i have the best news, everyone. Chancleta has won every single election tonight, with approximately 99.8% of the vote. it gets better: you all did such a great job for him that he's decided any more elections in the future would only be pale imitations. so we're not going to have those anymore!

I finished The Vampire Lestat. I’m in therapy for CPTSD & a very long & interesting list of mental disorders. I was raised by a narcissist who saw me as an extension of himself. I’m obsessed w/my failure. Every day of my life is like that fucking long table scene. Every fucking day.

The people who say “I’VE DONE MY OWN RESEARCH” are the people who are the least qualified to do their own research. They can’t differentiate reliable from unreliable sources, never took statistics, don’t understand sample size or if a study is replicable, & don’t know what peer review is.

We were watching that silly new Tom Hiddleston reenactment of the disaster of Pompeii and he was like ‘we have amazing new tech that allows us to track people through this disaster’ and I was oh no he’s going to say it’s an AI brain or something and then he said…. ‘Its a spreadsheet’ and I CHEERED

Omg this means Lestat and Louis have terrible, dark, contemporary knowledge that they were never meant to have. Stuff like Minions, The Swan reality tv show, the time Ashlee Simpson lip synced on SNL, the Letter from Jersey Shore, Ignition by R. Kelly.

So the tv show of Vampire Lestat is set in contemporary times, unlike the books which were set in the 80s. So does that mean that Lestat &/or Louis saw 9/11? I guess it would depend on the time zone if they saw it in real time but they’d have awareness of 9/11.

Finished the penultimate episode of The Vampire Lestat while I’m waiting to go to the bus stop. Holy shit, out of I think 7 books & 3 tv seasons, that might be the most honest conversation Lestat & Louis ever had.

I haven’t finished The Vampire Lestat yet but I’m really actually enjoying the exploration of Lestat’s trauma & how it leads to his actions. I’ve loved the books since I was 11, but I’d never considered the idea of consent & becoming a vampire or that Lestat was kidnapped by a serial killer.

I haven’t been talking about vacation a lot b/c I was bummed that I wasn’t going away. My 3 month IOP stay drained my finances so I went to my mom’s house. I’m so grateful I went here now. I don’t think I could have gotten medical treatment if I went to where I usually go.

Sometimes I don’t appreciate how good I have it in the northeast. If I need to go to CityMD I get seen within 10 minutes of my appointment, CVS is down the street, & I have a prescription in an hour. It’s taken me 3 hours to deal with a sore throat in rural PA.
