Why oh why do I insist on reading IMDB episode reviews? It's like part of my brain craves suffering. Just a sea of 'I find this complex female character totally unlikeable', 'ugh this show got WOKE by acknowledging that inequality exists' & 'I didn't understand this ep so it was obviously terrible'

I have 3 pinned ticketmaster emails for things I've got tickets to, absolutely wild levels of 'committing to leaving the house' for me

I swear if there was a sure fire way to make me not want to read a book it would be the 'A Thing of Things and Some Other Thing' title format.

The best thing about Crowd Control is knowing that everyone in the audience signed up for participation, so you don't get that awful moment of 'oh no what if this person is not up for crowd work, or is racist and terrible or something'

Remember a few years back when an angry mob camped outside parliament, harrassed school children, shat everywhere, set the playground on fire and put up a noose to hang members of the government with?

The number of times I've almost-but-not-quite lost important things is starting to freak me out. Somewhere there's a big wheel and one day it's gonna land on 'phone and passport in a country where I don't speak the language'

Today I realised that if I ever need some kind of performative alter ego (drag name, roller derby name etc) I would go with Moiré Rose, I don't care if no one gets it

New Neko Case is also great, it always takes a good 20 listens to properly experience a Neko Case album but the first time did not disappoint.

Though to be fair I can have an existential crisis about anything. I can turn a bowl of porridge into an existential crisis.

Ancient Queer Bickerings @caitlinsnark.bsky.social · 10d

Just remembering when I turned 23 and had an existential crisis at being in my 'mid twenties'

Bless.
