Yeah, you have to be at least this cool, I think, for it to work.

It’s fine. London taught me how to enjoy and exist in cities, after years of having lived in one doing the concept no favors. It deserves a little melancholy.

What do you call homesickness, for a place you’ve only visited? I never feel whatever that is more than when I see photographs of places I’ve been in London. A tiny heartbreak every time.

I feel like there would be exponentially fewer drug related mishaps if honest, non-judgmental, and clear guidance on drug interactions was easier to find. Instead it’s 70% moralizing, 25% complete bullshit, and If you’re lucky there’s an answer to your god damn question in the back 5.

Forget that Wiccan 3 times rule; that’s silly and arbitrary. The actual advice is you should only curse someone if you’d feel completely above board explaining it to them after the fact.

Corollary advice: just let the fucker curse themself.

Honestly my view is kind of that if someone curses you to experience karma and it goes badly for you, that’s not really on them.

The single worst thing about the concept of “being psychically attacked” is that it leads to people looking karma dead in the eye and going “some nebulous other person is cursing me.”

I never thought to ask what Paul McCartney doing Lil’ Kim would be like, and yet listening to “Wood” I see that Taylor Swift has the answer.
