finally got Vigdis Hjorth's If Only in my hands...

me listening to a playlist that I have carefully curated with an overarching theme, seamless and logical musical transitions, carefully mixed genres, guiding the listener through a very specific series of vibes: nice.

it is supposed to... but the sun is all but gone at this point

the sun is half set at 2.30pm no one wants this !!!!!

november really got me in hibernation mode... i forgot how bleak things are... please don't contact me to do anything after 5pm further than 100m from my home

the next time someone asks me to make a game please for the love of god someone remind me to keep it short and simple

lol that one tweet that followed me around for ages about men rawdogging the streets without a bag just their hands in their pockets against the world

excellent weather for rewatching phantom thread (2017) for the 7th time in the flickering candlelight

the desire to be part of some kind of literary journal again vs the not having any time to

just watched Aftersun and it was absolutely heartwrenching
