I am an elitist and I do think it makes me better than people
I actually despise booktok culture. Oh you read 13 trash romance books in a week? That's not a brag. That’s just low-tech gooning
The possum is sleeping which is BORING I want to cuddle a baby while I read
Oathbringer is the best stormlight book
I love it when I'm sick on a public holiday yippeee hooray I'm not going to placement regardless 😭😭😭 it's also so so mild I'm just complaining because I still have to do work from home stuff and chores but I can't go climbing and sauna tonight like I had planned
I'm not allowed to hug the baby possums because they might be able to get human sickness :(
I am SO SICK this is BULLSHIT I have a MILD COLD and I'm going to throw myself into the sea
The fact that it's even POSSIBLE for the blood vessels in the human nose to constrict to the point that you can't breathe is bullshit. Why on earth would that be possible in a sensible animal
To go home I get to go bus - tram - train - bus. Maybe I should find a way to get on a ferry
It is genuinely insane to me how many people are racist towards Indian people. Like openly, cruelly, casually so. And I don't know how to address these recent incidents because like wtf do you say when you’re a student
Do not listen to big soft titty podcast while training handstands. I mean I'll personally never learn this lesson I'll keep falling over laughing
What if I just dropped out of this fucking degree right now
Oh thank you!!!
Yeah but only if I can force him to play crash 4
I think it’s safe to say: this is the biggest pro-Palestine rally that this city has ever seen. Brisbane Sanctions and action now @albomp.bsky.social #Auspol #MarchForPalestine #Genocide
We went to an ARCADE BAR where I told him how much I love watching crash and Spyro speed runs why the fuck did he save this information? We've also known each other for five years
This guy I went out with on Wednesday just today told me he’s no.9 in the world in Spyro 3 speed running and he should've told me this earlier because I would've ****** *** **** ***** *****
I'm around too many women named Gaia
Lmao exactly like what do they want doctors to do, go in there and fuse all their joints?
Just saw someone on TikTok get mad at a doctor for saying the primary care for hEDS and POTS is diet change and physical therapy 😭😭😭 bestie if you WANT to be diagnosed with the rare diseases follow the fucking evidence based treatment
Romance by Fontaines D.C. is basically a perfect album. Don't know if anyone's acknowledged this before
I am taking a brief detour from serious literature and book club recommendations to continue my stormlight archive reread/finally read wind and truth. Because some dumb fantasy is always gonna fuck like hell and I'm about to be on a train for 4 hours every day
It got much better but it's still like. Not amazing. Idk how I feel about it. I guess I'm going back and forth because I gained nothing new or novel from it but maybe I did?? Torn. Every other character is more interesting than the protagonist and he knows it
Sometimes the bait is so good it has to be commended
Much more seriously watch where you’re driving and keep your fucking cats indoors. And if you see an injured animal you DO have a responsibility to provide aid, I think everyone should know the basics for how to take care of them
Dear universe I don't actually want to keep rescuing injured animals. Please stop injuring them near me it's very inconvenient for me and probably upsetting for them!
In excellent news I started feeling funny at work and now my ears are burning and my forehead is hot and I have a headache. Pretty good sign!
Oh Mo don't worry he’s also a professor and it's a crisis about whether or not he should have kids and his mortality
You can't trust literature critics all the time because they love this shit because they were also in their mid-30s living in big cities and considering their own mortality and artistic impact and whether they appeared adequately leftist to other liberal elites
I am reading 10:04 by Ben Lerner and there are parts that are good but mostly lots of anxious, intellectual wank and it's self-aware that it's masturbatory but it's not endearing enough/well-written enough to make up for it.
The scene where Shelob captures Frodo is nasty. Far worse than I remember
I remember Frodo being more heroic in the books but Sam's really the hero here. Frodo is mostly useless
Eowyn is the best character ever
Okay i took a break to do laundry but im now break and every time any of the hobbits does something genuine i start crying. They're good men 😭
Lmao the scene where Pippin leaves and Aragorn had to comfort Merry, Merry says to Aragorn "foolhardy maybe, He’s a Took" and Aragorn stares at him benevolently like "idk enough about hobbit families to reply"
Sarumans death scene cool as fuck and his fingernails are gross
Onto return of the kings now and I still think Sméagol shouldn't have talked like that in the flashback. He shoulda been normal
Everyone needs to stop hurting Gollum Jesus Christ he deserves some kindness
Perfect end to a perfect film is Merry and Pippin getting a barrel fool of weed each and some turkey. Eru is good
This is also true of Henry Cavill as Geralt like... looks bad clean. Also just realising my ex looked a lot like Aragorn and that does explain that whole relationship
God Aragorn is the hottest character in anything ever he’s so bedraggled. He looks like shit at all times it's stunning
"Tens of thousands" "But my lord there is no such force" Dude how do you not here the tens of thousands of orcs literally right outside the window 😭
Legolas kinda looks like he’s pinging. Wide eyed and jaw clenched
"You stink of horse" the wizards are gay and sassy. Being an Istari is camp
They don't even throw wormtongue down that many stairs
I love that Gandalf comes back with a salon style and platinum blonde dye. That'd cost me $500 but he got it for the low low price of reincarnation
The corpse that lures Frodo into the water has an insane jawline
The orc hunt is so funny just watching Gimli a mile behind Aragorn and Legolas in every shot
Listening to my trustworthy aide, Grima Wormtongue. Yes he hasn't bathed in weeks and he crouches everywhere he walks but he’s just doing his best
Say the line Legolas!!!
