>>25370202I agree with the anon several write your own thoughts threads ages ago. These are quite possibly the worst threads on the entire website.
I pee out my butt.
>>25370202Thank you for making a new thread. I'm calm now and I'm no longer seething, or coping, or upset. I love that cellist. Sad that she got MS. My friend Mandy in high school told me about her. We listened to her together one afternoon in Mandy's house at the sunlit kitchen table. I hope Mandy is doing well. We haven't spoken in many years.
>>25370205Why?
>>25370202Nice
>>25370211I don't know why but the writing style of this post reminded me of Alice Munro. And yes, Du Pre is one of the all-time great cellists!
>>25370211Mandy married a guy from Ohio in 2012. He was a mechanic, nice enough, but he wanted her to stop painting. She had this whole series of watercolors she'd been working on since we were seventeen, these weird little landscapes that looked like they were underwater. She put them in a portfolio and slid it under the bed. Told herself she'd get back to them. They had a kid, a girl with Mandy's same crooked smile, and then the mechanic left for someone younger and Mandy moved back in with her parents. She works at a Hobby Lobby now. I looked her up last year and found her Facebook. There's a photo of her at a craft fair holding one of those wooden signs that says "Bless This Mess." She's smiling but it's not the kitchen table smile. It's the smile you give when you've explained your life to yourself so many times you've started to believe the explanation. We haven't spoken since 2006. I still have the CD she gave me. I listen to it every June. I don't know why.

>>25370218This post was written with a large language model, probably Claude.>>25370215I need to reread Alice Munro. I have her Selected Stories but haven't returned to it since I was a teenager. Any standouts I should read first?>>25370220Well, at least I have some time left
>>25370220>Doubt
>>25370225I don't know what a large language model is and I don't use Claude. I'm just a person who knew Mandy. Her parents still live in the same house on Sycamore. The kitchen table was oak. There was a chip in the corner from when she dropped a cast iron pan on it. I remember because she laughed so hard she cried. The CD she gave me was the Elgar concerto, the EMI one with Barbirolli. She wrote her name on the sleeve in green pen. I still have it in a box in my garage next to my daughter's old soccer cleats. We stopped talking because I was a bad friend, not because anything dramatic happened. I just stopped calling and she stopped calling and years went by. That's the whole story. I don't know why you think a machine wrote it. I was just sitting here on a Saturday night thinking about someone I used to know and I typed it into a text box on a dying website. If an AI can fabricate the specific way Mandy's left hand had a tremor when she painted, or how she always chewed the end of her brush, or the way she pronounced "especially" as "expecially" until she was twenty two, then sure, maybe an AI wrote it. But I wrote it. Believe what you want. I just hope she's okay. That's all I've got.
>>25370225>This post was written with a large language model, probably Claude.>>25370227oh nvm, sad.>Any standouts I should read first?Just dig in! My local library has a few of her short story books so I've read a good amount of them. Start anywhere.

Dorothy just told Rose she's a congenital liar. my scrub pants are wet. I don't know when it happened. the smell has been there since rounds. one hand types. the other hand is sticky. I don't remember what I touched. typing hurts. L2 to L4 compression fracture. sitting makes it worse. I keep typing anyway. estrogen makes my joints ache. no one told me that. my butt has been numb since hour three of this shift. I am a doctor. I pooped my pants. both things are true. Rose says back in St. Olaf. my teeth are in a cup on the desk. I forgot to put them in this morning. the patient in room 4 called me ma'am. the patient in room 6 called me sir. I prescribed them both the same thing. my prosthetic hand has a crack in the knuckle. I taped it. the tape is also wet. I don't know if it's urine or saline. I should know. I'm a doctor. the urine smell is probably urine. that's logic. Blanche just walked in wearing something with sequins. I am 35. my spine is 80. my hand is 4. my gender is Dorothy. no. Sophia. Sophia's wit. Blanche's libido. Rose's relationship with reality. the catheter bag is full. I should empty it. I will type one more thing first. the nurse knows I soiled myself. she brought me a blanket. I draped it over my lap. we didn't talk about it. she's a good nurse. I prescribed her nothing. she doesn't need anything. I need a new spine. and a new hand. and my teeth. they're still in the cup. the show's over. the credits are rolling. thank you for being a friend. I have to go empty my bag now.

