i love it

like a narrator commenting on the contents of the letters?

i mean...sure. why not. fine.

For those who missed it: this was the moment The Strokes ensured they’ll never be invited back to Coachella again! I'm so proud of them

It turn out she has a name, which is weird.

Thank you, Connie Ballmer.

STUNNING

for the record i dont want to date men anymore i'm not doing it on purpose.

it is possible to be lonely and not gross!!!!

listen. a lot of journalists have covered these sad men who refuse to fix themselves and become good partners. meanwhile people who are attracted to/date men have just like...started new hobbies and built a solid friend group and become more awesome. ain't nobody covering that though!!!

any favorites?

less war too so no

i think we just need less of everything. less work, less new stuff happening, less being produced, less bullshit media, less technology. everything in the world needs to be like 30-40% less. except medicine. and sex.

i mean you can try!!! there's no where else for them to go!

doing what!

a perfect film

it is hard to get a good screencap from a video but i am spinning upside down from a pole here. and im covered!! mostly. covered in a pole dancer way. it's safe for work ish.

prospect heights was STUNNING today - this is a photo of a brownstone and its surrounding trees, all nice and green right now, gorgeous big blue sky and bright sun.

my favorite activity - taking my book to a wine bar. i'm reading The Last Graduate by Naomi Novik, book 2 of the scholomance series, pictured here with a glass of rosé and my little colored page flags for annotating

this is me in the mirror at the wine bar - i'm really cute if i do say so myself

a good day tbh

nailed it

if it helps, check to see if you can get the mango app for free with your library card!

they are struggling together it's trauma bonding

literally no where else for them to go!

it is my worst fear by a MILE

this is one single bookshelf that has evolved to have many stacks of books leaned up against it. If this apartment ever catches on fire I am so fucked

this obviously isn't all of it but see if you can guess which shelf is broken and being held up by the books underneath. also spot the kpop shelf

Some data on how people are actually reading more and book sales are up, much as I suspected.

begging y'all to get the fuck off substack. so many newsletter articles i'd love to read and can't.

i am tempted to do this all the time but fear that would start a war i simply do not have funding for

It’s a brilliant tax because when they say “but the billionaires will leave” you get to say “they already don’t live there”
