- there’s a genre of phrases that sound like they’re from the bible or like paradise lost, but really, really aren’t. like “there are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see” which is ofc a jordan peterson tweet about a bottle of evian. what are the others?
- this whole cheek removal thing is so stupid because in 9 months time there'll be a tiktok girlie who invents chipmunk core or cherub mode or some shit. boring
- heard last night about someone who went on one of those ayahuasca retreats where they prepare you to have an incredible spiritual communion with the universe or whatever, and when he finally took the drug the vision he saw was of his own car telling him to take better care of it
- god i am so bored of this wholegrain version of my life, oh another delicious homemade meal is it? a brisk walk? grow up
- i want to eat a wide variety of snacks from M&S that do not complement each other on a long train journey
- Replying to @ImogenWKhere are some others i can think of: i will face God and walk backwards into hell - dril when God sings with his creations, will a turtle not be part of the choir? - twitter comment in a thread about the name Sheldon
- Replying to @ImogenWKdo you think God stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he has created? - spy kids
- my little while ago friend and i made a list of all possible novel plots and it has kind of ruined reading for me. enjoy x
- since i read war and peace this one line from when one of them dies in battle is stuck in my head in the worst way, so that whenever anything bad happens to me i think, "how could this happen to me? me, who everyone likes so much?"
- thinking about the guy i once found in my bedroom at a house party looking at my bookshelf, who turned to me when i came in and said “an unsurprising selection”. hope he’s dead now x
- do you think the pub is thinking about us
- i don't want to hear anyone asking "what do the royals actually do for us?" again, now they have provided one of the most insane comms fuck ups the world has ever seen. what a gift. thank you, the windsors
- what is the name for this type of man?? English, Terry Pratchett fan, sardonic humour, left wing-ish, leather jackets, maybe long hair, maybe folk music, Bill Bailey, real ale, usually middle age+. Warhammer adjacent. Likes swords but doesn't necessarily own one?
