i find a few of them actually irritating, most, bland to the point of forgettable, and even sabrina doesn’t save the title for me. 2 stars. literally the worst thing she’s ever done.

i was very happy about this and midnights because they seemed tight and labor intensive but where midnights is all bangers, this maybe should have sat on the stove and reduced for another year. there were two whole albums last year for goodness sake!

i’m sad that i never got any of them. was it at least fun? that particular overlap made more sense to me than several of the others.

i work sooooo much but i used to be able to say shit like “the square over the ceiling is fucking pristine, babe” and that’s what sobriety took from us.

you will have solved me and unlocked my intracontinental bath bomb trebuchet network if you figure out the precise four-song ep i think you can pull from that record.

i’ve had british chicken. it was better, but it’s still like eating [no choice]

emily moonlight @threnody.bsky.social · 1h

being a vegetarian has always been easy for me because i only miss white trash meats i had when i was a kid: steak-ummms & arby’s & sausage gravy & pepperoni. but some days i’d give everything for 5 beef & cheddars that hit how they did when the meth wore off & i realized i hadn’t eaten all week.

nature fact: the unfertilized egg of share bear is a four-millibar xanax but you have to lady and the tramp it with a friend.

you can join my group chat where we grouse about middle aged stuff like the four cathy secretaries on kids in the hall—who were in their prime when you were a teenager because I’M ONTO YOU.

oh but also chicken is a massive disappointment of a meat and i can’t imagine saying “something must die for my tummy” and picking that. eat a condor if you just want to kill something. make it count. or pick a better meat. like arby’s.

(i’m serious: i used to love arby’s)

“clod” is right where i decided this whole “li’l rascal what could barely rent a car if she had to” thing is a sham and you’re actually older than me. which is neat

furious to learn they do not seem to make a bedtime bear after i talked myself into taking a full ambien (which might fit!) every night just for the sake of whimsy. what would i do? have kafka dreams with grumpy bear? counteract the pill with funshine?
