for we are a nation of shopkeepers

some royal jewels were stolen from the louvre which is unfortunate for historical reasons but you gotta appreciate a classic crime. so many crimes are online these days it’s nice to see heist culture is still alive

the fact that amc's the terror and hbo's chernobyl were airing literally within spitting distance of each other cultural timeline wise never stops being funny to me like from 2018-2019 jared harris was just fully locked in to the role of doomed authority figure in period drama disaster fiction. valery legasov francis crozier same shit different century. there are two constants 1) alcohol and 2) an extended shot of a man sitting alone in a blue toned room with his head in his hands.

Nothing slapped my shit back into place like someone pointing out that the "genius gifted child with so much potential who got burnout and mental illness" is just the nerd equivalent to the jock "could have been a pro at sportsball if it wasn't for the injury".

15000 years ago you and i made sculptures no one else will ever see in a cave that will never be discovered

i hate how any career these days feels like you have to also double as an influencer. maybe i don’t want to be subjected to marketing myself

"you don't owe anyone anything" You are a tar pit. Speak for yourself. I personally owe the cafe employees my dishes put away and my friends a listening ear and small scared insects a cup and a gentle trip outside. Hyperindividualism is a rancid infection borne of capitalism and willfully misinterpreted therapyspeak and I will defy it by continuing to be kind regardless of whether or not it benefits me personally

Call me Ishmael the way I yearn for doomed voyages, the companionship of hunky men and obsessively writing about my special interests.
