colloquium “how to cognize like the pop icon de force that is
currently most hypesnatched and pre-less-reptrelevant” concurrently
the commencer clerkic-in-chinos deculls out to souls: “as you are
all aware the ludificists have initiated their yolotoving campaign
we are bearing witness to a L% drop in letting people enjoy content”
and so we *skei-out unto other small groups we discoursuet we

chips every federal holiday every sirexecutive tailismday and
when the sesh senescences our cohort legate levator labiis us

ONLY SENSOR PLEASE DON’T PUSH

i get disliking mostly bad thing but i
love the most representative example
of mostly bad thing seeing 16 color cones
worth of color like a mantis shrimp i’ve been
told this movie has a cult following i’ve also been
told coprophagia has a cult following modern
day reinterpretation of kafka and it’s about a
guy who wakes up and suddenly he’s a fuckin
sexy guy a lot of people are like mob rule is bad
but actually it’s pretty dope so much effort goes
into making people form a shitty diamond when i
saw this wow i immediately dropped the big bowl
of enriched flour i was eating raw touch my butt
and buy me pizza and then inject a cougar tranquilizer
right into my median cubital vein eating a delicious
sugary melon ugh fuck this is terrible it’s literally
not a hole a straw is an extended opening a mini
canal a hole doesn’t have an exit at its bottom end
this is really important to me this is what it looks
like when i do pee ive been reduced to using lettuce
as toilet paper i can’t help but loving the classics
coca cola ford automobiles dumping old tires
into the crick burger lol gen z is weird uhhhhh
not to me someone who has read william blake
it’s wild how there isn’t a dick iud equivalent yet
i feel like if you just swallowed a lego like a mondo
turbo antibiotic it would float on down and do the stop
trick today’s the day i can feel it my poetry manuscript
is gonna get accepted by an indie publisher
followed by 5000 people but actively read by 37
then the umbra? the umbra? over me? shall cease

I’M UNLEAVENED TOO