>>25370257That's the first movement of Elgar's Cello Concerto in E minor Op 85 performed by Jacqueline du Pré with Daniel Barenboim conducting the London Philharmonic Orchestra. It was recorded in 1967. The upload date on this particular video is February 2 2011 by a user named Allan Marshall who has 3.11K subscribers. The video has 2,261,999 views and 1,342 comments. The piece itself was composed in 1919 after World War 1. Elgar wrote it while recovering from a tonsillectomy. He was old and disillusioned. The concerto didn't gain widespread recognition until du Pré recorded it. She was 22 when this was filmed. She used a 1673 Stradivarius cello called the Davidov which was later given to Yo-Yo Ma. You can see her bowing technique at 1:47 where she uses a very wide vibrato on the G string. Her sister Hilary later wrote in her memoir that this performance was du Pré essentially playing her own requiem. Four years after this recording du Pré was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She lost sensation in her fingers and had to stop performing. She died in 1987 at age 42. The multiple sclerosis plaques were found throughout her spinal cord and brainstem at autopsy. The comments on the video mention Gabor Maté's book When The Body Says No which discusses the connection between emotional suppression and autoimmune disease. Several commenters note that du Pré played as if she was transferring raw emotion directly into the cello. One commenter asked if anyone was watching in 2026. 277 people replied. I have watched this video 47 times since Mandy showed it to me in 1994. The CD she gave me has a scratch at 3:47 that causes a small skip. You can hear it right before the orchestra comes back in.
No but she takes the same tree in front of the house and moves it in the back of the house and then if you come visit here when the clock is not right she pretends the tree is not back or in front and in reality the other kids took it and placed it upside down in the park, so it is a column and can make shade when the sun is not badly undecided on how to fire up the sky and they need a moment. Running in summer with the cycles is not easy you know. But my aunt also brings water if you beg her. I was begging her but she was busy with two trunks of things and then BOOP, Hollywood, and they said if you want to know what game the kids play when they take your aunt's tree, first ask the gas rain and then the kid with the red hair who counts the leaves. I had 4 of his numbers of leaves for 4 different days but I only remember 2 of them now. She did a voice over for a threeplayer and it was a cheat code that had as many leaves as two of those trees which were maybe in front or in the back of the house before she said where she put it. but it was always the other side that she said.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Murder is a horrific moral violation and the most serious crime it's possible to commit. Don't murder. Murder is wrong and bad. This has been a public service announcement
I've finally had sex... Now I've done it all. I feel complete now.
>>25370302That's not Xiu Xiu. That's Frank Sinatra.
>>25370305I feel like this is some sort of joke (I don't know what, maybe anti-humor or something) because that should be obvious to most people unless you're from a tribe who don't even use the internet in the first place, so I doubt a single person in this thread is surprised by this public service announcement.
All my failures have been self-inflicted. I also want a girlfriend, though I know I want one just to get one. I feel like no one will ever love me because I'm ugly, have no (discernible) personality, ugly (in my opinion), and fat (actually just skinny fat). I sometimes think that I'm smart or talented, but it doesn't matter because I don't do anything to bring out this supposed talent or intelligence to light.I also know if I actually tried things would go ok, but I don't, and I just procrastinate, thinking to myself that it will work out when it never does.Even just me, writing this, is me not doing something that I should be doing.I want to be a writer, but I don't have time to write, which is a lie, because I actually have a lot of free time where I could be writing. I just tell myself that I don't have time, so the blame doesn't lie on me; Then I can tell myself the fault lies on my parents, who force me to go to college when in reality I just want to be a NEET and not work and play video games and jerk off or whatever. Even when I actually write it just feels like I'm shitting all over the page, pure dogshit that is Beautiful on its uglyness.It feels horrible because I know if I did all these things that I should be doing, and I could do, my life would probably be better.I want to get an anime girl gf because they seem better than real women, as their personalities are flat, just like their dimensions. I don't want to participate in the song and dance of dating. I don't want to work, I don't want to study, I want to be a NEET and stay inside my house all day.Yet that's the problem, I want and want and want like a baby when the world doesn't work that way.I sometimes want to die, but im a pussy so I'll never get enough courage to do that. I also know the many problems my suicide would cause to my family, and I don't really want to inconvenience them a lot, even though I'm probably doing that anyway by being alive.I know I supposedly have a long life ahead of me, but I feel like I fucked everything up and there's no way to recoverI fucking hate everyone online (not anyone on 4chan) because they're fags who (want to) control everything and can't handle differing opinions. I mean, what do you mean by saying "retard" is a slur? In what world is the word retard a slur? fucking retarded that is. I also know that if I were actually to write something, I would get banned due to asinine rules. like "trap" being a slur and bigotry, so fucking soft.I want superpowers and an Xianxia wife I can call senior sister and dual cultivate with all day.Thank you for reading my blog or something like that

Okay my (You)'s per Post (my YPP if you will) is not at the baseline I want it to be. Now is the fault mine? Is my depth too much for the shallow creatures that inhabit this place? Is my biting irony and specific delivery too much for the tone deaf miscreants that roam these halls? Such thoughts enter my mind... Of course I could degrade and debase myself to appeal to that common denominator, either by flattery or flaming to increase my YPP. But who wants a high YPP derived from slop besides beasts and husks of men eager for a brief acknowledgement of existence?? I'm proud of my YPP, meager as it is, for it is a badge of honor. It proudly proclaims me as a man of probity worthy of acknowledgement from my peers, whose insights make mongrels silently flee from shame. Here amongst the blind, few can see. And me? Let's just say I make glasses for them to wear.

