it's always a weirdly kinda fun/kinda awful sensation, to feel your body go in the space of a half-hour from "little tired and grumpy" to "oh no this is actually a virus, i'm actually coming down with something"—that rapid slide into realization and then you force down some water and topple into bed

thanks to @charloween.bsky.social tipping me off, i've started watching this insanely fun and dumb HK donghua that's like some hilarious cross between infinite flow, transmigration and…honestly, hentai? it's called #游戏BUG修复中 translated "debug your heart" and it is the MOST fun i've had in a MINUTE
i have now seen Them, the two priest mains, playing cops and robbers! here is my spoiler-free review (as usual it is nitpicky), also i am currently eating a custard bun, you know why mydramalist.com/profile/luna...
on my way to see Them

Tag wot made me laugh: IF SOULMATES THEN WHY IDIOT SHAPED
stray memory: being lost one day up around abiquiú, when i lived in tesuque new mexico, trying to find some hiking trail. winding around on a dirt road, and suddenly looking up and seeing pedernal, unmistakeable, in my rear-view mirror. i thought: the perfect way to see it. and i didn't turn around.
worried about the surf dracula fandom lately, yall okay
Netflix adaptation called Surf Dracula: Nocturne that coyly plays with the original lore of the Surf Dracula franchise but is mostly penned by playwrights and is about the expulsion of the Acadians from maritime Canada.
me when i was a stubborn teenager referring to them snootily as sol, luna, and via lactea, big mad bc it never caught on
My favorite Star Wars fact is that the galaxy doesn’t have a name. That’s good worldbuilding BECAUSE it’s bad worldbuilding! Sometimes you forget to name something or the first person who gets there names it something stupid!! Anyway ours is called the Milky Way and who the fuck allowed that
sdfsdfsdfsdf today I feel extra normal about this little family #ArchiveTheNanyangMystery #ZhangHaiqi #ZhangHailou #ZhangHaixia
imagine someone saying this to you and surviving it: “之前你遇到我, 也算是一种仪式。你知道我的, 你走不出我放不下, 不管你愿不愿意, 我都得拉住你。你躲不掉我的。” "…you know what i'm like—you can't run away, and i'm not going to let you go. like it or not, i'm holding onto you. there's no getting rid of me." DID YOU KNOW LUO WENZHOU INVENTED LOVE

i know this is tendentious but i refuse to call it "political science" don't try to rules-lawyer yourself out of the humanities. i'm sorry if you look at data or demographics and think that makes you an actual scientist, we all do that now? you're not special?

if vosotros don't like "y'all," it's on Ihnen to come up with a second-person plural pronoun ὑμεῖς prefer
Litteraturpristagaren Anne Carson doesn’t give a flying fcuk 🤣
so you know how a thing about me is, i have exiled politics from this account forever? i will never do anything here but talk about The Character and sometimes make you read a poem. but so having said this: WOW THE POLITICS ARE SO AWFUL THEY ARE SO BAD RN. okay back to some little guy and/or beauty!
successfully submitted essay to 9 magazines. also, because i wrote it in blood, i deliberately only picked outlets that actually pay money, not just contributor's copies and their high regard. i think this one might actually find its place, so decided i deserve a few hundred dollars to pay rent with
flat out sobbing about anne carson. in fall 1992 my college girlfriend, also a poet, came running into my room with a copy of yale review. “you’ve got to see this,” she half yelled before shoving it at me. it was “short talks.” then we found eros the bittersweet. and then. maybe the gods do exist.
dreamed about the late mr. quincy, my former service dog. he loved providing services, zoomies, rolling on dead fish on the beach, and hot dogs. i hope he’s running forever in some doggy afterlife. literally the best boy to ever do it.
chat reminded me that i made this helpful diagram at some point. reluctantly impressed by my attention to detail here, also i think i'm right. about where everyone's legs are #jitd
it's taken me 24 hours to figure out that this is either a mistranslation or benjamin didn't know the right word, but the pasta shape should be: spaghetti. they're eating SPAGHETTI with their hands. i know you were all hanging on by a thread, desperate for this information. so everyone can relax now
sometimes (mostly) i don't understand how my "academic" "research" brain is attempting to amass and organize information, i just found this quotation in a folder labeled "spectacle theory" which…i guess…it loosely…is…? but. why. did i save it. for what article
completely buckwild when your therapist turns out to actually have wise thoughts to offer which do in fact change your own thinking and/or thereby your feelings. almost like therapy works or something idk?
