One bookish person to another, did you get into mythology as a kid? Greek mythology tends to be a real crowd pleaser, though Norse is coming up in the rankings.

yes indeed i was a Greek mythology kid (and still am)

I love that you embrace that people will, invariably, compare you to Lisa Simpson. Is gazpacho any good?

one of my favorite foods actually

that post of yours that's like "are they really gatekeeping something or do you feel like a stranger who doesn't even know you exist withholding their approval from you that you think you're entitled to" is such a summary of much of today's online experience. ppl take the weirdest shit so personally and make it everyone's problem like "what do you mean i have to wear a mask i cough into ppls face to cope... im literally neurodivergent and a minor". and like i get that social media is about communication but sometimes im baffled as to why people feel the need to say these things. sorry for rambling love u✌️

it's pure individualist ideology. people want to live in a world which is tailored to them. social media platforms create the illusion of people talking To You, that the posts on your feed are written For You (i mean how many fuckin apps including this one use those exact words). and because social media platforms as communicative mediums encourage context collapse, everything about them funnels people away from being able to say 'this one isn't about me' and move on. it's all the i think you should leave skeleton song bit where tim robinson is like 'wait, by billy do you mean me or him' and the guy is like 'your name's also billy?' and he says 'no! that's why i'm so fucking confused!'

ME: i'm trans SOCIETY: okay GUY FROM AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE WHERE PRESIDENT TRUMP ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE AMERICA'S FRACTIOUS RELIGIOUS LANDSCAPE WITH STATE-SANCTIONED WORSHIP OF THE ANCIENT EGYPTIAN SUN GOD ATEN, ONLY TO BE KILLED IN A FUNDAMENTALIST COUP AND REPLACED AS PRESIDENT BY HIS DECREPIT AND SICKLY SON: fuck i'm so glad i don't have to worship the sun anymore

My most joyless, pedantic, Niel DeGrasse Tyson ass take is that I find the "Biblically Accurate Angel" meme annoying. I cannot see that joke without going "UHM ACTUALLY-"

btw most universities to my knowledge keep their reading lists behind access barriers (ie. only students enrolled at the institution on the course in question can see them) so i thought i’d just let you all know that durham university has all of its reading lists available online for free without needing student access. do with this information what you will.

I had a dream, probably since I was watching one of your videos before bed, that you were running some sort of jewelry store. You were showing me strands of pearls, and I asked you, "Which ones do you get when you're planning for a wedding you plan to call off at the altar. I don't love her." and you just, never missed a beat and brought me some pearls and said, "These look great, but are a bargain. Don't break the bank, or your dignity." Very supportive.

thank you, i love entering people’s dreams! glad i could help

I realized who you reminded me of: You have high Betty Boop energy.

thanks! i went as her for Halloween this year

okay an update since my last ask, your latest video introduced me to Joanna Newsom, and I've been listening to Ys (and Only Skin in particualr) non-stop for like a week now

yesss 😎

hi! hope you don't mind me asking, did you take down your video about lolita? if so, why?

i did not. it’s here:

Is everything okay? I saw your twitter was deleted. On one hand, Twitter's going down a dark path, so if you deleted due to that, I get it, but I was concerned something bad may have happened. Are you alright?

I’m alive. The main reason I deleted my Twitter was a re-evaluation of my relationship w social media a long time developing. I’ve been disturbed by a lot of the behavior I’ve seen across every platform, but especially Twitter - anti-intellectualism, cruelty, harassment, mobbing. I’ll probably make a video about social media this year. And I hope James Franco finally lets me upload part 2 of my Faulkner series soon.
