In grade school, without a word, I’d get up from my desk and walk over to the craft cabinet. I’d open some glue and pour it all over one hand, then return to my seat where I’d watch it dry. I’d then proceed to meticulously peel off the glue and get up again to throw away the peelings. I’d do this in the middle of a…

I just want to take a long walk and hug every friend I see.

My mother is staying with my brother and me for a few weeks, which has been a challenge for a number of reasons, but an upside is that while I’m wfh full time and my brother is trying to study and work, retiree Mum happily cooks for us. If anything I’m less adult than I was when this started. Also she habitually cooks…

Oh, so you are one of my kindred, huh? I am going to go hog-wild on restaurants when this is over. I mean, I know this is good for me, healthwise, and I’m going to keep up some of these eating habits. But a splurge is building for that first week when the country opens back up...

A petition for Dr. Fauci to be named Sexiest Man Alive is truly stupid.

I read that quote in Jerry Seinfeld’s mom’s voice (the character on the show, I never heard his real mom talk.) Even pictured her on the phone with him wondering why he’s calling to check on them.

Yeah, this virus is such a bastard. The asymptomatic carriers and 1-2 week lag in those that show symptoms means your state can be “dead man walking” while you’re saying “things are fine here”. If you wait until things ARE visibly bad in your state, you’re already fucked.

Your in laws must be the ones I see at the grocery store. They get right next to me in the check out line and roll their eyes at me when I say something or give them the stink eye. 

Right up until that first shortness of breath.

oh noes

I thought this was a troll for a second then looked at comment history- sorry for assuming and take care 😊

She persists in our tiny hallway, still making me feel okay

I honestly and truly don't know what to believe anymore. The only ONLY thing I am sure of is that I will vote for whoever is running against Trump. 

I’ve completely stopped reading the news. It’s obvious nobody in charge knows wtf they’re doing, and Trump just denies everything he says and takes no responsibility. So now, I indulge in a several-hundred song playlist of hip hop instrumentals while I finally have time to read the novel series The Expanse is based…

Thank you, to Stephen and all of the Kotaku staff, for doing their absolute best to provide us all with some levity and a form of normalcy in these trying times, even as you all deal with the same issues as everyone else. You all are a shining light in the fog this world is in, helping in your own ways to give hope…

I don’t know that it’s possible for me to hate someone with every fiber of my being more than I hate Trump.
