well at this stage I'll just have to give in to the insomnia and push right through until this evening won't I

Speaking as someone who has been suffering some kind of post viral fatigue for years (possibly covid, possibly glandular fever? I've had it all, lucky me!!), it's too late for me and I am barely coping with the moderate adjustment. Just get the booster.

I'm enraged tbh

Omfg Three fucking sucks I am literally trying to switch to you for broadband because I've moved home and I can't place an order with my old billing address unless it's my delivery address are you fucking insane

Acclaimed 90s graphic novel on occupied Palestine experiences “soaring demand” Since its release, Joe Sacco’s Palestine has been lauded by authorities of the Middle East crisis and comic readers alike. Now, its reprint schedule has been hurried forward.

Amazing yet poignant to see that Joe Sacco's PALESTINE is in such high demand. I wrote my dissertation on it 15 years ago and it wasn't new then, nor any less relevant, sadly. Absolutely worth getting if you've never read it. www.itsnicethat.com/news/joe-sac...

Fuck

I wish I could just ignore it but I'll need to request a lease extension in 2 years at which point the fact that it already has laminate is going to undo me. Also fuck carpet, I'm willing to pay for expensive acoustic underlay but apparently they will never agree to flooring that isn't carpet??

Lol is this purchase going to fall through anyway because of a covenant to keep carpeted flooring, fuck

My hair has gone VERY grey in the last two months. Liminal spaces are really spaces of accelerated spacetime. I'm not well. At all. But projects give me life. Will this fix me? No. Are the thousand things I'll need to do an elixir? Yes. (I don't know how I'll recover if this falls through AGAIN)

Is this manifesting? After 5.75 months of stress it seems like maybe this tiny rundown flat mortgaged at an interest rate I can't really afford is going to be mine by next Friday? If so, I must say constantly asking for a Christmas miracle is basically writing a letter to Santa and Santa is real

Said this once at the old place: my late dad did admissions at Cambridge for a while, & if any candidate mispronounced a difficult word he made a mark in their favour – because that meant they’d read it in a book by themselves, rather than being spoon-fed. We should celebrate our mispronunciations!

liminal space is the absence of space change my mind

Maybe it was a bad idea to let a few socially-stunted dork billionaires capture all of humanity's collective online social interactions, art, and discourse

Thought I was going to do something with this day off but instead I have simply indulged my depression laying in bed for 5 hours straight. I did do some drawing for a gift though. That was nice I guess.

Last weekend I swapped out "if you don't stop [X] I'm gonna punch you in the face" with "if you don't stop [X] I will slit your throat" and I think I'll keep it. It's really alarmingly dark, but because of that it's less threatening because, obviously, I would never. Yeah. It works.

grab a plaster from first aid and fix it to the inner and outer part of the centre gore over the top of the the protrusion (I had to do this yesterday, why do we subject ourselves to this)

60 things I like from the first 60 seconds of Doctor Who

In the UK we celebrate Misgiving, a year-round festival of formless dread and unease

Anyway thanks for letting me use this the way I've always used Twitter so I don't have to speak about my despair in person ever and can pretend to be nonchalant because I'm deeply uncomfortable with nonconfrontational negative emotion. Yay!

At least the worm was funny.

There is nothing to be happy about, my birthday is just a reminder of how fruitless my efforts at making my life at least materially more secure, if not meaningful, have been. 39. And for what.

I am also crying uncontrollably every couple of days over Israel and Palestine and human apathy, and people keep asking if I'm going to do anything for my birthday. I truly cannot imagine wanting to pretend to be happy for the sake of others less.

I am in a shitty mental place thanks to some chronic health stuff, living out of a rucksack in someone else's home (grateful) while it slowly becomes painfully clear that my flat purchase, the life raft I opted for when this crushing existential breakdown began 2 years ago, is going to fall through

Someone called me "obviously classy" this evening thanks to possibly my posture, accent and the fact that my hair is up very tight and without a beat everyone at the table who knows me erupted with "HAVE YOU MET FOX?!" and roaring laughter and I'm too far gone to not consider that a compliment

HAPPY ACTUAL BEST OF DYING TWITTER DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

"Would you still match me if I had a worm?"

I keep telling hinge matches about my subcutaneous parasite and they keep going silent, what's going on?? 🧐🧐🧐

No thanks FB I'd rather disembowel myself than revisit the years of devastation that have turned me into the ghost of a husk of a person that I am today
