Yes I’m a middle aged woman who hasn’t finished Christmas shopping yet but took a little moment to buy herself this Polly Pocket Stranger Things set WHAT OF IT
Stranger Things set from Polly Pocket. A cool very 80s-looking plastic walkie-talkie which opens up to reveal Hawkins High School and the Byers house on one side, and the upside down on the other side. The kids and a demogorgon are there as lil figurines. As if this won’t look awesome in my office.

Relating very hard to this piece, including the screaming and the pps
It just wasn’t all that cathartic, though. This is why I’ve exploded here today, in a way that may seem undignified and will potentially lose me a few friends but I’m just so tired. I can’t bear to wake up every morning and look at my phone and my computer and feel like I’ve lost my mind. It’s torture. It’s torture! I’m not even that much of an idealist but I guess I assumed that people were better than they actually were, for most of my life, and that’s a horrible realisation to come to because I didn’t exactly think humanity was great to begin with. Turns out I was still being too optimistic! Ha fucking ha! Also, my god: if I’m able to get on my high horse to this extent then we really do have a problem. I really shouldn’t be where the bar is, trust me. I know me pretty well.

Button choice meme: top panel shows two buttons, one labelled ‘cut support for people with disabilities’, the other labelled ‘tax the rich’. A hand hovers over them. Bottom panel shows a guy sweating over which button to hit like it’s a really hard fucking choice. He is the UK government.

I spend more time thinking about grouting than anyone should have to.
Simpsons meme: Homer, aka the simpleton that is me, is enjoying a bath thinking that a tiled floor will be easy to keep clean with two dogs, clay soil and British winter weather. Bart, stands behind him with a chair raised ready to strike. The fucking grouting.
