I am crying at a film about shoes

I have such a storied history with Born Slippy, but it is so much more than heroin

I know I shouldn't be surprised by an algorithm delivering the content I enjoy, but Satan by Orbital makes my hair tingle

My flat mostly smells of Camembert, which is reminiscent of an unrefrigerated morgue

It is almost impossible to convey how I don't go outside because of the fear that I might kill someone but I can't trust myself to not kill myself because of the guilt

My daughter got a short pixie crop haircut, very Betty Boop, and I told her that she is full lesbianist now, she agreed and I couldn't be prouder. She's 23, there aren't safeguarding issues lol

The Sundays made beautiful music. That used to be a thing.

So now I'm crying listening to the Sundays and remembering how I used to be a person

I know that nobody asked, but Billie Eilish is very talented, has an awkward relationship with her brother, and clearly listened to the Sundays at least once

I can't express how Rudimental is like slipping into an old armchair. I have a subwoofer and disgruntled neighbours.

I cried a bit. Thank you

Why is it never ladies posting thirst traps? I fully respect a gentleman's need to entice a prospective partner, but I like lady bits.

My tears are now an irritant, which makes being a mental very uncomfortable.

Am I a monster for indoctrinating my daughter into the understanding that Solid Air is the greatest human creation of all time? (She titled her first music college piece Solid Air v.2 and I cannot express how proud I am).

There was a time when battering hate criminals was all the rage. Now it's frowned upon. Apparently.

I have yet to identify exactly what form of mental I am, but I played 300 hours of Starfield and now can't touch my computer.

I really like Starfield but it is shit. Self loathing is a costume we wear in London. No idea what that means but it felt very 18th century and silk jacket

Women that are apparently younger than my daughter are referencing the Young Ones and I am so proud that my generation didn't entirely fail

So now I'm gay. I shall have to buy soft furnishings. All very inconvenient.

I do think that "ladies who do pen stuff" would make a fortune on only fans, but that was entirely not my point. People doing things appears to be a dying sport. Thank you for doing a thing.

Watching a YouTube video I am reminded of the utter joy I felt when I got a floppy drive for my BBC master. It was built like a tank and delivered all of it's kilobytes like a champ. Yes I was a spoiled autistic boy

I always slightly overfill my soda stream bottles because I still believe in rick and roll

There are few people who look like me, so I just like those nearby to flourish. All the languages almost make me want to go outside. Wrote a poem about it once.

I have a beautiful neighbour who I cannot understand (she is deaf) and we apparently bring each other joy.

I don't mean to diminish anyone for posting a thirst trap.

I'd probably entertain an elderly scrofulitic badger were he kind to me.

Badgers hit me up in the dms...

That a human created that makes everything better. Sorry, I know you are more than just a human, but dear lord I ought to stop messaging random ladies who do pen stuff. Gods that sounds even worse when I read it back. Not assuming anything, sorry.

Today's gay thirst traps are actually ripped and could probably turn me. So there's that.

Also, Bjork is doing some rather wonderful soundscaping that I did not expect. Absolutely would btw

I just listened to glory box by portishead and it is the most erotic song I have ever heard. I always had that song in my background but never listened
