It’s the stage of a dying relationship where you know things can’t continue as they are but are still so invested in your partner that you’re desperately trying to make them notice how much pain you are in; when this shifts to making yourself notice it, you’re finally ready to go

the horror of memoir economics!!!

the cordyceps ant, jesus, this exact kind of situation is why I always felt like becky chambers books were a twilight zone episode or an omelas where the reveal hasn’t happened yet

looking at those pics, I give it either never 🍳 OR 2 weeks to 3 years?

I’m in complete agony hahaha

I think in a few months to years we’re all going to be even sorrier than we are that Helen Lewis has been made aware of this serially abusive person and their hellish, deeply emotionally and financially abusive polycule
