Every day it’s a new thing

Meme of Chris Fleming saying “OK was anybody going to tell me that Idris Elba is a musician / or was I just supposed to see him on the lineup for the Riyadh Music Festival myself?”

you are kidding yourself if you carry a flickering lantern along the winding path through the dark woods and think that the approaching thunderous hoofbeats signal the arrival of anyone other than the inimitable headless horseman

Life is so hard nowadays. I yearn for the 90’s, when the worst problem facing society was businessmen neglecting their families, a problem that a simple magical curse could fix in less than a week’s time

Me: sometimes I stay up all night and I don't go to bed. It's called "bonus time".

My loved ones: no it's not.

everybody’s jealous of me since I decided to get plastic surgery to have Cuttlefish skin. they‘re resentful because I camouflage myself as a brick wall or a gorseberry bush in order to steal their croissants off their plates at cafes. I’ve never felt so beautiful

I'm feeling kinda depressed lately but I'm not sure why. Maybe if I do a mental checklist of everything going wrong in my life I'll get to the bottom of this. Wait. Oh no. Never could have anticipated this but that actually made it worse

I believe that we should be afforded the same grace and dignity in death that we gave our perceived enemies in life. So when I die, you can talk SO much shit. Just roast the hell out of me

no, CBC has the rights to it so I can't post it myself I can only promote it (and post what clips they give me)

Isabel Zaw-Tun @izzyzaw.bsky.social · 22d

oh dang, I thought because it's JFL it would have international reach! That makes me sad. There are clips on their Instagram like this one: www.instagram.com/cbcgem/reel/...

CBC Gem on Instagram: "Isabel Zaw-Tun loved every second of giving birth Watch @isabelzawtun’s full set in the latest season of The New Wave of Standup, now streaming on CBC Gem 🎤"

ALSO they cut my favorite line from the set, because it criticized British colonialism. In case you're wondering why I'll never be famous (set is still great tho)
