actually for fusies, let’s make it a poll

I could cut back to survive on 10K a month, I've done it before. I would probably collect one, maybe two months at 14hrs/day before, uh, dying. I've done those. A month, when I was in my twenties, ruined me. I was simply never suited to BigLaw.
literally any upper middle class tiktok self-identified ‘that girl’ in a pastel workout set with a thirteen step skincare routine and a green juice is a million times closer to being patrick bateman irl than any self-identified sigma film bro

nervous officer: sir, the girl with the black hair and many piercings is about to write a scathingly lukewarm 6.5/10 star review that says our latest release is "technically adequate but lacking in the alienation that proves vitally characteristic to the genre, especially in what many would consider to be its waning years."
admiral of french dark industrial: her hair... [steepling his fingers thoughtfully] natural or dyed?
officer: dyed, sir... but it was from black to darker black
admiral: [stands up and starts orbiting the room, methodically punching holes in the wall as he goes]

This is literally my favorite tweet of all time. It’s so powerful.

Me & the other drivers were really impressed when you swerved around all of us at high speeds & got to the red light before anyone else
fandom sucks now I never see PSAs for writers about what can and cannot be used as lube
finding out about lube is the worst thing that happened to the smut-writing community. back in the day I’d get reports back from the trenches about stories where the characters used violin rosin for sex.
MOST BASS ARE JUST FISH BUT LEROY BROWN WAS SOMETHING SPECIAL
Leroy Brown has been haunting me, so I looked into his backstory and it's wilder than you could possibly imagine.
Leroy Brown was about one pound when he was caught in 1973 in Lake Eufala, Alabama, by Tom Mann, who is absolutely legendary in the world of bass fishing. Instead of releasing or taking him home to eat, Mann decided he recognized a spark of something special in the fish, so he took him home and popped him in his backyard pond. Later, he moved the fish to a giant aquarium in his workshop. He was an aggressive fish, so he got named after the song. And Mann loved this fish. He trained him to jump through a hoop, he hand-fed him, he would talk about him to anybody. The fish became internationally known, with publicity in Russia, South Africa, Australia, and other countries.
Then, in 1980, the fish dies- probably of old age. So what to do? Have a funeral. Various sources say between 500 and 1,200 people came (there was a very large bass fishing tournament that weekend), and the local marching band was there to play "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" as the fish's tiny casket was lowered into his grave.
But then things got really wild. On the day of the funeral, it was eventually decided that the ground was too wet and muddy, so Mann put the fish and his casket (actually a satin-lined tackle box full of one dead fish and the lure he was caught with) in the freezer.
That night, somebody stole the dead fish and his tiny casket.
Seriously. This was not a taxidermy fish, this was just. Y'know. A dead fish, with all of the smells that entails.
Three weeks later, the tackle box turns up at the Tulsa, Oklahoma airport. A baggage handler found it, and it was decided that the box full of three-week-old decaying Leroy was too nasty to ship back to Alabama. The statue remained at Fish World, which is where the public could visit Leroy during his life, until 2005, when Tom Mann died and the facility was closed. (Fish World was like... a weird museum/facility to learn about bass fishing. Mann wasn't just an expert angler, he also designed some of the most popular lures that are still used in bass fishing, as well as the Humminbird depth finder- still the most popular depth finder brand on the market. So he had this workshop/lure lab there and people could come see his stuff but also learn about how to go bass fishing and how to do bass fishing as a sport.) The statue went to another bass fisherman, until the city of Eufala asked for it back in 2016. Now it sits prominently on Main Street, reminding everyone that most bass are just fish, but Leroy Brown was something special.
It’s okay to come crashing down after you thought you healed. It’s okay if it creeps back up on you. You are not a failure. Healing is complicated. It is a process. Sometimes you think you’ve healed and more resurfaces. That is okay. This is still healing. It doesn’t happen all at once. It happens in bits because it is too much to handle at once. Your brain has decided that you are ready to deal with the next part. You are making progress. And you are doing just fine.
