TincturedCanoid

An engagement ring is handy thing to be able to point to when yelling I'M A LESBIAN 😃 at the guy trying to invite me into his car

My stock retort to questions like this is 'I have tits', usually does the job

I'm hot + W + don't care

Humbling, truly, to have my low funds bank balance alert triggered by an accidental purchase of a CCleaner Pro licence. The stakes of my life only continue to raise

(I think my life might be books + organising + the other stuff, I think that might have happened)

(I have 500 pages of letters/contracts/royalty statements between Ann Quin (one of the most brilliant writers of the last 50 years)and her (kind of insane) publisher John Calder currently being scanned at a library in Illinois 🥹)

Woman who spent over ten hours reading Arts Council Reports today and is thrilled about it

I 100% forgot I have old university friends I've not seen or spoken to in years on my Instagram Close Friends that is not what Instagram is for that's what Bluesky is for

No but the almost psychotic ambivalence w which it treats sex + relationships has been lighting my brain on fire. Not so much portraying dysfunction as making a shared concession w you as (female) viewer that this is, simply, how (straight) desire organises, motivates and fucks you up + you want it

Fear I may have just become a woman in her late 20s who has developed a fervid passion for HBO's Girls

EWWWWWW

What have they done this time

enjoy enjoy that film is SO good (can lend you the book also if yr interest is piqued)

Furious at my therapist for telling me he had to hold back tears during our session, robbing me of the opportunity to pass him the box of tissues

Fuck wait I really just want to be a woman who dresses like this and/or Lydia Tar

Older gay guy just came up to me on the tube to say he recognised me from the Common Press and that he loved the book I sold him a few months back. Kind of adore the oblique place in wider queer community this job has given me, it's so nice :')

Fascinated that any of us give an impression of sanity

Every single one of my sympathies 🫡

NEVER KILL YOUR SELF

I think the most important thing to know about posting online is never to post insight in an oracular fashion, and never to take advice from strangers. You are stupid. You are a fool. You are literally posting online. If you glean anything from this post, you have failed. Don't do it

😈

LFGGGGGGG

brb rewriting my post

Basically impossible to appropriately articulate + share the deep wellspring of joy I feel seeing T-Climbing as it is now. And now also find it hard to take seriously a lot of lib rhetoric around pride because: that is Pride to me, that can't be taken away from us

See how the sun hurls and retracts tridents and spears upon the paving stones, each building a plane imprinted and imposed only to evaporate and drip :)

Yesterday I spent three hours wandering galleries and plunging down the centuries and tomorrow I will watch the sunset from the fields and bring tea to my fiance as they hammer upon an anvil and in two weeks I start work in a library plucked from a daydream - I will hook a bag over depressions head

Tying up my hair in a cute new way + putting on a bemidriffed summer top + little hacksaw earrings + doubled up bracelets + poetry buzzing in my mind + it's Wallace Stevens + city rising to meet the heat + everyone's eyes contain a brightness it's up to them to show it + omw to booksell + barist

going to rock up to the bar with these photos in a manila folder so we can work out just what exactly made him so improbably good-looking
