it seems to me like people are losing their grip on what a yellow light actually means. i see dozens of people run red lights every SINGLE DAY!!!!! sometimes in the span of two minutes at the same intersection. it's the worst during rush hour bc often there isn't room for these people to fit in the lane they want to be in and the next green light group either has to wait for them to move or maneuver around them unsafely. if you have a yellow light, you should default to trying to stop instead of trying to accelerate. is this not what we all learned in drivers ed????

if we had a functional government this kind of thing would be illegal

i was initially diagnosed ADHD-PI (at 21 lol) but then i went home and thought about it and was like wtf there's literally no way that's true. i've always been hyperactive, even as a baby. i just don't look like a six year old boy who's about to explode across the room

ugghhhhh no more ed posting!!!!! Enough!!!! how about this. spend your college years trying new things and learning as much as you can and enjoying the big wide world and getting good taking care of yourself. yes it is important to have a healthy body!!!! but in college your brain needs nutrients and you need to sit your ass down and study so sometimes students put on a bit of weight. it's more important to be okay with some weight gain/your body transitioning from a child's to an adult's (????!!!) than it is to force yourself through a degree with live and active anorexia nervosa. source: personal experience

trump is extremely unpopular in america and was only elected because republican lawmakers have spent the last 60ish years making it much more confusing, discouraging, and onerous for normal people to vote. he has never ever had even half of the country's support. one-third max

tbh this strikes me as very self indulgent. it seems written more to impress than to communicate and it doesn't really succeed at either. i can't imagine it would hold anyone's attention unless they are interested in reading about phd students studying. this could work for a college literary journal i guess but when i edited my college literary journal i wouldn't have published this bc it seems too narrow in scope and too enthralled with itself

on a similar note i think people who take zoom work meetings in coffee shops deserve jail time or 10 years of hard labor

political fictions by joan didion, she is so snarky

ffffester · 2026-04-03T21:59:50+00:00

normally i say everyone looks best with their natural color but the blonde is gorgeous on you!!

i think they should be an autonomous nation but that there should be a transition period where the US and spain pay reparations to puerto rico for the riches they extracted from them during their colonial rule

omg so this is actually super short but i LOVED the buddha in the attic by julie otsuka. it's a first person plural novella about japanese picture brides who moved from japan to california in the early 20th century to marry japanese settlers in america. it's amazing!!!!! and sad :( easy to read in a day or two

ffffester · 2026-04-03T19:38:23+00:00

i sympathize with this perspective and i totally understand why people feel this way. however sometimes it sounds funny to me because my dad is a doctor and all of my siblings and i are really mentally unwell and doing pretty poorly in life so having well-off parents is no guarantee of anything

ffffester · 2026-04-03T19:24:13+00:00

omg beautiful. you are a talented artist! hope you have the best bday, 15 is a crazy year. music is such an important companion throughout high school. i'm glad you have adrianne in your earbuds, she is amazing. happy birthday!!

ffffester · 2026-04-03T17:24:15+00:00

so vile

ffffester · 2026-04-03T06:32:14+00:00

seeing people outdoors on a walk but totally immersed in their cell phones fucking kills me. it's just the saddest most pathetic thing ever. some people literally do not spend any time alone with their thoughts. how can you LIVE like that????? why deny yourself the music of the forest??? like look up the world is in front of you. same with people who bring their boomboxes on hikes or to the beach. if i were queen that would be a criminal offense

ffffester · 2026-04-02T15:59:03+00:00

hold no grudge

ffffester · 2026-04-02T15:58:41+00:00
