I say, "I want you inside me"

and you hold my head underwater.

I say, "I want you inside me"

and you split me open with a knife.

Is there some kind of tumblr best practices for how to link ongoing series like this? I'm obviously not going to continue quote tweeting (or whatever you call it here) the previous post until it becomes one gigantic chain

If a genie appeared and said you could magically change one thing about yourself, but only one, what sort of thing would you change? (Note: has to be something realistic, no fantasy stuff like being able to fly)

Something about your physical appearance; make yourself look different

Something about your physical body (e.g. get stronger, get rid of chronic pain)

Improve one of your senses (e.g. 20:20 vision)

A personality trait (e.g. become more patient or socially confident)

Learn or improve a new skill (e.g. be able to sing really well or know DIY)

Your tastes or preferences (e.g. make broccoli your favourite food)

How your brain works (e.g. improve your focus or ability to take in information)

Your gender

Something else

I'd turn down the offer because I'm perfect/I'm bald

posting 2016: you ever think about how in ten years we'll still be gay and online together

posting 2026: imagine, if you will, making a necklace from the bones in your hand. feeling them slowly become mundane, like stones, as time renders them unfamiliar to you. thought exercise now concludes

No tech CEO or NYT bestselling novelist will ever match the creativity of a humble French postman who decided on a whim to spend thirty-three years building a surreal, majestic palace with the bricks and mortar of his dreams.

Couple of interesting additions:

1. Ferdinand Cheval tripped over a stone and was inspired by its shape, eventually stating, "It represents a sculpture so strange that it is impossible for man to imitate, it represents any kind of animal, any kind of caricature. I said to myself: since Nature is willing to do the sculpture, I will do the masonry and the architecture."

Here's the tripped-over sandstone in question, which explains some of the abstract design:

Oh, and also:

2. He tripped and started this when he was 43.

"The truth is, once you remove the name of the poet, you discover that every word is a name of something, however abstract. Every word invokes a character, even a tiny, servile conjunction such as the word 'and' is the name of a kind of spectral hand, which holds two things together. 'And' is an ancient relative of the word 'in' and it slides between anyone side by side. You come across it in crowds, but also on heaths and moorland. 'And' is in its essence wind-like, implying motion towards or against two things, but never quite reaching, so that when it appears the grass shivers, but always in different fields."
