going to the library feels so hedonistic. absolutely no need to exercise self-control or restraint, i am picking up any book that looks interesting, limited only by what i'm willing to carry home

[enjambedlife]

augh i got the proof for a poem i'm getting published and it's one where i was getting weird with it vis-a-vis line breaks and spacing and it turns out to have not translated to the magazine page size like, at all,, and so i'm going to have to become the world's most annoying contributor and send back like two dozen corrections because unfortunately it does, in fact, matter

honestly yall just gotta be comfortable reading books that make you feel stupid

[going2hell4everythingbutbeingbi]

read books that you don't understand. read books where you have to pay attention. read books that make you reread a page eight times to figure it out. read books that you need to take notes on. read books with words you have to google. read books that don't make sense without research on the setting. read books that make you feel stupid because otherwise you'll just be stupid.

oh my god. most of life really is about the little things. a good haircut, a nice playlist, trying a new recipe that turns out well, a poem that hits home, a comfortable spot in the sun, spontaneous messages, a pen you enjoy writing with, tea with the right temperature to drink, buying that thing you’ve been eyeing for a while, a warm bed. yeah im so grateful for the small joys

The women who desperately need Taylor swift to be gay are kind of indicative of a larger trend in gay stuff where people don’t want to seek out actual gay art or culture but want to consecrate all the normiest str8 culture as somehow queer in order to feel like they are participating, without having to actually do anything deviating from the lowest common denominator broadest appeal culture industry products

I love when people are bisexual

I usually hate seeing people being stiffed for their labor but I think it’s very funny ICE agents have not been getting their $50k sign on bonus, many are still waiting for their healthcare benefits to kick in and some are complaining they haven’t been getting their paychecks. You sold your soul to the Exploiting and Abusing People Agency and they started exploiting you too? Wow. Crazy.

just came across a seasonal job i was interested in with provided accomm (common in my field). they're looking for someone specifically over 30, but requiring that you share your bedroom with another random hire. listen as someone who has shared bedrooms, tents, campervans, and boats in this industry, room-sharing is not out of the question but ppl get tired of it by 25. i promise this employer they can get someone who will sleep in a twin bed beside a strange or someone over 30 but not both. get real