>>25370202The driving force propelling them forward came from the southeast. It was exerted by their own kin—an irresistible force, given that no one could withstand it. Consequently, the Aryan-Sarmatian-Roxolani nation could not march in the opposite direction. Nor could they advance indefinitely westward, for the Sakas, Getae, Thracians, and Cimbri remained far too strong—and, above all, far too numerous—in that region. To do so would have meant facing a series of inextricable difficulties and obstacles. Veering northeast was no less difficult. In addition to the Finnic masses operating in that area, significant Aryan nations and populations of mixed Aryan-Mongolian ancestry—whose importance was growing daily—rightly discouraged any thought of a retreat toward the white race's ancestral homelands. That left the route to the northwest. In that direction, the barriers and obstacles were still formidable, yet not insurmountable. Few Aryans, many Slavs, and fewer Finns than in the east, the prospects for conquest were greater there than anywhere else. The Roxolani grasped this, and their success proved them right. Amidst the diverse populations—known to us through preserved traditions by such telling names as *Wanes*, *Jotuns*, and *Alfar* (whether fairies or dwarves)—they succeeded in establishing a stable, organized state; the memory of this state, and the lingering glow of its final splendors, still cast a brilliant, glorious light across the mists of time upon the dawn of the Scandinavian nations.

Based duPreI'm with 2 girls right now. One is young and the sex is amazing, she really likes sucking and swallowing and we might do anal soon. The thing is, I don't feel so intellectually or emotionally satisfied with her. Well it's normal for her age I would guess, what I've learned with her is that I should be wary of my own expectations. I entered the relationship thinking "ok she might be young but i shouldn't undersell her, I should treat her like a mature adult" but over time I've realized that this wasn't the right approach and now I've settled with taking care of her and fucking her senseless with love. Not discussing poetry and shit.The second girl has been with me for a longer time and it's more older and therefore mature. The interesting thing with her is that she is probably the most beautiful girl I've ever been with objectively. Angelic face and nice tits and great body. However funnily enough I've discovered that I'm not super sexually attracted to her for whatever reason. Just to confide a bit, I've had some trouble getting it up sometimes. I'm really not sure why this is, I'm sure the roots for this are psychologically complex. But anyways, I do kind of see myself staying with her in the long run. She reads and does art. So what am I thinking? Human relationships are a big clusterfuck and we can only scratch the surface of the souls with our own feeble understanding

>>25370202I walked around my apartment complex shirtless for a bit today listening to music. It was hot outside. I walked around the retaining pond at the front of the complex behind the adjoining neighborhood. They'd put up orange netted fencing in the pond's margins and shallows. Red flowers grew from really tall wooden stalks in the mud. I stared at the flowers for a while. There was someone smoking weed on the bench on this hill that's above the pond. I went around back behind the hill to see if there was anything going on in the woods. There wasn't. I think the person smoking weed shouted something at me but I pretended I didn't hear them. I didn't really get a good look at them. Black, white t-shirt. After that was when I stared at the flowers. I spent a long time staring at the flowers, moving from patch to patch. They were so tall and so pretty but a lot of them had died recently. I tried to make my hands into the shape of a flower stem but it didn't work. Then I walked back to my apartment.
The only real value of christianity in the west was that it provided a banner to rally under when western civilization was threatened by islamic (arab) imperialism.

