happy 40th bday to les mis (the musical in english)... but more importantly it is almost the 100th bday of henri fescourt's 1925 les mis film and i would really really like pathé to finally release the 2014 restoration of it on dvd

i do not want to revise german verbs and i do not want to ever be reminded of being 16

Chloe Wilcox @sadpphicstanza.bsky.social · 1d

i hate that every time i open quizlet it's like "wow remember that time you did alevels? or gcses (kinda)? do u wanna revise some german verbs?"

Chloe Wilcox @sadpphicstanza.bsky.social · 1d

sure, close enough

google search for "mask of anarchy". one shopping result is a copy of the poem on abebooks, the next is a "futuristic helmet" on amazon, and the third is a 99p phantom of the opera mask.

just learned about the paradoxical frog (yes, that’s its real name), which is so named because the tadpoles are bigger than the adult frogs. can you imagine if we had giant babies that turned into regular-sized adults? wild

(and because “struggles to transition between tasks” is my middle name, i also have to spend like 10 minutes staring into space before initiating each step of this process)

Chloe Wilcox @sadpphicstanza.bsky.social · 5d

i would love to learn how to build weird skates and make replicas of early skates... sounds expensive and time-consuming and dangerous though so i'll stick to my beloved moxi beach bunnies for now...
