    I legit enjoy getting scared so much that the few times I’ve experienced sleep paralysis I’m like “oh boy! it’s happening!” —but apparently that is exactly how you end a sleep paralysis episode is to just know that it is one/knowing it’s one helps relax you back into sleep.

    Really bums me out.

    I remember hearing a dunk on vegans a while back that went “how do you know someone’s vegan? they’ll tell you.”

    but in my experience it’s more like “how do you know someone hates vegans? they’ll tell you.”

    Yeah I should’ve hyphenated cream-filled to maybe break up that consistent gap.

    I would literally doodle these on a notepad, take a photo with my phone, jack up the contrast, then put the text in using my handwriting as a font; all in ~10 minutes with barely any QA. I’ve been meaning to remake/re-draw them, but I know myself and the more work I put into it the less I’d enjoy it.

    My retirement plan likely involves explosives and a penthouse or penthouse-equivalent that may or may not be occupied by the richest, douchiest person I can successfully stalk.

    My inevitable colon cancer diagnosis is the go signal.
