Well, this is it. Midterms are tomorrow, and depending on the results of this election, it could radically alter the course of the next two years. It took a bit of thought, but I've finally decided on who I'm going to vote for. I won't disclose the specifics, partly because I feel no need to risk alienating some of my followers, and partly because I don't have much of an axe to grind either way, as I'm not exactly enamored with either side, but I want to urge you, if you haven't already done

So I was playing Jackbox with some bros (and some other folks I'd never met before), and after playing a couple rounds of Fibbage, we decided to Break the Internet, and soon discovered that we were all really horrible people, which naturally made for some really great comedy. To give some form of scale, this screenshot was far and away the least offensive thing we did, and as such, was the only one I felt comfortable enough to share.

Since I wasn't around to say anything about my birthday, let's do something I've been somewhat reluctant to do and show off an old picture from this summer. Because now that I'm 23, I care far less about anonymity.

You're first to shine and bedazzle, so try not to fret,
When you're the first to burn out and the first they forget.
'Cause you're a flash in the pan, that's your one single perk.
Because hey, that's just the way that fireworks work.

And as we all know, US law dictates that all American citizens salute the bald eagle at least five times by the end of the day. So, if you're a ravenous patriot who's having trouble finding one, allow me to provide you a shortcut:

In all seriousness, Happy Independence Day, America.

M: What did you do this time?
S: I...
S: He wanted to know how I was doing.
S: I just told him that things have been kind of rough.
M: And then he had to reassure you, didn't he?
S: He said he wanted to help me.
S: He said...
M: He was just being kind.
M: And you took advantage of that kindness, once again making a burden out of yourself.
S: ...
M: Don't you ever feel bad?
M: You shouldn't be dragging that poor boy into your problems.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. No matter how much I think about it, this show’s success is still shocking to me. This should be a show that only appeals to little girls, and yet, with its likeable characters, interesting ideas, and writing that usually manages to be funny and heartfelt, it managed to garner a passionate, borderline fanatical fanbase filled with folks of all ages, genders, and nationalities that’s kept it going strong for 8 seasons now. No denying it, that’s something

I saw a little mouse today,
Its fur coat was messy and grey.
I'm glad it seemed eager to stay
around someone like me.

I set a crumb down by its feet
It squeaked happily for the treat
And so I watched it quickly eat
that little piece of me.

Now there's no dinner for me tonight.
There is no rescue within sight.
And honestly, that's quite alright
