But do the aliens believe in me?

I’m glad I didn’t get rid of my sled. I am going to hurt later, but that’s a tomorrow problem 🛷

I think I almost made it to mall world last night 🙌🏻

When hope is so often punished, it feels destabilizing to have any. Almost reckless even.

“Once your hope is crushed, you are truly free” and other wisdom overheard at work.

If anyone has any special techniques on reaching Mallworld or the backrooms, please share. I keep winding up in other peoples houses, or my own old house inturrupting and confusing the current occupants unintentionally. #mallworld, #backrooms, #liminal, #astralplane

So my new hobby rn is realizing how much astral projecting I’ve been doing most of my life and trying to harness it into a more deliberate manner, ya know. Just for funsies.

Oh? Just despair; yeah I already have plenty of that, thanks anyway.

I’m fresh out of whimsy, does anyone have any left to spare?

Seeing a rapid increase in fare evasion - nice work everyone! This is what happens when you can no longer afford to even show up at work 👍🏻

Potato’s are harm reduction

During an anxiety attack I discovered I had free will and a waffle maker so I made mashed potato waffles and somehow that brought me back to earth. Potatoes are love.

Eyes Wide Shut is a Xmas movie- fight me.

I’d really like the death to stop, thx.

Secret of NIMH is absolutely someone’s origin story for their shibari kink 🪢🐦‍⬛

I’m so stressed out I finally like watching Murder She Wrote. Angela Lansbury and Daddy Stack should’ve co-starred in something

You know shit is bad in the office and you hear someone having a little quiet crashout in the bathroom and it’s NOT you (for once). #marketweek

Sonnet

Cry quietly at your desk but only just enough to not scream.

The more French I keep relearning, the more typos and grammatical errors I make in English 🫢🪭

When that 3am insomnia gets the one two punch of smelling the sea breeze deep in BK you are reminded that the home of your soul is in fact not that far and it’s always there for you, waiting with open arms no matter how far you stray

My desire to scream and scream and scream is conflicting with my desire for quiet.

Ever have one of those anxiety tooth loss dreams so vivid you wake up convinced you’re a jack-o-lantern and that is just who you are now? Imagine my surprise/relief at how all my teeth showed up in my face this morning.

Big same

So, I guess we’re playing this game where maybe it’s asthma, maybe it’s RSV 🙃. Inhalers are like huffing bug spray. Do not like.

TFW you’re so disregulated you bleach everything just to feel safe.

Something about hearing how much more heinous and awful happening to someone else somehow helps put my own shit into perspective ngl

It will never cease amaze me that I had two lovers decide to die on the same exact day, 10 years apart. It conveniently consolidates the grief so I don’t ruin more pristine August days than necessary, but like- of all days James had to pick Adam’s day? Tacky tbh, but here we are. Every fucking year.

The crushing depression that comes with watching your only parent age poorly from lifestyle choices, having it all stack up like a losing game of Tetris when you (the only child) are the least capable of helping them in any way is a special kind of hell that is the most lonely. #greygardenssummer
