“Haha. You can’t write and have zero respect for what writers do. And you owe me money for stealing my shit. Bye.”

Sunny and warm in the PNW and I’m out on my lounger, hoodie pulled over my face, black pants, zero skin showing. I imagine this is what it feels like to be a sock fresh from the dryer

THIS. I keep seeing artists in promo mode go "I guess I gotta do a capitalism."
No. Capitalism is not the same as currency, it is a specific socioeconomic system that is harmful to all life on this planet. Currency is representative of value for the exchange of goods and services.

Some people need to learn the difference between engaging in commerce and capitalism.
Also need to read a book, any book, about class structure in the contemporary Western world. I beg.

Or is this just how we wake up every day now?
Has anyone left Vienna, and long before you came to Budapest, the Danube entered a region of singular loneliness and desolation, where its waters spread away on all sides regardless of a main channel, and the country becomes a swamp for miles upon miles, covered by a vast sea of low willow-bushes?

Every time I hear Oasis’ Don’t Look Back in Anger I recall being 16 on the couch of my childhood bf in Eureka, CA and her brother playing with my hair while I rested against him.
Nothing more than that. Just feeling cared about by someone I’d known my whole life.
I don’t even like Oasis

If only tie-dye had been worn instead of that silly floofy ermine
It’s SO underrated to have a look-alike so you know exactly what you’ll look like as you get older
