Exactly, why not call Paul a brother if it’s just a platonic connection?
"I never had a brother, and George Harrison was how I felt a brother to be"
It's interesting how John considered George like a brother but always publicly called Paul "an intimate best friend", putting him on the same level he put his wife Yoko Ono.
John about Paul:
"He’s still the closest friend I’ve ever had except for Yoko."
"But the only – the person I actually picked as my partner, who I’d recognised had talent, and I could get on with, was Paul."
One of my favorite thing on mclennon is when they made references to other songs in later songs . Like, i know (i know) starts with a guitar riff that sounds similar to i've got a feeling, "today i love you more than yesterday", "and i know it's getting better all the time", plus the lsd trip story, just like starting over mentions another day and how do you sleep mentions that same song, coming up starts with "you want a love to last forever" and in don't let me down there is "it's a love that lasts forever" ... it's so touching to me because you can really notice how much they both thought about each other and their songs and how much they cared about each other . Idk. And these are just some examples
Wake up, it’s the first of the restored Gondor king!!

fuck dating apps i wanna meet the old fashioned way (he watches me play at a fête and then i invite him into my band which leads to a 23 year long psychosexual obsession with him)
its so unfortunate when different peoples neurodivergent traits clash horribly. like yes i totally understand that the man at the other table cant control his stimming and loud vocal tics and i think he deserves to have a nice day out at a restaraunt without judgement. however if i dont remove myself from the audible vicinity in the next 20 seconds i will explode.
i don’t know which autistic/adhd/any kind of neurodivergent person needs to hear this but: make a “just in case” bag
this is a pic of mine. it contains:
loop earplugs on the zipper
prescription glasses with a clip on sunglasses attachment
my public transport discount card
a pen
a glasses cloth + wet glasses wipes (which can also be used to clean my hands if needed!
wireless earbuds in case my headphones give out
tips for my apple pencil + silicon covers if i need a different texture/the sound is too loud
a sanitary pad (not for me, as i had a hysterectomy, but i like carrying one around for my menstruating friends)
a pouch with hair ties for when my hair bothers me
autism lanyard (not pictured, as i put it in after i took it)
will i use these every day? not necessarily. but it’s good to have these all in one place in a little pouch so it’s easy to throw into my bag as i use different ones for different occasions. that way i don’t have to think about all these things individually.
it might seem like common sense for some people, but i didn’t think of this until recently. so i wanted to share this in case it could be handy for other people. some more ideas for what to put in your bag under the break. you can make this as big or as small as you like so some ideas may seem a bit big
powerbank + cables (preferably a powerbank that has a LOT of charge)
snacks (do keep an eye on the expiration date)
painkillers/emergency meds (same thing about the expiration date)
sewing kit
deodorant/perfume
mini fan
hand warmers
scissors/nail clippers (for when tags/threads/your nails are bothering you)
tweezers
lucky charm (i have my lucky cat keychain. it just calms me to have)
plushie/stress ball/fidget toy
mints/a mini toothbrush and toothpaste
extra pair of underwear (for if you suddenly need to stay somewhere overnight or if an accident happens)
comb
band-aids + disinfectant
hand cream/soothing cream
soap/soap leaves
similarly, some mini shampoo or mini body wash (again for if you suddenly need to stay the night. there’s probably already some wherever you’re staying but again. this is a just in case bag)
q-tips
chapstick
makeup remover wipes
razors
hand sanitizer/general sanitizer
wet wipes/tissues
foldable bag
ruler/tape measure
this is a lot but keep in mind, these are just ideas. you don’t have to use everything, just pick out which things you think would be handy for you and make your bag accordingly. do feel free to add onto the list if you have any other ideas.
