Hi, my name is not convexer and this is my garbage site. I created this site
because I wanted a place where I could be my full & terrible self without
worrying too hard about making a positive impression.
Topics of interest include personal shit, gender politics, regular politics,
and the modern workplace. I don’t really proofread my posts, so let me know if
I say anything that’s just wrong.

Weathervanes
I’ve been listening to the album Weathervanes today by Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit,
a brilliant treatment of “man pain,” which of course is one of my favorite
topics to consume media about.
I think Jason Isbell might be one of the most brilliant lyricists ever. I’m
in awe of the track “Save the World,” which inverts the typical parental dynamic
by having the speaker beg his child (in my hearing) for reassurance that she will
“save the world when I lose my grip.”
Can we talk about the part where he makes
poetry out of (checks notes) the RealID Act of 2005?
I left my wallet in the hotel room
They barely let me on the plane
I didn’t get a chance to check the news
Somebody shot up a classroom again
And when you said the cops just let ’em die
I heard the shaking in your voice
And for a moment you began to cry
Then I heard you make a choice
