I'll always recommend the 'Mancer trilogy by Ferrett Steinmetz. Addictive, enthralling writing.

i'm looking forward to ethel cain's album release on 7th august! i've already got fuck me eyes and nettles on loop 24x7, can't Wait to see how she ensnares me with the rest of the tracks.

listening to the hamilton soundtrack again for the first time in a while. i forgot how much fun it was :3

got my first 50 move draw yesterday :o KQR vs my king. opponent blundered their queen, i ate it, and then we danced around the board. it was delightful.

my paat two posts: the duality of man

i've been playing chess for the past week. i think i understand it less now somehow.

playing chess again after a Long hiatus. (yes, i started during lockdown.) i think my spatial reasoning has improved in the hiatus because i'm finding it easier to visualise the capture areas of both my pieces and my opponent's. it's wild.

is negligent evil really that much better?

apparently rcb's in the ipl finals? let's hope they break their losing streak.

i forgot how good the live version of poison and wine by the civil wars is

i have awakened. emika's first album is my current soundtrack. except 3 hours. i prefer hit me, which is an alternate version of the same song. hit me is fucking Raw. 3 hours is a bit too polished imo.

leaving the typo as is because we are healing from perfectionism and mistakes are Okay

i'm enjoying the pitt s1 but i really wish they didn't stick cliffhangers at the very end of episodes. like, i understand that you want me to keep watching till i'm a shriveled husk, but i need sleep, man. i've gotten in the habit of pressing pause 1 minute from the end, for my pre-bed peace of mind

when my skin takes on a greenish tinge i eat some dates

i lile eric rosen's chess streams. i attempt to understand chess, which i understand about as well as differentiation and integration in math, and his calm voice lulls me to sleep. good times.

🎶 i'm working late, cause i'm a ✨singer✨

been there, So many times. thank you for putting it into words 💖

i'd hazard a guess that the quid pro quo Is explicit, eric lipton just doesn't know about it, and thinks, like a baby, that if he can't see it, it doesn't exist.

my condolences 💖

so, the art is completely fucking everything up and salvaging a couple trinkets from the rubble?

i've had some success with chibs okereke's sleep meditations. not a Lot, but some. godspeed and sleep well, friend.

the next day in school i was a Mess, and istg my class teacher wasn't all that far from calling an ambulance for me, she was so worried. i was in the bathroom crying and i splashed my face with water and she thought the water was sweat and she was So alarmed.

she was trying to prove herself. right a wrong she'd done. and i could see myself doing the same thing All too vividly.

my sister jodie. i saw too much of myself in jodie, and it fucked me Up when she fell and died and everyone thought she killed herself. what fucked me up Worse is that when she fell, she was trying to prove that the story she told of the lady in the tower that scared all the kids was just a story.

HR isn't for the workers. it's for the one person at the top of the food chain. that's the human whose resources they're managing and protecting. not you.

john mulaney was right about the horse loose in the hospital. wwhy are you interviewing the horse like it's a sane person. it's a _horse_. this calls for emergency measures, fam.

when k.flay said 'i wanna wake up feelin like i've fuckin slept', i felt that. i feel like i've slept for 4 hours or so, which is an improvement on feeling like i've slept for zero, i think.

i wish all my fellow abused kids a very speedy mother's day. i'm sorry you didn't and/or don't have a mother worth the name. i feel you.