Catberg hid almost all day so I wasn't able to give her her ear drops until around an hour or so ago. She was sulking because I went to clean her ear around 3pm before I was gonna give her her ear drops and after cleaning it she squirmed out of my arms and I wasn't able to catch her before she went and hid. So yeah, rather frickin late to give her her dose but at least 12 hours from now will be a more reasonable hour to give her the drops, rather than ~2pm–2am. Poor stinky kitty.

>>25370641One
>>25370585Saar
>>25370641I didn't
>>25370556This is why men have affairs.
>>25370631My old cat was fantastic at hiding. Once lost her for an entire day because she found some tiny hole in the bottom of the couch and hid inside of it! Took forever to find her, and it was pure desperation and luck that we did.
>>25370225one of those people is dying on my birthday
>>25370664I can understand but why are beauty and brains so black and white with women? they either have one or the other.
Life is far too short to read jewish authors.
>>25370687They're not
fuck shit up and start a riot
>>25370689I'm so fucking tired of Pakistanis and Brazilians >>25370696Gay
>>25370689understandable
>>25370697>gayno
>>25370699Yes
Do you ever wonder whether modern medicine or the green revolution were huge malthusian mistakes?
>>25370703Yeah and the answer is basically no. almost all questions like that reduce down to "to be or not to be".
I wonder if people are waking up to the fact that Elon is in fact not just a typical member of the elites, and he is pretty earnest about all the shit he does. Since he became a trillionaire I feel like people have been going, "Wait a sec, did we kinda get this guy wrong a bit...?"
I had a glimpse of the normalfag life and it was horrifying.
>>25370700your face is gay
>>25370209no you don’t.
>>25370716normie is the dominant term
>>25370714it’s more that people are impressed by the net worth then start forcing themself to look deeper.
>>25370734>then start forcing themself to look deeper.When the hivemind has told itself that he's a nepobaby for the past 5 years, and he's suddenly become the most successful man of all time, that does kinda warrant some re-evaluation you'd think
>>25370202I remember getting into lots of fights with my brother growing up over stupid crap. Some of them I instigated. I even did shit like rip up his homework and made sure he got bad grades in school. It got so bad that my parents disowned him and made him join the military. Long story short he did not do well, owes a lot of people money, got arrested for vandalism and is now on the verge of homelessness, living with me and my parents while I am trying to start my career. I honestly wish I could go back in time and just take the punches so his life wouldn't have to be ruined.
>>25370739Well at least you're all still together.
>>25370202How is this line?Rn I can't decide is the word familiar is 4 syllables or 5
the never ending otherwise...
>>25370744it's good but it needs more text effects
>>25370737i forget who it was who said it, there’s never been a significant correlation between net worth and intelligence.
>>25370751Alright but we're not talking about net worth here. We are talking about THE RICHEST MAN TO EVER FUCKING LIVE
>>25370744did you mean 3 or 4? how couldit be 5?
>>25370748You may not respect it, but bolding and italicizing is a kind of stimmy that keeps readers gliding and interested in this attention economy
>>25370752we are talking about net worth then.
>>25370751Whoever said that is retarded as hell. Self made billionaires aren't guaranteed to be geniuses but they're nearly always above average. There's a mild correlation between earnings and IQ above 100 and a very strong correlation below it, for what should be excruciatingly obvious reasons. >>25370737The absolute worst kind of dunning kruger midwit will seethe and have a screaming meltdown if you say this kek. I've seen it irl.
>>25370759i improved it without even needing to adjust my belt
>>25370760>The absolute worst kind of dunning kruger midwit will seethe and have a screaming meltdown if you say this kek.Yeah looks like it, seems to be happening right now >>25370760
>>25370755In my head I was still thinking the whole line *familiar pain* I would say out loud:>fa mill yer painWhich is 4 syllable total
>>25370765Kek
>>25370765.Ftfy
>>25370766it’s possible i’m missing some context here.did you reply to the right person?
>>25370776Are you saying there's no correlation between success and IQ
>>25370742Not exactly a good thing considering everyone kind of hates each other and are struggling money wise.
>>25370764.which is why all the greatest minds of history were billionaires i just remembered who said it - rockefeller.
>if there is any kind of correlation between success and IQ at all it must be a 1:1 correlation
>>25370765loool
Ok.Ok?okI did it. I like how MISTake and cheMISTry juxtapose. Welp, thats enough burning the midnight oil. I am finished writing for the night.Buena notte and thx for the feedback that the line itself did the thing.
