Don't You Ever Say Never To Me

@thesparklingdarkness

welcome to my home! despite their fearsome appearance the gargoyles on the roof will not harm you, but unfortunately i can't promise the same about the garden gnomes

so fucked up that like actually going to bed earlier and exercising and eating well and being kind to urself does actually make u feel a bit better. that is so messed up

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: public libraries are the only place where people are allowed to just exist in public anymore without spending money. Thank goodness they already exist and have for so long because they would be denounced as socialism if we tried to implement them now.

This is UK, but the only parts of this that don’t apply to the US are things that ought to.

My ancestors, watching me dump an entire stick of cinnamon, two cloves, an allspice berry, and a generous grating of nutmeg into my tea, sweetened with white sugar and loaded with cream, while I sit in my clean warm house surrounded by books, 25+ outfits for different occasions, and 6 pairs of shoes, in a building heated so well I have the windows open in mid-autumn:

Our daughter prospers. We are proud of her. She has never labored in a field but knows riches we could not have imagined.

I like this so much better than the idea that our ancestors would be embarrassed or ashamed of us for being “soft” or some crap like that.

reading alone in your room at sunset with your windows open in summer while the wind caresses your skin is probably the closest thing we have to a cure for the human condition
