This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Is this about the US, is the US alright?
I was in a bookstore yesterday. I did have a chuckle at this self-help book called something along the lines of "How to Politely Tell People to Fuck Off", which proudly stated to be written by a social therapist or some other Pokemon evolution of a psychologist.
Otherwise it was novels from mainstay authors, young adult stuff whose quality was undecypherable from their "my cousin knows Photoshop" covers and a bunch of pseudo-academic highly specific texts from local self-published authors.
I was disheartened to see that the native minority language section keeps shrinking, especially among children's stuff. And while I was looking at that I also noticed the manga section is bigger than the graphic novel section and that is bigger than US comics, which were now nonexistent. More neutral about that one.
You know very well that the US is not alright, lol
Politically however it seems to be all right lately.
