you can't predict the thematic twists and turns of my blog

horrible news guys…. i want to be in love

A thing that no one tells you is that when you turn 34, you'll start to have thoughts like 'ooh, it's been a while since I heard Vivaldi's Four Seasons played live by a string quartet,' and 'gosh, maybe this weekend I'll see if there's a string quartet performance of Vivaldi's Four Seasons,' and 'golly, I simply can't get that really twiddly bit of Summer from Vivaldi's Four Seasons out of my head, that man certainly knew how to compose an earworm or two, and it's been stuck in my brain ever since I saw it played live by a string quartet for the fifth time, or possibly the sixth,' and this is a universal experience that happens to everyone the moment they turn 34, 100% of the time, and if you've turned 34 and you think it hasn't happened to you yet, then you're just plain wrong

to really get womens sports to the next level we need to craft teams that are supervillains we need a powerful eternal successful team that also has bad vibes bad energy and is fundamentally evil we need to construct the new york yankees of women

we need to find the beating heart of The Job Market and we need to plunge a holy gleaming blade into it. its the only way to be free

can i say something

if i was a soccer player i'd simply kick that ball in the goal instead of wasting everyone's time

t shirt that just says WHATEVER YOU’RE READING INTO MY FACIAL EXPRESSIONS AND BODY LANGUAGE YOU’RE MISINTERPRETING

that Brian Eno quote about how whatever you find most repulsive about a medium (film grain, record scratches/fuzz, CDs skipping) will be the first thing you try and emulate once that medium is obsolete because it's "the sign of a moment too powerful for the medium assigned to contain it".... man.......

“Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.” -Brian Eno

reblog this and tell me your favorite album written and performed by a woman?

when a woman points out that sports fans hate women and sports leagues hate women and athletes hate women people will often go "just watch women's sports" and it's a stupid fucking response every single time

women should be respected in every single sports space, none of these structural issues are solved by just ... sending them somewhere else + the way people say this always comes across as demeaning; watching womens sports is worthwhile on its own, it shouldn’t be prescribed as exile for women who notice that the wider sports world hates them
