“‘Do you fall in love often?’ Yes often. With a view, with a book, with a dog, a cat, with numbers, with friends, with complete strangers, with nothing at all.”
— Jeanette Winterson, Gut Symmetries (via luthienne)
pratchett will write an entire book about the grim reaper pretending to be santa claus while the grim reaper’s granddaughter goes about hunting down the dumbass who decided to kill santa, and then right when you think you’re done and the oddly pointed shenanigans are winding down he hits you with “humans need fantasy to be human. to be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape,” and knocks you into next wednesday
i have no coherent way of talking about love. every time i think about being loved or how badly i want it or how much i love the people in my life already it’s like Y(W*&^(*%&^(*&(^&W$(*T(*$Y(R*&$(*@)(*@)**)*)*)(!)(*@)()!(@)@*)($**(*&(*&(^$>”:>”^$£?:${:{$:^{:}{&?£>:^>$:&{%:>&”=+%:>&”[}{\;’:%>”£±:>&:%>”&:”:{P@(*)(*)({@”§:@”?”@:!!”@?@§§”?”?”:>{:}!P@OR)F*CJ)E*U8. so

Not the usual super specific playlists but I spent a shit ton of time on these so y’all should check them out :) <3 there’s also a bunch of different kinds of music on each playlist so if you’re looking for a variety I got u.
invested in a figment: for my obsessive folk who long for love or someone they can’t have
can you feel my love buzz?: obsessive vibes again but more intense and less lovesick
stop it, wake up: self explanatory, I don’t know what the concept is here but I love this playlist so check it out
rhinestones from the sky: for rainy days and gloomy weather when you’re in your room and want to stare at the ceiling and you’re not happy but you’re not sad either
new wave: mix of synth and vibes
i work the week like sedation: made after I worked every day for a week and felt like I was deteriorating
such a lonely day: those days when you contemplate life and drive around and want to scream but also cry but in a mellow way where the feeling just settles
i’m aboutTo have a nervous breakdown: for when you are losing your mind, be it from school, work, etc.
dream workshop: artists and academics collide; a fantasy i have of having an apartment with my friends and working in a little workshop space on our own respective things like art, music, studying, etc.
dissociating on the metro: it’s before dusk during the blue hour and you’re on your way home on the subway/metro after a long day

In Mojave thinking, body and land are the same. The words are separated only by letters: ’iimat for body, ’amat for land. In conversation, we often use a shortened form for each: mat-. Unless you know the context of a conversation, you might not know if we are speaking about our body or our land. You might not know which has been injured, which is remembering, which is alive, which was dreamed, which needs care, which has vanished.
If I say, My river is disappearing, do I also mean, My people are disappearing?

“i have too many books on my tbr” my brother in christ, you’re the one who put them there
they lassoed the moon, did you hear? yeah they brought it down last night and she got so close the water that the tides shot into the supermarkets
yeah my grandma had to pick out her radishes from waist-high ocean she said that the pasta was too close the ground so it was all floating
they're holding the moon halfway now so it's really beautifully bright you can see all the rich men running up and down the tether wearing bandanas to raise money for some charity they started
yeah no i think they're going to keep it there haha, yeah like as a resort somebody said something on the news about turning her face green with little chopped golf grass how about that; we will have a different moon in our memory than in the future , imagine asking were you born before the moon was green haha
last night yeah if you went outside to watch the balloon of her astral body bobbing in our atmosphere all that white particulate coming down like plaster drifting snow in moonrocks over our upturned cheeks
the moon, chafing, unable to rest in peace
