i was afraid i'd eat your brains. || the thirst podcast: https://linktr.ee/thethirst occasional words: aprylhm.substack.com letterboxd: https://boxd.it/1deSx

insane that letterboxd hasn’t developed the ability to allow you to mute reviews of particular films (yes this is about nathan fielder)

so mentally effed and fed up of everything and everyone but channelling it into the important stuff ie trying to discern which converge record is objectively the best (‘you fail me’?! ‘jane doe’?!?!?!?!)

saw john kearns’ new show last week, & in amongst all of the very funny yet profound things he covered, i cannot stop thinking about the 18th birthday video & the notion that every piece of culture you liked at that age, you will still like now.

vomiting after a moderately stressful family gathering at which you have to confront everyone’s mortality…paging dr freud!!!!

really like the odd specificity of someone taking a vigdis hjorth book from our hotel room (of all the things you could steal!!)

assorted dutch observations 24 hours in: nobody wears sunglasses, or has tattoos(?!); can’t believe cars actively stop to let you cross the road; insane country of smokers; didn’t know ”coffee” shops were allowed outside of amsterdam; unbelievable number of cockerpoos everywhere.

love the NHS, obviously, but i spent all of this summer grappling with a crohn’s flare and i have to tell you: having a 2 minute long phone call with your consultant- after two scans/scopes, one of which you were hoping for results from- does not feel like good, adequate care!!!

<whispers> too much discussion about phoebe bridgers’ leg hair and not enough chat about how her forehead and top lip are now botox frozen.

converge’s JANE DOE is twenty five years old today and is still absolutely PEERLESS. thank you for melting my adolescent brain and changing my life completely!!!!

spinning a lot of plates at the moment but it's reassuring to know that the one thing that IS going to inevitably break me will be the sheer amount of fruit flies that seem to have infiltrated my house.
