  • It’s really hard for me to meet people when it’s like “what do you do” and I answer and they say “how is that” and I answer and then they ask where I’m from and then say it’s rainy.
    I don’t think people hate small talk so much as they hate it when people are bad at small talk. A lot of awkward people will barrage you with questions and you don’t even get the opportunity to ask them the question back because they just keep peppering you.




  • Babe I have two eyes, two ears, and a heart that yearns for honesty and knowledge. I know people can sound robotic too, and there are corporate scripts, and autism is a factor, but good lord. If there was an alien wearing human-esque skin suit standing in front of you I don’t think you’d be able to tell it from an actual person and that’s just sad.


  • I was driving through western Washington near Idaho recently, scrolling through the radio to see what they had going on out there, and the song literally went “find you a girl who loves her daddy, and talkin bout babies makes her happy” likeeee cmon this is straight up Christian white nationalism dog-whistle, let us be honest with ourselves.

    I love Lucinda Williams













  • I reject the concept of automatically taking a partner’s last name, as a woman. I also don’t want my father’s, for personal and professional reasons. It’s wack that we have all collectively agreed that a woman trades ownership and a large part of her identity when married. He should have to do it. I know a woman with the last name Palo who changed her name to something I find ugly when she got married and it ticks me off. It’s sexism for her to change it and not him, but we all ignore it?

    I will change my name to a partner’s if they have an awesome last name, but I can’t wait on a hypothetical partner. I actually do know a couple women in my line of work who have ethnic last names that have confused patients. Einstein would be funny but I dare not.

    Edit: that was a tangent sozz but I think Dr. Smart could be a good one
