I'm making homemade sugar cookies and omg, almond extract has to be one of the best smelling things to ever exist.

I wanna be almond extract. 😩

I really don’t understand this whole ‘stay on Twitter and fight’ thing. You’re jousting with bots and reply guys and wading through ads it’s not Waterloo.

Please support bookshops.

Independent bookshops.

They are so wonderful. Yes you pay a little more.

But I think of it as paying for the experience.

The experience of browsing.

And that oh-so-important bookshop smell. 🖖
Fu** big corporations.

i appreciate that one of the narrative conceits of the new scream movies is that the children of a serial killer inherits the serial killer instinct to stab like some kind of superpowered mutation

Lauryn Hill singing, "No one's hurt me more than you and no one ever will."
What’s a “line reading” in a song that destroys you as much as a passage in a book or a scene in a film. For me it’s Springsteen singing “and my clothes don’t fit me” on Streets Of Philadelphia*.

*Single lines only, please. Complete songs is a different matter.

I like this fresh start of a Twitter for me. One of the cons of having a page for so long is that all different versions of you apply to that ONE page. And while I guess that can be a beautiful thing too, I like having a fresh clean slate to lay foundation on.
