age regressing by 5 minutes so i can remember what i was just asked to do

saying "question mark?" and "however comma," out loud are game changers. punctuation on the go. and it's always the funniest thing that anyone around you has ever heard

the thing about being "good with kids" is all it takes is literally just not trying to control and mould them with every interaction. it's just being a normal person and engaging with them through normal interactions like having conversations and playing games. it's just being genuine and friendly and not perceiving them as lumps of wet clay you are there to shape. "oh you're so good with kids" thanks it's because I think they are people

god imagine being a normal server at cafe contigo. first the owner’s son’s famous baseball player best friend is a murder suspect who gets outed in the investigation and winds up on national news. then once that’s over one of the other former suspects starts working there. her sister’s engagement party to the lawyer that exonerated them all gets bombed by a guy who was working with both siblings of yet ANOTHER one of your coworkers. then a third coworker, who has been living a false identity this whole time, kidnaps the second coworker and ties her up in her apartment—twice—and then shoots the guy who committed the original murder (her secret half-brother) before running away. also every single person involved in this shitshow plus their whole family and all their friends are regulars at that cafe and they routinely commandeer giant tables to talk loudly about their illicit investigations. how would you not spend your entire shift eavesdropping. no wonder bayview had like thirty gossip pages revolving around one group in particular

goodbye $200 helloooo 3 groceries

don't be mean to yourself that's you

you live there

noah kahan's the great divide is like. what if you died and came back wrong but the "death" was you leaving your hometown and the "came back wrong" is the change in the way everyone, including your own parents, perceives you even when you do return and the relationships that have been soured by your absence

rereading point mouette as an adult is so funny cause as a kid any attempts at foreshadowing completely went over my head and all of a sudden i can see it and it's like every other page

you dont get how refreshing anne of green gables is like yes sometimes you really must imagine there are dryads combing their hair in the woods and little girls in the cupboard who love you and places called the lake of shining waters and lovers lane and be glad you live in a world where there are october’s and be full of love and wonder and whimsy and imagination
