Today on being accidentally aesthetic: I made lemon posset dessert, then realised I didn’t have any nice glasses to serve it in, so I used my tiny little jam jars instead and now I have 12 dainty mini-portions of dessert. I might tie some ribbon around the jars 🌻
AnonymousIt's not on your favorites list, so what about The House of Leaves. If you haven't read it you should. It's honestly one of my favorite books of all time.
I have a copy, and I started reading it many years ago but only got part of the way through, I believe. I actually can’t remember if I finished it or not, which is wild to think about. either way, I’ve been meaning to reread it for ages now, and so maybe I’ll finally get around to that this year lmao. I’ve heard nothing but good things about it.
I suppose at one time in my life I might have had any number of stories, but now there is no other. This is the only story I will ever be able to tell.
I think the most amazing part of tumblr, for me, is the fact that there are so many posts going around generalising people as problematic for really simplistic shit they do, or making wide, sweeping assumptions about how terrible a person is for something they write/are interested in (again, usually really simplistic or not actually problematic shit)… reblogged by people who are in group chats with me, know I like that shit, and somehow don’t see me as problematic.
is it because you know me, and you realise that generalising based on one thing is actually a really ineffective way of getting to know someone? or is it just hypocrisy? who knows. tumblr’s disconnect between appearances and actual beliefs is wild. yall getting gold in the mental gymnastics. have a good day
