It’s lonely being intelligent. Maybe I’m just in the wrong social circles.

I like to read books at my construction job when we’re not busy. Yet none of my coworkers have read a book since early middle school, and they only skimmed it to half-ass a book report. I can’t talk to them about anything except work.

I’ve never been beautiful my whole life. I’d give myself a 4 out of 10, a little less than average. I never really cared about my looks, I haven’t worn makeup in ages.

I’d be interested in giving beauty a trial run, see if it suits me better than intelligence.

I got banned from reddit for saying the genocide in Gaza was bad.

I feel OK about it, for the most part. I can say "genocide is always wrong" and not get banned here.
