truly cannot stop thinking about what a rich text this answer is. hemingway could only dream of imbuing two short sentences with this much meaning.
And are you married? I was married, but I'm not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle.

I desperately need a haircut to sort out my ratty split ends but I also need to figure out the right words to use with the hairdresser to make sure I retain whatever the hell is going on here. I don’t think saying “I want my hair to still look like it has killed before and will kill again” will work

got dressed to try and trick myself into feeling human, the choice of shirt was obvious given I was listening to “waiting around to die” when I opened the drawer to pick one.
Selfie of me, a middle-aged white woman with shoulder-length thick brown hair and purple glasses, smiling and wearing a black t-shirt with a famous photo of Townes van Zandt from the documentary film Heartworn Highways (1975) on the front of it in black and white. In the t-shirt photo, Townes is wearing a cowboy hat and looking off to the side wistfully, with a lit cigarette in his mouth. The photo encompasses the sort of melancholy mid-century mood that contrasted with the American dream “white picket fence” narrative, which Townes so perfectly captured in his music and which can also be seen in the works of other great artists of the period, across a range of mediums.

can’t believe it’s been 80 years since them slags executed benito mussolini and hung him upside down from a service station. still freaks my nut out to this day that we don’t do that to more fascists.

I’m wearing purple framed glasses and a pinkish purple knitted sweater. I’m holding up a mug as if to drink out of it, which has the text ‘“So much for the tolerant a left.” - Benito Mussolini April 28, 1945’ printed on it upside down.

having a big flare up of neuropathic symptoms in my feet, so trying to remember the best foot sensation in the world: dipping them in cold, wild water, as i did last weekend.
Picture taken looking down at my legs (clad in dark grey rolled up jeans) and feet (clad in purple strappy hiking sandals) standing in green foamy sea water with some cool rocks just under the surface.

look how cool this rock I found on sunday is.
My hand holding a pinkish red rock with a cool beige almost lattice-like pattern on its surface and visible textured weathering lines, roughly rectangle except that the upper edge is diagonal, about 3 inches (at the longest point) by 1.75 inches.

had to go find the quote because i can’t believe this was her actual defense
"I wasn’t thinking about the governor’s condition—I was thinking about the planes, trains, and automobiles he used to transfer migrants into communities led by Black mayors, deliberately stoking tension and fear among the most vulnerable," Crockett wrote on X.