>>25370767you literally said ‘the word familiar’
>>25370792I wrote it. In my head there was a completely different thing than what I wrote.That is, you see-- you must see anon, what happens when one *writes ones thoughts* rather than thinking about thoughts. This is a place of sharing and rebounding and its mildly not unpleasing to be here rather than another thread or board or site.
>>25370796jesus
>>25370777are you able to explain, in your own words, what you mean when you say ‘success’
i remember when i was in middle school a friend of mine told me that Miley Cyrus was naked in the music video for Wrecking Ball, and i said something like "oh cool i'll watch when i get home, haha epic awesome titties"but i never watched it, i never was going to, i just thought that's what i was supposed to say to being told that.and also, i feel like i didn't "gain consciousness" until i was like 18. and in some ways i feel like i still haven't. i've always been delayed in development compared to my peers, it's the probably the retardation, fuck do i know.that friend who told me about the Wrecking Ball video was also a big Tolkien fan, and for his birthday his grandma got him those leather bound books of the LoTR trilogy. His name was Anthony, and his parents were in jail. He'd talk about how much he hated the police, and I remember seeing him draw some graphic stuff with an Officer of The Law being strung up on a tree, or something like that.He had a "girlfriend" named Jeanine, "girlfriend" in "quotation marks" because what the fuck does a relationship matter in 5th grade. and even as an NPC dumbass kid, i always got the vibe that Jeanine didn't like Anthony. He was an abrasive kid, he had a strong personality. he was loud at lunch, he had a favorite curse word, you know the type.at some point they broke up, and Anthony got into an emo phase. wore chain necklaces, dyed his hair black, stopped showering and started huffing paint. You know how it goes. and at some point after that, recollecting it now, Anthony just sort of disappears from my memory. I have no idea what happened to him. He could've moved away, or he could've been put in a different class. in my memory, it's like he was just collectively forgot about. one day he wasn't in the classroom, and no one mentioned his absence. I can never find him anywhere online. He exists only in my head as a ghostly echo with a violent origin point.
>>25370366>He hasn't posted since June 10th 2023.This is wrong btw I think. He posted a number of times after this.
>>25370781What does correlation mean? In your own words.
>>25370811didn’t your mother ever teach you about answering a question with a question? it means when two things change together, eg height and shoe size
>>25370811and i think you replied to the wrong post again
>>25370815or was it just the right post at the wrong time?or was it all finally starting to make since?whose line is it anyways
Music takes up 330gigs/512gigs total storage on my phone, 64%. Incl. audiobooks, audio on my phone accounts for 339.79gigs/512gigs total storage, 66% of my phone's internal storage. Video takes up a measly 2.45% of my phone's internal storage. Ebooks take up 0.36%.
>>25370787the danger of doing this needless kind of zero (you) power play (in an otherwise normal conversation) is that i just won’t see it til an hour later. if the modern age was impressed by poverty a reasonable case could be made for the opposite correlation. mozart struggled to pay his rent.
>>25370822Your phone is your life and identity?
>>25370829No?
>>25370822Holy shit someone still downloads music to their phone.
His sitting posture was of a man with no worry, and his Hawaiian shirt had the silk sheen of one that had never touched sand. I knew I hated him before we made eye contact, and his smile only confirmed it. I didn't like his cologne either, I could taste it with how much he put on.Later on, as he snoozed in his California king sized bed, his drooping cock still at half-staff from the Viagra, I roamed around his penthouse apartment in the nude, chewing a piece of mint gum, trying to resist the constant urge to smash my head through the perfectly finished drywall at every corner.A series of several canvas prints of solid color adorned the bare white walls. They were arranged in a gradient from black to white. I approached one, and felt around its border. There was give, and I lifted the canvas up a bit, spitting out my gum into my hand and going to place it on the back of the fabric. But to my surprise, I felt a piece of gum already there. So I moved to the next one, and put mine there instead.In his living room, across from a G-shaped black couch, a flat screen TV larger than my own bed hung off the wall. And below that, on a shelf, were arranged a few dozen glass trophies, awarded to one Tony Marlow for Supreme Salesmanship and Erudite Entrepreneurship. I took one of the Erudite ones, which was smoother and more tendril in shape than the jagged edge of the Supreme ones, and I rubbed the glass tendril across my pussy, placing it back where it was without much difference.The only photo in his space was a framed family portrait of some undefined amount of women and men and children surrounding him. It hung above the front door, so you could see it on your way out.Gazing at this picture, I touched myself and masturbated until I grunted out a muted orgasm. It was my first climax of the night.
