the sunflower and the star

Hate it when my side gig (me existing irl) gets in the way of my main hustle (hanging out with the people on my phone)

marriage is so scary. what if he looks like Alessandro Manzoni

“it isnt something you have to read critically” well 😭

this technically is true but I think this also perfectly encapsulates why I am inherently distrustful of like. “”cozy”” “turn your brain off” fiction lmfao. like okay WHO gets to turn their brain off and who has to suffer through bigoted caricatures of themselves while everyone else is having cozy silly no brain time 😐

one thing about me is that i automatically address everyone with formal lei even when context has everyone using informal tu and i can't stop

Polycules should be able to trade people like sports teams do

Listen -- you're a good defender and your pussy is fantastic, but that's not what our team needs right now. We're trading you to Greater Boston in exchange for someone who has a car.

i was such a weird lonely little girl and maybe i grew to be a weird lonely woman but idc i built this life for myself and maybe it doesn’t always make sense to others and maybe isn’t always easy or beautiful but it is mine and i cherish it

One thing I truly don't have patience for is Italian Americans complaining about the fact that under this government it's become harder for some them to get Italian citizenship... I've genuinely seen people being like "Meloni killed jus sanguinis 😭" BRO I WISH

Blood being the main qualifier for citizenship is a plight on earth and must be destroyed. I don't care about the Tonys from new jersey if Ahmed from Rome and Wei Wei from Prato can't get their citizenship <3

bigger italian cities are somewhat used to the overtourism by now but i cannot describe the feeling of being from a smaller city and watching it change from people in your own country barely acknowledging its existence at all to exploding with tourism so fast you can watch the place you were born and raised in your entire life completely change face beyond recognition in real time by the day and push citizens further and further back to the margins

the flesh putrefies, the machine rusts, and the divine corrupts, and so the rot remains supreme

how's a bitch supposed to stay sane while their country and its cities get turned into a fucking playground where it's more common to hear casual english than italian

I'm tired of souvenir shops at every corner selling godfather socks I'm tired of spritz and cappuccino at lunchtime I'm tired of hearing "ciao! so we're getting.." I'm tired of singers making hand gestures at a crowd and the crowd erupting I'm tired of freezing aircon temps of black fridays of halloween I'm tired of ridiculous land sales I'm tired I'm so fucking tired of having to read "english required" everywhere and I'm tired of anglos of yankees of your inescapable tongue and of everyone of us crawling and twisting themselves to accommodate you I'm tired and sick of it all and I'm gonna throw up

i will personally never understand that thing people do when theyre like "i thought this was a good piece of art until i realised its fetish/pornographic" like why does art lose value if the artist was a little horny when they made it. why is that so scary. im sure a lot of the old masters were doing portraits of their lovers slightly bricked up & theyre still displayed in museums. why is sexual arousal not an acceptable source of inspiration when like every other emotion is. well i mean i know why sadly but i do not like it so i'll continue to complain about it
