Woke up with this joke in my head and felt that it was so genius, I needed to write it down before I went back to sleep and inevitably forgot it

I can’t, I’m far too busy playing one song over and over but mentally changing one of the lyrics so that it accurately depicts my deepest desires

what if we admitted to each other that it's not always really romance that we want. What if we admitted that what we're really craving is intimacy and society taught us romance is the only way to get it.

All I did was blow dry it this morning and it’s SO GOOD ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

[corruptionofjulia]

TODAY!!! I quickly ran the straightening iron over it and I feel HOT

I fear that if someone asked “are you out?” it would evoke the same panic in me as Rodrick’s “Are you embarrassed that you pooped in your diaper today?” question from the wimpy kid do it yourself book

too many stories about turning yourself into a monster as a metaphor for pretending to be something you aren't and losing yourself in the process. not enough stories about turning yourself into a monster as a metaphor for choosing to openly embrace yourself even if it's strange to other people

Fascinated by people who hate and are disgusted by The Corruption of Hollis Brown, who can’t correctly identify that their negative feelings are them experiencing the horror element.

It’s always “this wasn’t scary at all!” followed by “this book is evil for Content reasons”

Yeah, that churning in your stomach? The ethical rejection? The wild discomfort? The sharp desire for them to be parted….. that’s you being horrified.

There are other types of horror than spooky jumpscare.

It’s not called Hollis Brown and the friendly ghost, or Hollis Brown fights a possession and wins.

It’s called The CORRUPTION of Hollis Brown. And it’s about him viscerally changing the ghost in his body.

Also, I made the cover artist have the cover have two people in distorted hellfires reaching out to each other for salvation????

I might understand if the cover showed them embracing happily or whatever but there’s nothing about the way this was marketed that should have tricked anyone at all.

Why did they think this was going to be anything but horrifying?

What did they think a book that was titled like that was going to be about?

“The author is trying to convince us that this is good.”

Every media ever isn’t an artist trying to tell you that what you’re seeing is good and something you should replicate. Or trying to argue in favor of the actions of the characters.

Hollis Brown is unhinged and Walt is a criminal and a monster. This book doesn’t really have a hero and a villain, it’s mostly about creatures, desires and impulses!

Wishing they separated at the end is a part of the horror element!

They consumed each other completely!

Boo!

Weirdest thing that made me feel like a celebrity this week: this mass email from the condo board

I am embarking on the most Me quest imaginable, which is making recipes from Ned and Ariel Fulmer’s “The Date Night Cookbook.”

Communication is so interesting. Just learned that when I drop my voice in a subconscious attempt to convey disarmedness/comfortability, it (at least in the one specific case from today) reads as “oh no Julia’s sad! What’s wrong Julia?”

[corruptionofjulia]

At least once a month for the past year I’ve wondered “is this my frontal lobe developing, and if so, why does it feel like a regression?”

I was trying to find a song, babe 🫩

My experience as a new apple-watch-wearer today was as follows:

Hit my move goal while picking my nose

Hit my exercise goal while wiping my ass
