Bun Whoopee Cushion, Dave Packer, 2015

A few days ago, I was in an aggressively awful funk. I had spent, nay, wasted, too much time, talking to overly serious people about overly serious things. People who were very convinced of their rightness, and convinced that their seriousness made them smarter and more important than they actually were.

This was not true at all. However, pointing that out to them would have been unnecessarily escalatory and entirely unproductive. So, rather than pointing out that serious does not equal important or intelligent, I backed away quietly and made my way to better places, where people remember that little things and funny things are important, too.


In that darkest of times, I saw this on Twitter, and it was exactly what I needed, distilled to its very essence.

Thank you, Dave from Sheepfilms. This is perfection.
