Imagine being talented and beautiful and rich and famous and still the most noteworthy thing about you is how good a person you are.

really need them to figure out the exact source of the diarrhea parasite stat, i'm DYING over here having to only eat cooked produce. i'm literally going to pass away if i can't eat a salad within the week. i've never craved a kale slop bowl as badly as i do right now

i keep thinking about sam neill's cows and pigs and the birds he was always feeding and them being like "but where is my strange friend who brings me treats today? why isn't he here?" and getting very sad

Horrible new bullshit from the sea every time. It’s never ‘oh we found a new pink fish that is so happy’ it’s always stuff like this, the crush-depth screw-headed dongwongler, and it’s got to have big long creepy bits. Sick of the ocean tbh.

don't even need to figure out how to watch the game because i can tell from the collective yells of joy and/or disappointment from my neighbors and the street what is going on

i need all the bands i liked in high school to stop going on 25th anniversary tours please i don't have this much time to go to shows and also be reminded of my own mortality

having the weird experience where i'm having a sudden intrusive craving for a certain flavor or something, or like a memory of a smell or something that i know i want, but can't quite figure out exactly what it is. what IS this why does it happen

i love it when the clock strikes 10:30 every morning and the usual sites publish their 3 infuriating news stories that will drive all discourse today like zookeepers raising the enclosure's gate and letting the seals get into the day's bucket of chum

Freelancing is hard enough already, and inflation sucks. Defector is raising our base freelance rates by 20 percent. Great time to pitch us. Email me or pitches@defector.com

I’d like to file a formal complain against the horrible piano cover music that D*lta now blasts when you’re on the tarmac. Please I am only human I can’t take this many TSwift Muzak covers

reading reviews of the new Devil Wears Prada movie and already need to call my therapist without having even seen the film lol

reaching a point of gen z vs millennial discourse where i'm frankly confused bc so many of the gen z things are either just "things young people do" or "things millennials also did when they were 22"??????????
