All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a raging snowstorm, and Agatha Christie novel, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, and a basket of emotional support pastries.

Because Luna is a beautiful girl with flowers and moonbeams in her hair, bathing by a waterfall.

Mars sounds like a brute who just destroyed a bar because they asked him to pay up.

Exit Poll 
November 5, 2024


Do you consider yourself 
More venal 
or more stupid?

Did you vote for a candidate who
wanted to preserve American democracy
Or nah?

Do you hate everyone 
Who isn’t exactly you?

Why are you fucks?

Why are white men such weak, pathetic, scared, pellucidly soulless tiny beings?
(#NotAll)
(#Obvs)

Why would a choad holding combover 
half-assed celebrity rapist 
multiple bankruptee 
literal criminal probable traitor 
who’s already been impeached twice 
seem like a good bet, 
ya rube? 
β€œ

I don't want to piss anyone off but I'm a Star Trek fan because a world where money is NOT the prime motivation, rather, advancement of humanity- that is a world I'd love to help create.
Star wars...
Shit, that is what we have now- but the assholes have even more powerful weapons!

Mastadon’s tech is revolutionary. It just came too early thus doomed to fail. Truly believe Web3 is the future though, and I’d love to see it adapted into mainstream and not just gatekept & bastardized by crytpobros.
