buying a pintetest-y wall hanging with twee cursive lettering that reads “this place is a message, and part of a system of messages, pay attention to it! sending this message was important to us. we considered ourselves to be a powerful culture. this place is not a place of honor, no highly-esteemed deed is commemorated here. what is here was dangerous and repulsive to us.” to hang in my living room

how many craft/writing projects on my to-do list were inspired by shitposts? well right now, one more than was on it five minutes ago, I can tell you that much