Must've been kinda crazy releasing the film "the two towers" in 2002
Frodo falls down once per fight sequence
I forgot how much of this film is Pippin fucking shit up for no reason. They brought everyone's annoying little brother on the quest to save the world and he spends the first half of his journey just throwing rocks at old skeletons until everyone gets attacked
I kinda love it it's so funny
Very good but that Saruman closes each of the doors on Gandalf one at a time. Very funny prank
Samwise Gamgee kinda nice with it
Why didn't I get to feel the Brisbane earthquake
What a beautiful sight to wake up to
These balls are not nice enough to be bragging about
One of my most odd insecurities is this belief that I secretly smell bad and no one is telling me
If you’re single and you have huge massive bazongas then you have to emasculate the men around you into further insanity. Thems the rules!
Great news that's actually a core theme of the book
So I finished one flew over the cuckoos nest and it's a great, but irrevocably racist and misogynist book. Like I genuinely enjoyed most of it but those elements are so vile. So I tried to find more writing analysing those elements in context and Google is full of AI slop and cheating essay shit
My friends are so good @grugstan.bsky.social and I spent the whole day on Tuesday looking at books, yesterday I cancelled something bc of my brain and got nothing but love, and I told the girls my brain feels bad and they're all tryna organise little walks with me and low effort things
It feels like there's a rat chewing through all the cables in my brain
Next book club book is Patricia Wants to Cuddle by Samantha Allen which I am hopeful I will like
Ohhhh transverse abdominus, it's the "corset" belly muscle or like deep core whatever the fuck people wanna call it. Basically you want to think belly button to spine/lower back flat to floor or whatever other cues are useful
It's very upper ab focused and you gotta use your TA well throughout but I like that I don't have to think very hard 😌
youtu.be/T4VZf55Mn-0? This is it if you wanna suffer through gymnastics conditioning with me
My friend made a ten minute ab workout YouTube video and it's the current warmup and it's fucking killer. I am struggling my way through it but it's great
I too think I'm immune to sun damage
We had a combined book club movie club and almost everyone else liked the book (which makes sense knowing their taste vs mine) and then we watched Sunshine which is a stupid fucking movie that I loved
It's kinda rude that the only feel good substance that has virtually no side effects is LSD, and that’s a) illegal and b) a 12 hour commitment
I took two whole hits of a vape last night and today my throat feels intolerably scratchy and I'm actually so glad I've experienced this once annual reminder for why I don't smoke or vape anymore
I want a tiny moustache!!!!!! I'd be sooooooo annoying about it
God SHOULD have made me a slutty bisexual male poser I love Radiohead and tote bags and fancy grilled sandwiches and I'd have a stupid tiny moustache and big pants but unfortunately my brain is set on being a woman and it's the exact same but I don't have a moustache
This book is so good that I might go crazy
Is it possible for it to rain in Brisbane on a weekday rather than the weekend?
After reading Compound Fracture for book club I have now RETURNED to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and it's soooooo fucking good man. It's crazy how good writing can be. It's also so nice to go into books like this relatively blind
Yeah it just left it feeling shallow and like I was reading Twitter threads at some points. Plus the main character never really had to acknowledge their own guilt or flaws
It was Compound Fracture. Mostly tongue in cheek to call it too cringe and woke my actual issue was that it couldn't actually critically engage with the moral issues it raised and just relied on surface level exposition (to a tired degree) and also its YA so I just generally didn't like the prose
I did it. I finally read a book that was actually too cringe and woke
Yeah, the context that I had seen was just the spiel about "my jeans are blue" which wasn't immediately racist but the other "I have great jeans" shit is on the nose.
Okay I've now found other videos I hadn't seen and I get it
I'm gonna be real I don't understand he Sydney Sweeney jeans ad controversy
I think sometimes I think I don't make a lot of difference. Didn't make it to the last march I intended to go to. Feel powerless in the world. But if I see a creature in need I help as best I can. I try and spread joy.
Coworker found a baby ringtail possum that had been bitten by a cat or something bloody and cold but still alive on the ground and in the end bc we had no heating pads I cradled it to my chest the entire car trip to the vets and just tried to keep it from fading. Made it to the vets alive
I am somehow very frequently rescuing wild animals. Like more often than I should as someone who does not volunteer to do that
I love 99% Invisible where else can you hear a man say "lexicography is kind of an extreme sport"
Last night I went to work and I was sooooo sad and then my coworker gave me a big hug and a slice of blueberry lemon cake and a Coke Zero and then I had a great shift and one of my students said she loved how I taught and I'm feeling a bit stronger ☺️

This tweet brought to you by seeing Zach zucker get all up in Tara Boom's buttery body and getting insane jealousy
The Edinburgh fringe is so nice. Would love to go there one day
I've seen some of those studies... they have some huge methodological flaws with small sample sizes, self-report (defining sex is actually complicated) and also compare to previous generations but there's no way of saying any one generation was the "norm" for sex
Unfortunately you don't want to treat all women as sex toys so no one wants to hear from you gay boy!
The entirety of the "men aren't getting laid enough and they feel bad so we need to help them get laid so they don't turn to the right" argument REQUIRES men to be having statistically less sex than ever before and that’s NOT TRUE????
What even is this complaint that "men aren't getting laid"?? There is no good/consistent evidence that men are getting laid less now than in previous generations nor that cis-straight men are getting laid less than any other demographics
The argument that AI lets people "make" art via prompts is so bullshit even at a surface level. You haven't made shit you've done the equivalent of getting a machine to paint a commission for you for no pay. Like you don't "make art" when you buy furry porn of your OC and that’s way more respectable
Oh and I have been enjoying the Finch app for my mental health lately, unsure how well it will work for someone still really struggling with the low motivation that comes with depression but it's a nice incentive for me to do things like leave the house every day
I have one friend who ultimately preferred self-help and therapy books/online resources... I wouldn't necessarily recommend this for everyone but if you know of any resources they can maybe action now that could be a good start? Alongside walking
