happy 4th to her

scalloped potatoes that take the pain away

beef that makes you someone it didn't happen to

in law school, my mom took me to this stress retreat because my family was vaguely aware i was a suicide risk. and they didnt allow phones, so i brought this huge bag of books. and one of the options for "destressing" was this fake cave grotto thing, where they'd decorated a room to make it look exactly like an underground cave and the air was like -10 degrees, but there was a like 4ft deep pool in the middle that was kept super super hot, so you would just switch between the hot and cold. and they would bring you an endless supply of this weird syrupy drink thing that was like super caffeinated and tasted like sugar and mint. and so i spent multiple days sitting half submerged in this fake grotto drinking mystery liquid and reading. and i have to be honest i really did feel less stressed

i think abt anne rice’s answer to “what are your work habits for a novel?” probably every single day

The UK gets a new prime minister just whenever. Completely random intervals

It may seem random but it’s actually not! We get a new prime minister after the previous one enters a protective chrysalis after a period of relentless eating and growing, and they then dissolve into a biological soup. They then reform into the new adult prime minister. It really beautiful to see 🥰

I've seen a lot of posts over the years about accidentally staying up until 3 AM reading a slow-burn fic on AO3 just waiting for them to touch pinkies, but I never see posts about my AO3 experience, which is going to bed tired and falling dead asleep in the middle reading of the most intense unhinged dick-slobbering ass-pounding fuckfest imaginable. Is that just me?

i mean. i fall asleep in the middle of the fuckfest if it has successfully served its purpose !

no one is worth not transitioning over
