Finally finished Paul B. Preciado’s Dysphoria Mundi (devoured the start, but my progress slowed with the final third - probably just due to me). This is the only account of Covid & the *ongoing* pandemic that I can stomach to read, as it’s honest & true, & situated within a wider sense of mutation

It’s too hot, got a bunch of job rejections, and don’t know what to do with my life. But I did have a very nearly 1 year old sleep on me for five minutes and it was bliss

Utterly ridiculous that we live in a world where this headline exists - and it’s not presented as shock at violence that a football match causes 🤯

Speaking of antidepressants, I’ve never had a version that’s clear showing teeny tiny globules of stuff. Exciting! (Not a new prescription, just a new [to me] generic brand)

The wording of this drives me mad! And regularly confuses me - it didn’t used to be like this?
