Come on now

Temporary sidewalk in the street near some new construction apartments. The walkway is roped off with crossing tape, so there's nowhere to walk

Oof ow owie ouch

"People-pleasing" has nothing to do with pleasure at all. It makes the question of pleasure (friction) impossible. What I want isn't to succeed in being seen as a kind, polite person, but to induce a failure to be seen. I obscure myself with gratitude like a fig leaf because I consider myself indecent. Sickly. Infected. My shame protects us both from my misanthropy, my cruelty, my ugly. You should thank me.

I'm in this essay and wow is it painful

Caught between opposing wills, the people-pleaser knows he has to mollify them both. Mollification is the dire priority. To disappoint either side would be to allow the birth of an ugly image in another person's mind. This image, like their own self-image, would be true and hideous. The infection spreads. Quarantine is the only answer. All sorts of complications and unpleasantness can happen under this logic. The benefit of conflict could be obvious and overwhelming, and even so, the people-pleaser would reject it. When you consider how thoroughly one must abdicate their best interests in pursuit of such a small theoretical gain, it beggars a sort of admiration.

there is in fact a huge gulf between these two ideas. Exhibit 1273861872 of this sort of nonsense I guess

"Hasan Piker is bad and Democrats can't associate with him and you should denounce him" -people who thought a Dick Cheney endorsement was a good idea

Anyone else play jones in the fast lane when they were a kid when I got my job this is one of the first things I thought of

Screenshot of the employment office from jones in the fast lane, an ancient computer game. The top half is a pixelated building with a red roof that says EMPLOYMENT OFFICE in white text on the roof. The bottom half is a green panel that also says EMPLOYMENT OFFICE. It lists the employers you are able to try to work for in the game. There is a little window with a picture of a man with a moustache and curly hair. When you get a job, he says, "Congratulations, you got the job!"

am now best friends with another neighbor cat* who is currently crying outside my window so I will come back out to hang with him. *I am very aware that outdoor cats are Not Good; this is not a conversation I am interested in having. My neighbors' cats are not in my control.

like whatever, i don't care, but it is funny to see this right on the heels of this site going through a micro civil war over dick cheney endorsing harris

fondly recalling the fox2 detroit newsman who did a 420 piece and provided this excellent screengrab (among many other wonderful moments)

If you see this, post an image you saved because it made you laugh

A comic in five panels by BounceBackToLifeComics on Facebook:
1 - a woman in a business suit taking a picture of a cat that is cleaning his junk
2 - the cat observes the woman walking away with her phone
3 - the cat reports the woman to the cat police
4 - the cat police confront her with evidence of her crime: illicit photos of the cat from panels 1 through 3
5 - the cat police take the woman away in handcuffs

this is nicely obscured and is also a good picture that my partner took of me at the ocean, bending at the waist to poke at a sand dollar on the beach. It was tremendously misty at this spot and it made it feel nicely otherworldly. A good time

tiromu@tiromu· Jul 14

We went to the ocean yesterday and while we did not swim we walked along the water for a long time and it was lovely (though I didn't get pictures of the ocean itself on my phone). I also met a little guy in the sand.
