3/2/2025 - My Secret
There have been many times in my life where I have felt the need to hide who I am from others. I love spending time with my family, especially those that live across the country. When we all come together, there’s a big dinner hosted for everybody to catch up. Of course there’s food and soda brought for us to enjoy too. But there is a huge difference between me and my family that I don’t think I’ll ever get over. They are La Croix fanatics. 2 big packs of every flavor you could even imagine. I don’t understand it. Why does it taste like nothing but also stale pretzels at the same time? Who makes a key lime flavored drink? Of course I don’t love it, but when I was asked what flavor of la Croix I would have that night, I panicked. I would be an outcast, the only one in my family who doesn’t like La Croix! I asked for a random flavor, lying and saying I liked them all. I was handed an abomination of a drink. Cherry Blossom La Croix tasted like dish soap if you added vanilla essence. I lied and said I loved it, which my relatives were very pleased by. To my surprise it was their favorite flavor. But as their night went on, I did not drink any of my La Croix. I went to talk with my cousin and she asked why I had not touched it. I was so distraught, I lied to my whole family, faking that I loved this drink! But just like Abram got caught up in his lies, so did I. My cousin called my bluff and I had to own up. I admitted my dislike for Cherry Blossom La Croix, and she knew my secret now. My lie to conceal who I really am had failed. I am now looked down upon bhy my own family, all for something I can('t) control, my distain for La Croix.

"yknow i didnt know what a skylight was for a while." Me: "huh?? how long did you not know what a skylight was?" "... i learned a yeat ago... my friend was talking about how her mom's house has one, and I didnt know what the fuck that was." "how the hell did you go this long without knowing what a skylight is?" "i dunno maybe its like when i dint know what a jumpscare was." (she is a native english speaker) edit: k after reading this i now know that this made little to no sense. shouldve known better than to write something running off of 4 hrs of sleep
- 2/21/2025 - about AI...
As someone who draws, its dugusting what silicon valley and crypto bros have done to what is supposed to be a greatly beneficial tool. AI is supposed to do groundbreaking cancer identification, to predict natural disasters earlier, to help those who have disabilities live their lives easier. What AI ISNT supposed to do is to replace all the human shit we do. I dotn want to log on and see some guy tout a an ai modeltraied off someone's hard earned work. and the slop, god the slop is so bad. No matter where i go, its inescapeable!!!! Pinterst, Tiktok, Google. Even when i fucking look at billboards while driving, i see that shit everywhere!! WE ARE POLLUTING THE ENTIRE INTERNET WITH SEWAGE!! its so disheartening, do people really not value human creativity and intellegence? (obviously i know the awnser is yes but still). what im saying is its so frusturationg how artists and writers are cast aside for a little more profit (its not suprising, but i can still be frusturated!) not to mention the enviornmwntal impact of ai. ai needs massive data farms and servers to operate and keep it running. those fuckers take down more water than a suburban lawn in vegas. but who even cares we're all gonna die anyways
- 2/20/2025 - Big trucks are DUMB!!
First of all let me say that I live in widwestern america, becuase that plays a part in this rant (sorry international readers!!). But as many know by now, really big trucks are a plauge on our roads. When i was learning to drive, i was terrified to go anywhere near those fuckers. Those giant tanks are so scary on the road, not jusr becuase of their size but because of what i KNOW theyre capable of doing!! Imagine im driving my beautiful beautiful 2008 honda civic, and all of a sudden i see a 2024 ford,,, scary. theyre so much havier and higher off the ground its a fucking death sentence if i get hit my one of those!! and not just that because these trucks are so big, they cant fucking see anybody around them! if one were to ride a motorcyle and some incompitent doof were behind the wheel theyd be done in seconds! Even worse than that, imagine a kid in fromm of those cars, and the driver physically cant see the kid run into the road to grab a ball or some shit. OH WAIITT you dont need to imagine! in 2023 predestrian deaths reached a 40 year high!!(NPR) how enberassing. WHY WHY WHY are these trucks passing inspection and WHO is thinking its a good idea (obviously its companies who want to get their way but whatever) who the fuck lets these cars pass inspections?? and you know HOW i know that incompitent doofs are behind the wheel most of the time in these big souped up trucks?? Theyre the same people who buy these big tanks, just to drive from home to their 9-5 office job. they dant need a truck!! these tanks are made to tow and haul things, not be a one person's daily driver. they get horrible gas milage too, so why, in anybody's right mind, would people think this is a good economical choice? WHy are you using a monster to drive your kid to practice?? :) EDIT: i forgot to mention the REASON why so many new vehicles are ginormous. The govt. wants vehicles to reach fuel effiecentcy standards. Bigger the vehicle, less stringent the regulation. so even if a car is clearly a car, if its the weight of a truck, the fuel eficency applies as if its a truck. yay.
