized those parts of my legs were sore.

After I thought about the dream for a bit, I came to the conclusion that having a housecat as your sleep paralysis demon isn't the worst thing in the world.

(I don't have a cat, but I grew up with cats, and I am quite fond of them.)

Here are some quotes and ideas I have generated, either in response to things that have happened in my own life, or in response to things I have heard, watched, or read.

These ideas are often referred to as "shower thoughts," even though I didn't necessarily generate these ideas while I was in the shower.

another thing I realised today is that a lot of people here with large followings make short funny or interesting posts consistently that get them followers interested in small doses of fun in their timeline :frog_think:

me? aside from the video and stream posts (my actual core profession), it turns out I put out a multi-hundred-boost PSA about social justice every, ooooh, 3 months or so? :shiba_confused: :zerotwo_shrug:
