i was a sensitive kid, am a sensitive adult.
rioting never made sense to me. destroying the place where you live - i never understood that rage and recklessness.
learning about the riots of 1968, although i understood the reasons, i could never get my head around the acts. the thought of it filled me with terror.

i am no longer afraid of the rioters.
nothing scares me more than guns except for white men.
i am no longer confused by the burning down of cities.

saved my life

omg guys i'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo buuuusy.

ha! no. i'm not. i'm, like, normalbusy. or maybe even less. probably less.

but after being so very unbusy i was almost so very unalive, having stuff to do is SOOO GREAT! and also, whoa. hey the internets! i guess i don't have all the time ever for you.

well it is only my first day as a subscriber, but it looks to me like today in tabs is totes gonna be all upons with the life saving, now that i'm not queen of the webs. this rusty foster character boils down the day on the internets, all those tabs you should be opening and reading, but, duh, who has time, you are just gonna close them at the end of the day and feel like you FAILED at being informed about pop culture, feminism, politics, adorable things, and so on and so on. or. jokes! a snippet of today's:

oh and also, remember tab? remember when they brought tab back and me and cynthia loved it but then they took it away again? i know, right?

also: pink.

happy monday, real humans!
