The illiterate is just like the blindfolded – misfortune and bad luck awaits him everywhere.
by Aleksei Aleksandrovich Radakov (1920)

"girl dinner is when you don't eat teehee" "men think about the roman empire women think about their ex best friends and poetry" "✨sapphic love✨ is so pure and innocent and sweet unlike nasty gross Man Lust" "girl math is when you can buy starbucks and makeup because you didn't buy it yesterday so it's free" "I'm going to explain (complex topic) for the girlies! so basically it's like when you go shopping-" "I love women because they're so soft and smooth and feminine and we can talk about girly things and they're not sweaty or hairy or horny like gross men" "women should be unemployed girls don't need jobs men should do all that for us" "ugh girls that don't like pink or being feminine just need to stop being such pick mes and get over their internalized misogyny it's gross"
god save my hairy dyke ass from this hell before I start whacking people's shins with my Girl Baseball Bat. teehee!
“Ah! my darling, it’s not me who kills the time which separates me from you, it’s the time that kills me. Your dear eyes, your serious look, your beautiful smile… I persist after you. Let life flow again, at least. And may this reunion be quick, and exhilarating. I love you. I wait for you impatiently. And I kiss you, my tender one, softly.”
— Albert Camus to Maria Casarès, Correspondance, February 27, 1950 [#217]
from Leonard Cohen’s final letter to his dying muse, Marianne Ihlen
i may have a tiny problem with expressing my emotions
the renewed hipster movement that will come out of this is going to be so good. last time we saw the rise of the arthoes… sadly halted by covid. i don’t think it’s going to be indie sleaze like most say, it had a small resurgence but it’s over. i think it’s going to go in a twee direction for girls. not a full on recreation of the movement but definitely idolising the 60s, especially france. very twee but edgier than it was during the zoe deschanel era… maybe the girls are going to find out about Alexa Chung again.
might just finally give up and download hinge. I’m tired of men just staring at me. TALK TO ME FOR FUCK’S SAKE.