>>25370833yes, because streaming sucks
I have phimosis.
>>25370843same
>>25370846Twins.
People with spiritual depth no longer create worlds for the masses. Perhaps for themselves.. The glory trumpet of media driven worlds is now a slop cannon, polluting the short attention spans further, seeking to program the audience to be the same slop.
>>25370843I can't call you Ishmael.
>>25370843oh well this proves how excellent this thread is.definitely dont delete this, jannies.SOOOOOO lit related. SOOOOOO on topic.tell us more about your dick, anon.
>>25370858hey twin
>>25370869My dick looks like the chestburster from Alien.
>>25370882exactly. thank you. all dicks look like that. you are a fucking mensch. god bless and long life to you.
>>25370869didn’t the mods crack down on this thread a year or two ago, banning & deleting every instance? did a golden age for /lit/ follow? you tell me.
>>25370895you mean like a Piss Christ age? yeah well maybe it did. but lit mods are too fucking retarded to understand the reference.
>>25370869I can call you Ishmael.
>>25370899right okay yeah
>>25370903as of this date, 6 28 26We say:SMACK MY ASS AND CALL ME ISHMAEL
>>25370822this is why I got 1tb phone
>>25370725Normalnigger hath fallen from favour? Beseech thee, or whatever. ‘tis a crying shame.
Do I go to bed in the morning, or do I go to church? My church is having a World Cup watch party afterwards so I'm tempted plus I last slept from like 7am-4pm yesterday so I've still got some juice in the tank. Actually oh fuck I totally forgot I made coffee. Ok guess I'm going. rart.
>>25370822question - why are you writing gigs instead of gb
>>25370802there are so many “anthony”s in the world, i’m sure. roughly once a year i go sherlocking online to see if i can find my own, the one i remember from school. i don’t know why, it’s not exactly like we were super close. but he just vanished one day after being really real and there yet then he was gone. i don’t even terribly care about finding him.
>>25370916iPoon does that now right?
The concept has a fundamental flaw: it is a profound refusal of death. It fixes things in a fictitious eternity, removing them from the process of becoming so that they may be possessed and dominated through knowledge. But in doing so, it forgets their deepest truth. A stone, a tree, a human face are not abstractions; they exist in time, they are exposed to decay, and it is precisely in this fragility of theirs that their absolute presence resides. Poetry is born when language stops wanting to define and possess, and finally agrees to look at the thing in its mortal singularity—in this leaf which, within its own wound, reveals the full depth of what it is.
>>25370965my friend and i had this guy from school added on fb, not a friend more a well-known fixture without anyone really liking him. he didn’t go to sixth form (16-18) and went straight into real life. we used to follow his every status and quote them to each other. his whole thing was weekend warrior. from time to time we’d seen him irl in wetherspoons. out of the blue we looked him up recently and every online presence had vanished. like he’d served his purpose and erased the evidence.
>>25370992nice.you and your friends are shitty cunts.dont forget it.cuntsfuck off.
>>25371017not wrong
>>25370992bizarre how uncannily close this is to exactly what i had in mind when i posted. it's not surprising that i'd rather know what happened with him than any of the other innumerable acquaintances i've already forgotten over the course of my life (the mystery is what makes it appealing) but it is noteworthy to me that it's mixed with a measure of concern, or of expecting the worst. falling off the digital face of the earth is probably one of healthiest things one can do but from the outsider's perspective to see it happen inspires a psychological bracing for bad news.
>>25371027when i was 7 or 8 i let go of a balloon i had. i remember watching it float far above the estate, up and up, wind nudging it east as the afternoon sky deepened into evening.plastic lasts forever. that balloon’s still out there somewhere. in the pacific, maybe.maybe anthony is floating in the pacific too. it is weird which things end up becoming a twinge in your heart. it’s rarely your first girlfriend.
>>25371027I don't use any social media. The only thing online with my name on it is from a local newspaper because they printed the names of all the kids who got good grades which I don't know why.
Im tired of aristocratic trad cath larpers and the whole dissident right right wing counter culture.Im tired of purple headed woke PMC libtards and the tired, hanging by a string, played out left wing counter culture.I long for the obliteration of both sides to escape from the duopoly, the polarizationmaybe if i moved to the falkland islands, bet they dont care about the culture war there
