Just wrote about twenty tiny poems in the bath. Iām still unsure whether that makes the bath good value for money but certainly valuable in a foreign currency.

watched the film 'Fried Green Tomatoes' at my local film club for the first time last night. truly a wildly madcap film, and extremely of its time. i can't imagine anything similar being made today. gratifyingly pretty much passed the Bechdel test too

the cruelty of the way part of the reason for expressing through poetry is owing to feelings of outsiderness n then it comes to publishing n it all feels like a terrifying personal popularity competition

What struck me most about the Manosphere doc is that a lot of these men probably donāt believe in their own rhetoric ā theyāre just desperately trying to find a way to make a buck in a f***ed up system.

Feel like the poems I pour the most into and feel most satisfied with are the most rejected/unliked. So, the lesson is maybe try less. And care less?

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase āaccused him without evidenceā no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory āhasnāt been formally charged.ā

toptip for men: if you want to reach out, you can just say something like 'hey, it's been a while. how are you?' You do not need to pretend like you accidentally 'found' my number & have no idea why you're messaging to tell me you're not sure who i am or why i'm in your phone
