Anyone else had to kill so many flies today? I hate doing it but have been cooking and they are not like, oh! How did I end up in a house, PLEASE SHOW ME THE DOOR FRIEND - they're more like I HAVE 6 HOURS TO LIVE AND I CAME TO LAY EGGS AND POISON YOUR SON. Beautiful awful things of life.

Me: What's a normal amount of inches?
them: What? of What?

That #learning a new #language when you're older is hard is not just negative thinking, it's a physiological fact.

Being on twitter is like being in a crowded bar with a ton of assholes and a bad vibe, and then navigating over here is like going out for a smoke and feeling weirdly connected to some drunk stranger who is telling you her whole life story for some reason
