Here it is, the best thing that’s ever happened to me! My first novel, Deep Down, will be published by Little, Brown in spring 2023 😭

there’s a genre of phrases that sound like they’re from the bible or like paradise lost, but really, really aren’t. like “there are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see” which is ofc a jordan peterson tweet about a bottle of evian. what are the others?

this whole cheek removal thing is so stupid because in 9 months time there'll be a tiktok girlie who invents chipmunk core or cherub mode or some shit. boring

heard last night about someone who went on one of those ayahuasca retreats where they prepare you to have an incredible spiritual communion with the universe or whatever, and when he finally took the drug the vision he saw was of his own car telling him to take better care of it

since i read war and peace this one line from when one of them dies in battle is stuck in my head in the worst way, so that whenever anything bad happens to me i think, "how could this happen to me? me, who everyone likes so much?"

thinking about the guy i once found in my bedroom at a house party looking at my bookshelf, who turned to me when i came in and said “an unsurprising selection”. hope he’s dead now x
