Deleriously happy to be back home
Last night I dreamt of failure, rejection, judgement. My favourite.
Staying with my original bully, feeling unsafe, even with a family of bodyguards.
After scrolling TikTok for hours in a menopausal haze, I attempted to start a new book. I skimmed pages, thinking “get to the point already” before realising what I was doing. This is likely happening to an entire generation of people. Not mine, I hasten to add. But a lot of us too I’m sure.
Why did no one tell me about Inside No. 9? Well thank you, because I have 9 seasons to catch up on!
Society may be collapsing but my 16yo son and his friend have been spending their lunch money this week on exotic fruits at a local market so the kids are okay (I think?)
No snuff clips in my feed please *curtsies in ptsd*
If you’re just driving by flags on lampposts without taking them down, why?
Calling the short story genre the TikTok of literature is one of my best ideas 16yo immediately shot down.
Flooded? First of all, you don’t know the nationality or religion of anyone in that hotel. Secondly, there are far fewer asylum seekers in the UK right now than anywhere in Europe. And finally, it’s people like you who are the nut jobs, harassing people who have done nothing to you.
They really gave Meghan Markle a second series.
Weapons was very good. Strange, terrifying, funny, gross - everything a horror should be.
We went to all ages gigs when I was a teen. You had a different coloured bracelet to show you couldn’t drink but otherwise there was no difference. I’m glad I had those experiences and I’m glad I can take my son to see live music now.
There’s no circumstance in which she should not lose custody of that child.
If Canada’s national treasure says we’re fucked then we are fucked.
And Just Like That has more cringe per second than any reboot I have ever watched, but I can’t stop watching it.
“Some viewers may find this footage distressing” as the media proceeds to play the fucking footage on every conceivable platform. Ghouls.
Did you know that Jason Schwartzman was a Coppola? I’m starting to wonder if maybe I’m a Coppola. Anyway I loved The Last Showgirl.
I’m finding this new series of Race Across the World especially touching. Everyone is so lovely and open to growth.
BEDTIME

I have a tiny wee headache.

Oh dear. I hope you aren’t dying.

Sorry?

I said I hope you feel better soon.

Except that’s not what you said, is it?

It’s what I meant.

(In my defence I read an article. Or maybe it was a TikTok. People with headaches can die in their sleep ok?) (Goodnight)
What do you think cats make of our laughter?
I have been on my own for the past four days and what’s that word for when you can’t remember how to relate to other humans in your space? I am that way.
Help there’s no one to tell me to put the phone down and go to sleep
