I don't want a girl. I want a woman. Someone with scars, who's felt pain and bounced back, and appreciates being slowly fingertip traced.

Me: Why does my phone keep changing campus to Camus?

Phone: There is no higher purpose in life.

Me: You could at least stop misspelling words.

Phone: *long drag on cigarette* There is no meaning. Duck yoor speeling.

Me: Is that a beret?

Phone: Oui.

Moby Dick @mobydickatsea.bsky.social · 2h

Beneath the unclouded and mild azure sky, upon the fair face of the pleasant sea, wafted by the joyous breezes, that great mass of death floats on and on, till lost in infinite perspectives.

the trick is to let it happen, not make it happen.

some things may not be reclaimed, like memories of wonderment and misplaced comfort, but new things happen, like filthy amounts of rum and the promise of a new beginning.

Life will do everything to make you hard. But true courage is to stay open. When you keep your heart tender, when you don't allow life to harden you, only then you can evolve, grow, only then you can call yourself brave.

Miniature, geographically-accurate US recreation in South Dakota, however big it needs to be so I can put my foot in the Grand Canyon.

A King Tut tomb for when I die (I always wanted to be mummified!).

A swimming pool that's miniature Mediterranean so I can stage ancient sea battles.

I have more.

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

oh, what’s this about a feather duster, she says, smiling lasciviously
