I feel like one of the biggest comprehension gaps at the moment is between those of us who think that big companies fuck everything up and are just basically a Bad Thing (because our only dealings with them are as "customers") and...

Ha! A meeting that could've been an email to cinema.
Never an airplane letter to TV miniseries.
Or a love letter to epistolary novels.

I never learned to play an instrument as a kid. I have been trying to teach myself to play the guitar for years now and it’s so harrrd. Please I don’t want tips, just acknowledgment that it’s hard and potentially embarrassing when you’ve started seeing a musician

The doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Google the golden ratio, also known as the divine proportion. That should pick you up."

working on a freelance project where the client demands top security so I’m not allowed to use my own computer. The agency just sent me this ffs. It looks like straight out of 1999, it’s dirty, it’s cracked in three places and it has one of those little red clits

to think that my last amazon purchase probably helped finance the Melania film is enough to never use them again

was privileged enough to go to an advanced screening, and don't believe what the critics are saying - MELANIA is a triumph.
