also i seem to have developed a reputation among my family for being willing to die on any hill. This is patently absurd. Im willing to die on specific hills, of which there are many and in locations that strike witnesses as odd and arbitrary

things that can kill you:

- the night before your birthday

- late summer evenings

- the way the sunlight hits the kitchen a certain way on a summer afternoon

Frozen foods will only come with heating times for 1100w microwaves but corporate workplaces will only spring for microwaves that are 700w so you are forced to heat your food up longer on your unpaid 30 minute break and probably give yourself heartburn trying to eat as quickly as possible in the little time that’s left of your lunch break. This is the corporate jobs way of punishing you for being a human who needs to eat instead of creating 30 additional minutes worth of profit for the shareholders. This is by design

Book that was good: I liked it 👍

Book that was bad: this sucked 👎

Book that I wanted to like but which failed to live up to my hopes: I am going to write 10,000+ words explaining exactly why this book wronged me

ultimately the truth about frankenstein is that we are all grotesque amalgamations of the best and worst parts of everyone who came before us. and sometimes the people who are supposed to love us because of and in spite of this will not. and we can kill them with hammers for that. and i think that’s beautiful

There was a trend in the 40s and 50s (not sure if it predates that or if there are places that still do it) where you could get your child’s baby shoes cast in bronze or dipped in bronze and use them as keepsakes or have them mounted as bookends. Better than the resin slop of the modern day in my opinion. My great grandma had my grandpa’s baby shoes made into bookends ends because she loved him very much and he was her only child and it is honestly really cute. My mom got her dad’s baby shoe bookends when she moved out and they were in my living room my entire childhood, she had explained how they were grandpa’s shoes covered in bronze and I thought that was cool.

Then I went to an art museum and saw bronze busts of people and my tiny child brain thought the person’s dismembered head and shoulders were in there…

"what's your bodycount" and victor frankenstein tries to run through all the corpses he's handled throughout the entire process of making the creature. thus he earns the reputation of being a ravenous slut.
