I don’t have a bookmark problem. You have a bookmark problem.

Also, it’s not a problem until I run out of space, and I can cram all of these into that mug with room to spare.

Prisencolinensinainciusol - Wikipedia

The former writing instructor in me is agog that they included β€œPrisencolinensinainciusol” in the Olympic opening ceremonies. It’s supposed to be what English sounds like to someone who didn’t speak it. I used to show it all the time.

Dramatically swooning is definitely on my bucket list. I must try it some day.

Oh hey - this thing exists. Post election I’ve been disconnecting from social media, for the betterment of my mental health. But I may try engaging here more and see how that goes. I mean - not all of humanity is shit. Right? … Right??

Thank you! If she were a human then all of her symptoms fit having anxiety. I hope that’s all it is and that I can hook her up with some doggy Prozac (which I believe is just regular Prozac lol). 🀞🏻

It’s like my heart was pulled out of my body and wrapped up in fur. ❀️ This girl hasn’t felt good lately but she has discovered that getting progressively closer to me helps. I hate not knowing what is wrong and I’m happy to comfort her anyway I can. 🐢

It’s so good but also a hard read. β€œHow to Tell a True War Story” was really impactful to me as a young writer.

I think about the scene on the highway all the time, especially the ads they saw. We’re living it.

Yes! Same. I did some but was in school and definitely didn’t have much time for it. It’s just so rich and there are a lot of layers.

How’s everyone else managing their existential dread and impending sense of doom? I’m sinking countless hours into following YouTube Procreate tutorials. It’s been a lot of fun and the tutorials make me look like I know what I’m doing.

Same. My parents wouldn’t let me see the movie when it came out. I told them I already read the book, which is always more graphic. πŸ˜‚
