i saw the tv glow is awesome bc its terrifying in a transgender "if i keep pushing this down and down and down i will be slowly letting myself die" way but also its even just scary as "a man in the moon traps you in a dimension out of time built to psychologically torture you with suburbia"
yeah no sorry i'm going to disappear. yeah it's gonna be an all day forever thing sorry. yeah no there's a big fog i'm running towards. it's going to swallow me whole. sorry.
They should invent a way to interact with people that doesn't feel like I'm being hunted for sport

No one wants to talk about how intimate jump starting someones car is.
“““You’re not a monster,” I said. But I lied. What I really wanted to say was that a monster is not such a terrible thing to be. From the Latin root monstrum, a divine messenger of catastrophe, then adapted by the Old French to mean an animal of myriad origins: centaur, griffin, satyr. To be a monster is to be a hybrid signal, a lighthouse: both shelter and warning at once.””
