enjoying the gentrification 😎

I have this tiny pink furry journal from when I was about 13 where I wrote my thoughts about the books I was reading at the time and the idea of opening it is dreadful. For years I've contemplated just burning it. I will probably burn it in the eventually. Maybe adulthood means facing your past self

I'm glad you're able to look over them because for me it's absolutely torturous to look at the stuff I've written or drawn. I'm like "who do you think you are? this is dumb and you deserve nothing!". trying to fix this in therapy. it's like I have 0 insight in evaluating whether something's good

don't know about you but I quite like "blitzkrieg"

she's making her blackcurrant jam right now and we're not allowed in the kitchen 😔

my grandma used to dry prunes in the attic and they always came out smokey. no idea if the smokiness was intentional or if prunes just have a naturally occurring smokiness to them once they dry. one of the mysteries of my childhood 🤷🏻‍♀️

I only know a tiny bit of latin due to its proximity to my native tongue but a very good quote is quod nullis amor est medicabilis herbis which means you can't cure love with herbal remedies, but maybe Micah's travelling anxiety might benefit from a lavender, linden and camomile tea. also layover?

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

also also, if you use american express it might not be accepted everywhere. and for anything under 5 euros you need to pay in cash so you should definitely have cash

I suggest getting the TrainLine app on your phone. I mostly use it in the UK but it's so easy to buy tickets with it and I've used it in Italy before. Idk if it's available in the US though. Google says it should be. Don't know if it's used that much over there and maybe you didn't know about it

cyanotype is such a cool medium. I've always wanted to incorporate it into my art but I'm scared of the chemicals

my friend whom I met in Scotland is called Duthac after some ancient bishop who lived on this realm. also I'm on a quest to try every food mentioned in TVD, in no particular order. I tried falooda and it was way too sweet for my taste. 6.7/10

reading this at the moment. brutal and heartbreaking

yesss and get multiple kinds of film for the various occasions! outside, inside, in the sun, etc etc

I know anxiety doesn't make exceptions and it's probably useless for me to say but it'll be fineee and Europe's so fuuun. You should bring a film cameraaa!!!

taking this as a sign. I have an exam tomorrow and I'm in adhd hell right now. I don't think drinking more water will fix this 🙂‍↕️

young mungo and in memoriam were lovely, I read each thrice

I just checked their website and they have the lyrics on there so I guess you could print it out themountaingoats.net/lyrics/talla...

don't vinyl records come with a lyrics sheet usually? maybe that could be an option?

UK edition looking crisp! Found this at my local bookshop today ❤️

come to Edinburgh king 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I feel like I'm losing my mind Micah. I'm so incredibly sorry this happened to your country. I can't put it into words...

Or you could spend the holidays writing an essay on the anti-Christian sentiments part of 12th century Icelandic sagas. The og war on Christmas 😔

ooooh, did they taught you how to develop your own photos?

what a beautiful photo! I wish my teenage photos were not all digital

I just love how tvd has something incredibly picturesque for every season

I legit had a dream in which you won a pulitzer for this book. My subconscious mind is manifesting. Also, it's been vigorously snowing up here in Scotland and it reminds me so much of tvd it actually hurts

Since some countries grant citizenship based on a document like that there might be records of his passport in like state records. But checking that probably costs a fortune 😔

if you have any tips for dealing with those impromptu waves of existential nausea please share

I feel like I went to bed and woke in a reality that shouldn't exist. Going full Donnie Darko mode. I can't even joke about it, I'm so angry
