just saw a video on IG warning dc area women about a guy who likes to film himself surreptitiously stroking women’s hair on the metro and for whatever reason that’s gonna be the thing that fucking breaks me today. you disgusting people couldn’t leave women alone if you tried could you

Forgot to put the Mitski album on GOING UP despite the fact that I'm currently wearing a Mitski tshirt. New Mitski album very good!!!

Then I apologise for everything I've ever said, which was surely in error.

GOING DOWN 01 The fossil with teeth I don’t know what is trapped inside that but put it back into the ground where it belongs. 02 All the men on LIB Ohio Is Chris the worst one? Or is Alex the worst one? He’s a nomad, did you know. 03 Influencer fluffy mic Talking into a blusher brush in your bedroom? It’s giving teenage girl. (derogatory). 04 The drains It rained for 60 days and 60 nights and then I got damp on an internal wall and THEN I got mosquitos. 05 Matt Goodwin Do fuck off and write another book so that nobody can buy it and you can eat it live on camera AGAIN.

The magnolia trees are coming into bloom at the moment, so this is a good time for my annual reminder that the petals are edible and taste strongly of ginger. I like to pick the buds before they unfurl and pickle them whole in rice vinegar.

GOING UP 01 Small Prophets (BBC) My bf Mackenzie Crook does gentle folk comedy like nobody else. 02 Magnolia trees The candelabras of spring are lit, as they have been since the beginning of time. NB! their petals are edible and taste of ginger. 03 Rosalia ft Björk at the Brits New rule: all songs must have a breakdown where Björk suddenly appears like a final boss. 04 Sunlight One (1) slice of sunlight hit my skin and I became immediately manic!!!!! 05 Hannah Spencer I just think she’s cool like I’d like to get a matcha with her and learn about different types of washers and gaskets??

STEP OUT INTO THE SPRING LIGHT AND EAT A MAGNOLIA FLOWER DIRECTLY OFFOF THE TREE

so bros put a different starch in hash and now we have to discourse about it

VOLITION??? IN *THIS* TINY MAMMAL?

I jumped at a towel yesterday because it suddenly rearranged itself into: cat, and was unexpected (it was still towel)

Not a day goes by I don't wish I could wear blinkers like a horse. Oh what's going on over there? NONE OF MY BUSINESS.

"Where are you??? .... haha there you are!"
I like to think I've progressed since childhood peekaboo, and yet...

I reckon a brachiosaurus would absolutely love a nice snack on a magnolia

Can't believe this cat is always in my house! I leave my bedroom, there's just this guy, there he is. I don't know where he's going to be because he has his own agency even though he's in MY house. Absolute business.

Excuse me with your "almost twenty years on from Gordon Brown", this cannot be so as I remember it well yet I am and will always be only nineteen years old.

If you're using a strongly coloured magnolia you also get nice pink pickling vinegar left over. Which is cute. Imo all very cute!!!

The full moon seen through the branches of a magnolia cascading over a wall, covered in still-closed blossoms

Full moon amidst the promise of spring at last!

Well quite.

Airport but aeroplane, yes (this always annoyed me, I thought it should also be aeroport).

Mostly abbreviated to plane though obvs!

Oh I'm not getting into all of that

I suspect this is one I will see disappear in my lifetime, and that makes me sad.

Don't know why the americans are always taking the piss out of us for the food thing when they could be mocking us for saying aeroplane.

Happy Casimir Pulaski Day to all of those who celebrate

@deborahzafer.bsky.social There she is!

I was not a good driver but perhaps I passed first time purely to get away

He was renowned for it!

I am reading these with interest so thank you for posting them

My nervous system feels today like I’m playing the hazard perception test they give you on the computer as part of your driving theory exam; I am alerting at anything that walks too close to me or acts unexpectedly, clicking then double clicking with the mouse across the screen in the hopes that my click registers with whoever is overseeing. I always struggled with this driving simulator: does a puddle count as one hazard, click once, or do I need to keep clicking the entire time I’m passing the puddle as it remains a hazard throughout? I asked my driving tutor this at the time but he could not or would not give me an answer. He used to fart silently but aggressively as we were driving and then open the window a crack without speaking. In isolation you can certainly go mad but being surrounded by society is not necessarily a balm.
