also just putting it out there since it was asked no the issue two theme isn’t ‘the truth is I want to live’
it is absolutely ‘the truth is I want to want to live’ the double want is intentional
like the thing that you want is the desire to live. You might not want to live but you want to want it

the gothic potato - simon collinson
People have their own favourite type of potato. Some like Arran Pilot, or some go crazy for Desiree, others think Cara is the best. But for me there is only one.Breakfast, dinner or tea,It's got to be a Heathcliff, the Gothic Potato.Being Gothic, this potato enjoys being buried and regularly earthed up with soil. It likes being shielded from direct sunlight. It welcomes darkness and shadow.It prefers to be planted on its own. No rows of trenches for this solitary one.It yearns to be buried upon

hi hi. just a fair warning. next week is the beginning of a pretty personal trauma anniversary for me and while it’ll be business as usual mostly, expect my presence online to be minimal still. everyone’s work will still be taken care of, but that’s about it. hoping by new years that we’re so back.
