wah-wah

I especially like when the person hating is a talentless hack moron AND they write a scathing review of a writer I dislike. I had a great time with andrea long chu’s review of a little life, for example

I’m following twin sisters on instagram who seem to be having a competition about who can have the most serious medical issues (sister A has cluster headaches so she looked to be winning but then sister B got into a car crash and had to relearn how to walk) and who can have the most traumatic childbirth (sister B I honestly don’t remember because she got married and had a kid first, kid has palsy but apparently he’s fine, sister A just had an emergency C section). they also compete for personal tragedies (sister B had to put down her beloved horse but sister A had a miscarriage, winner unclear). it’s always something with them. both their parents are prominent new york attorneys so they’re loaded

trying to find a book club in berlin to expand my horizons or whatever, my only criteria is I want to read novels not theory because I am stupid. I’ve found one that reads romantasy and a few others that all seem to exclusively read books about stalin. what’s the best book about stalin

my impression before going in was that in the common law system the lawyers just dick around until the day before the first day of the hearing, at which point they stay up until 4 am filing everything, and for this excellent service they charge their clients a bazillion dollars. from what I’ve been able to observe, this is absolutely correct

overheard a guy refer to a girl as a “chick” like it’s 2003

it’s crazy that australia is just normal to australians I feel like I’m in bizarro england

it’s hard to see the beauty in the place you grew up that said I definitely grew up in the ugliest shithole in the country

ok gotta say australia is great but I don’t think they know how much they live in lalaland. oh no too many skilled workers want to come to our beautiful island paradise and contribute to our economy guys do you hear yourselves lmfao. like in europe we’ve at least got real problems

I want to write a history and review of ripperologist literature to answer the question: why is all of it so wrong and ass? but I don’t know how to do that. I consider not knowing how to write a book to be a deterrent from doing it, as such I will never make a successful ripperologist

one of my biggest struggles in life is that the english bookshops in city where I live are always full of dross and the secondhand bookshops are equally full of dross so I have to buy everything new and often on amazon like I can’t browse at all. been going a bit insane in the secondhand bookshops here, I need to chill out buying books they’ll make my case too heavy !!!!

any time a man flirts with me I think he’s trying to trick me, I have this genuine mental block that stops me from believing he means it. obviously this isn’t making finding a husband any easier

someone who kind of knows me a bit said to me hey a lot could change in 3 years you could be married by then. I don’t think I want a conventional life like marriage homeownership children etc but I also don’t like not want it but for some reason I think it’s out of my reach due to some unspecified thing that’s wrong with me. I really am in a prison of my own making fr because this person at least thinks that marriage is possible for me. bruh anyway how cringe
