Poetry is the most reviled and redundant art form, everyone rolls their eyes at it and takes the piss out of it. But the second something shit happens in our lives, it’s the first recourse we have. - Dolly Alderton, Good Material

I’m still processing how this asshat won. I was so sure 51% of the country would be done with this every damn day it’s 3 or 4 just absolutely ridiculous things. I hate flood the zone with shit. What is wrong with these people? Shock and awe on US citizens.

When you die, you’re worm food. Everyone needs to just chill and lead a good life while you’ve got it.

Read 12 Years a Slave last year… these narratives… uff. Like a gut punch. Makes one hope they could be so resilient. Required reading. #booksky💙📚

“It's a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you're ready. I have this feeling now that actually, no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.”

Reread after about a decade. Still loved it. It captures the Midwest in a way that I don’t think I’ve ever read. Highly recommended #lorriemoore #booksky💙📚
