That’s because those horror stories have happy endings.

I can’t do anything about the childhood that I didn’t have, but I am thankful that these days I have the skills to keep my brain from ruining my life.

Fighting it can be exhausting, but it also means I get to experience joy.

It’s not a fair trade, but it’s the best way I can live, so I do it.

Now, at 35, looking at those scrapbooks breaks my heart because I deserved to feel proud of my accomplishments and depression stole that from me. My childhood should have been fucking idyllic, but my brain wouldn’t let it be.

Depression.

No matter what I did, I couldn’t outrun the dislike for myself that started at 9 years old. I expected perfection. Anything less meant I was a loser. Superior ratings, A+ grades, and first place trophies didn’t mean anything because there was always another chance to fail coming soon.

Just found my scrapbooks from elementary and middle school. Report cards, music festival ratings sheets, notes from teachers… it’s overwhelmingly positive feedback. “A joy to have in class,” “great listener,” “hard worker,” “very musical,” etc.

So why do I remember never, ever feeling good enough?

Unclear how Google Calendar added “Dinner with Grandma” to my calendar tomorrow. Also unclear if it’s the grandma 19 years deceased or 27 years deceased. Also no plane of existence was included. 🤷🏻‍♀️

As a North Dakotan, I am so sorry about this idiot.

How many turkeys pardoned by Presidents went on to commit other crimes?

The Trump supporter who now runs CBS news cut the portion of the interview where Trump said he loved her. Here's why American media has a liberal bias problem.

The internet used to scream at us when we connected, and we didn't take the hint

@thedollop.bsky.social Idk what was wrong with Minneapolis tonight, but the 2 North Dakotans who drove 6 hours to see y’all had a great time. 🤘🏻

Ten years ago today, I tried to kill myself. Today, I am celebrating my 35th birthday and while the world is objectively a worse and scarier place than it was ten years ago, I have so much more joy in my life than I ever imagined was possible. 🥰

If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

Nevir shal Ich give thee up
Nevir shal Ich let thee doun
Nevir shal Ich runne arounde
and go from thee
Nevir shal Ich make thee to crye
Nevir shal Ich 'farewell' sigh
Nevir speke falsehood
And cause thee sorrowe

Feeling that way is one level of awful. Feeling that way and saying it out loud on camera because you know there won’t be repercussions is a level of awful that implicates the entire community around him.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

A representative for GWAR told The Post, "Normalizing violence? Humans don't need GWAR for that. There is nothing normal about the Looney Toon violence acted out on a GWAR stage. GWAR is absurdist spectacle. GWAR is to violence what the New York Post is to journalism. Ridiculous."

LOL

hey I've been thinking a lot about it and what if like a whole bunch of us tried all doing this at the same time, with enough of us doing this it's gotta work

We didn’t have hand soap in the kitchen when I was growing up, but I do now!

A statement from the Tylenol website stating that Tylenol does not cause autism

Tylenol ain't taking this shit

Behind the Bastards has a wild 6-part series on Kissinger that includes Dave & Gareth from @thedollop.bsky.social if you want to know more about this and experience the horror with some very funny comedians.

Statement from the Writers Guild of America, West

I came of political age hating the Bush guys and now I have to get in the trenches with them against the guy from the apprentice

I would like to file several complaints

From Wired a few weeks ago. A lot of the people who I was told for years were the adults in the room are being asked how they want to be remembered, and that answer is very clearly "cowards."

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

@gregproops.bsky.social Thank you for a fantastic show tonight! Comedy is seriously important in times like these and what y’all do matters.

I kinda think the way people use ChatGPT is sort of aspirational because it seems to emulate the way rich people have sycophants lying to them all the time until they lose touch with reality and also their entire minds

When I was on Silicon Valley, we didn’t think robot nazis would be here until at least 2030.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal."

That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.
