bring back humorism imo. you have too much black bile, that’s why you’re so annoyed by this.
seriously though you can just say you're chasing "pleasure" (dopamine is not synonymous with pleasure!!)
I see a lot of you talking about "dopamine" and I wish you'd go back to talking about your astrological signs because at least then you wouldn't be confusing yourself about a real thing
Everyone needs to go sit down somewhere quiet and just read a book for a while.
If you see 2 pairs of footprints in the sand and they suddenly give way to a single pair, that is when I stopped playing with your severed feet and tossed them into the ocean never to be found

Hey, today's life advice is to go somewhere without your phone. You'll be okay. People used to do it all the time. Report back and tell me what you discovered.
Tricking myself into writing by pretending to write. Making notes for novels I’ll likely never write. Lying in the garden, ill but okay, reading The Magic Mountain when I’m supposed to be reading The Veldt Institute. Now posting instead. Sunny, warm but cooler, as the breeze gadabouts the bushes.
best bit advice for submitting fiction to @minorliteratures.bsky.social is the one fewest people follow: know what we publish and don't just send whatever cos it's open ... recent pieces here: minorliteratures.com/category/fic...
