this elegy would love to save everything

cake is such an underappreciated band. i can’t believe we brought back low rise flare jeans before we brought back cake in the top 40

i’m just saying cake’s music would be widely regarded as so sexy if it wasn’t for all the mariachi horns and vibraslap and the vocalist didn’t always sound like he was explaining his suicide plans to a gun store clerk in sacramento. the world wasn’t ready for them

The fact that it sounds like a dispassionate reading of a terrorist manifesto is a feature

This was genuinely what it was like growing up in New Agey circles btw, my mum's friends would come round like "So I went out to the woods this weekend and fasted and meditated and I had a vision of the Sacred Stag and all my guardian angels and I asked them how to find love and they said that I need to focus on my own healing first and stop repeating cycles of the past" and then the very next week it'd be like "So I'm back with James again" girl..... the Sacred Stag could not have been more clear....

What erroneous belief from ages 5-6 still haunts you I'll go first: I used to whole-heartedly believe that soap spigots on sinks held extremely hot water and that I'd burn my hands if I used them. To this day I still have a frisson of fear when I get soap from one

One of my older cousins once told me that the end of a banana was poisonous and I would scrupulously throw away the bottom half inch every time 😭😭

remember that guy that had a single auditory hallucination that told him he had a brain tumor and the exact location and then he went to the doctor and it was fucking right

getting kicked off love island for just swimming in the pool and not talking to anyone

This reminds me of my corsetmaker days when i found myself searching for "extra thick boning."

Grace at 3 am with what’s left of his sleep deprived brain struggling: hot buns this is the best essay I’ve read all year. I’m giving this student two stars
