  • Oh thank god someone has had a worse realization than my remembering opening my mom’s “make-up” sponges she kept in her headboard drawer along what I newly realize was probably not lotion AAHHH. (Also, where tf did fancy ass headboards, with built-in drawers and jewelry tray and a big ass mirror, yeah no when did those big honkers disappear?) Out the drawer I grabbed them, opening up the crinkly plump sealed packages aaand playing with them like they were my spongy powderpuffs. Dabbing my face. Probably saying shit like, “mom look!! why do you have so many–”

    Oh god why. Why.

    I was maaaybe 4 or 5 though, weird thing to explain at that age I suppose. Still though. AHHH nonono.





  • I’m really starting to think that naming it TDS was the purest form of projection, in that they (at least the ones not in the “know”) literally don’t recognize in themselves that they are almost objectively more deranged than someone standing their ground against trump and all the people behind/above him in this weird little worldwide pyramid scheme of shit shams and shame.

    Basically, every damn thing is projection.

    Also, at what point is targeted psychological manipulation (including echo chambering, rabbit holing, generally radicalizing) via news, forums, feeds (every kind of social media) from companies fueled by bad actors finally considered a psy-op?

    We all know that some of our previously normal dads and somewhat rational cousins didn’t get sucked into the misdirected hate machine all on their own.

    I look forward to learning the codename someday.










  • Knowing a lot of families are going to be affected by this, this a tragedy no matter who or what is to blame. This is scary as hell all things considered, but we (or at least I) have to remember that a vast majority of investigations following crashes like this implicate a series of tiny but compounding errors. Regardless, it will still take time to figure out.

    My speculation based on the video that could point to human error: It appears the aircraft were possibly closing in on each other somewhat perpendicularly for an extended amount of time. With their relative speeds/distances to the crash point, the aircraft may have appeared as remaining at the same point in each other’s respective windows, with nighttime glare and light pollution effects making scale and distance hard to judge.

    However, just from a momentum and maneuverability standpoint, the aircraft with the “right of way” here was almost certainly the jet on course for landing, and it would have been the helicopter’s responsibility to establish and maintain visuals.

    But who knows at this point. All I know is I’m tired of tragedy in every form.

    The other day, I cracked open a tote of some high school papers and keepsakes that I haven’t laid eyes on in 15 years. Found a notebook inside where I wrote these yearly journal entries of big takeaways and thoughts I had each NYE starting as a freshman.

    What I wrote as a freshman at 14, right down to my exact handwriting, I could have written yesterday. What really hit me was how well I had summarized my entire psyche in wide-ass crayola marker. Like shit, I couldn’t have said it more succinctly myself, self.

    Are we indeed the same people we were in those “Stand by Me” years and the added baggage of aging and externally changing has only served to complicate us, to easily confuse ourselves with what we do? Is continually adding to the sum total of our lived experiences even helpful if some of us have already lost ourselves to a heap of internalized hardship?

    But who am I now if I am not also what I have lived?

    Yeah im all good here just another civilian casualty of shock and awe ruminating the night away 👈😎👉
