Oh Damn..

A Feud to Carry Vol. 2, 2.5.24 “Revolution"

What’s the use of working, to eat with silvered spoon All week, all day? Barely even able to pay For food, for rent, for friends, for fun All the while struggling to profit someone Else Often – I wonder how evolved we have become Taking the joy of making art To a mechanized stolen heart How weary will I be when workday’s end Looking at letters, messages of love to send Elsewhere I drive past prairies, and watch films of travelers Never to wander in my own neighborhood Nowadays more like a strangerhood How long can these coals burn? When such little for this heat is there to earn Erstwhile Why should I bother with futures? I work all day, sleep all night Struggle to keep the heat and light Surrounded by books Figures and nicknacks in nooks Estimates Never will I own my life now The business bean counters will sell it as a service Depreciated down so as to not miss A single update Buggy, slogged, and late Else I will fizzle out as a sparkler, celebrating the freedom of this great nation

Going insane at the number of people who read my post just being like "you should learn your neighbors names to build community with them even if you dont wanna be close friends with them" and somehow interpreted that as "you are telling me to befriend every neo nazi in this country and invite them all to a family function where we swap chili recipes" like I'm really sorry you live in a place where when you hear "neighbor" and the first thing you think of is raging bigot but I was more thinking about my neighbor who made a bad joke about calling himself anorexic just cause he's lost some weight who also supplies drinks for every pool party and will break any awkward silence by dancing for everyone to make people laugh or my other neighbor who's straight and showed me a movie with a lot of 90s homophobia/transphobia but was excited cause it was one that was "progressive for the time" but who also checks in on me regularly to make sure I'm doing okay, will buy food for me at the drop of a hat if I need it, and greets every new person in the neighborhood warmly to try and make everyone feel welcome

preserving this video at all costs to teach future generations what twitter was like

“But their relationship is so fucked up why do you like it?” Brother if you even glanced at the shit I’ve romanticized you’d clutch your pearls so hard your fist would go through your chest

Nothing that’s been made by AI has beaten The Beach That Makes You Old btw
