The great outdoors? You know the indoors are good too. The indoors have a lot of qualities I took for granted actually. I’m down to stay inside, I might prefer it maybe

While I can’t sing, I still think it’s fair at least to call me a bass. Like that is my range, and if there was ever a musical draft, a vocal range lottery, everything I ever did do will converge to one fateful wheat field, as I hold back a baritone brigade

It’s weird listening to grouper during the day, outside of sleep playlists. Like damn now I can listen to the loud songs. Let’s blast Heavy Water. Turn up Cloud in Places

They’re saying I’m a disaster at opening mail. They’re saying no one has ever done it as badly as I’ve done it

I like to set my New Year’s resolution for the year on the last day, I like to intend to do exactly what I’ve already done

I’ve listened to the natural bridge maybe 2000 times, and the god stays up all night lyric finally hit. It was always so obvious I never really noticed it #musicsky

Does anyone remember how in #Hoboken there used to be a road between Willow and Clinton? Maple Ave it was called. Well I was there earlier today, and it’s gone and Willow is next to Clinton now. They must have dug it up in the night, but it was there yesterday. I signed a lease for a place there

Like we have a water system and an electric grid, we should have a pipe organ grid, where you can turn on an f# spigot to hear a deep droning hum. You wake up in the night to a g leak in your walls, and it feels like an earthquake

When you buy a couch, they laugh at you. They have warehouses full of couches they can’t get rid of, and they have to, there’s more couches coming. Only people who’ve moved to different states know just how unwanted perfect couches are

It’s dog hot today. I want to sit on a cold steel chair. I want to melt on silk sheets. My air barely works. Im reduced to a slug.
I see a water bug in my apartment. I get it man.
I plead for it.
There’s not much here for you-, go home.
It doesn’t
I slouch towards raid

I just turned on the light, and you turned your head towards it. That’s the moth in you. You haven’t lost your “moth sense” so to say

I don’t think you can truly get the value of a beaver until you’ve been majorly inconvenienced by an insignificant river. Like you would assume rivers are solved, but we really haven’t moved past the Oregon Trail in our ability to deal with them. Beavers, they have solved rivers

When I’m in manhattan I have this habit where when I hear music, I always walk towards it and try to find the source - like I’m in some kind of rpg. If anyone wants to rob me, this is the best way btw

lindy_yimby: I don’t think tap water should be free. It should cost the same as cold cuts. It should be privatized and cost the same per pound as roast beef, $20

Guy who moved from Greenpoint to Ridgewood: “the years, after all, have a kind of emptiness when we spend too many of them on a foreign shore. We defer the reality of life until a future moment when we again breathe our Greenpoint air. But, by and by, there are no future moments”

How can we trust you anymore, Peter? So tell me, is there even really a greater hidden society of uncs, with thousands of troops like ours, spread out across the globe? You smirked. You’re lying. We’re your only troop of uncs
