The worst thing about writing is the neurosis it breeds. I am always thinking about my writing in the bg. An idea will occur to me and I will need to pause what I am doing and write it down. This has to be bad for health and I don’t want to essentially be doing or thinking about my job all the time.

spent a long time running from my work, however, as things stand, and so contingently, it is inevitable.

What is the problem with these paywall book and journal databases that log you out after some time of inactivity, often just 20 or so minutes. Who are you protecting this knowledge from? Why does this knowledge need to be accessed with a special entry code?

Kind of miss having just 1 of everything by choice and then finishing things and then buying a new one. Not that I’ve ever done it but I miss it as an alternative possibility of a way to be in this world and relate to consumption

Neighbours by Mano Khalil is worth writing not one, not two, but a hundred full PhD’s. I will never get bored of that film. If you haven’t seen it I am sorry for you. Whenever I am exhausted by my PhD I think of that film and it makes everything worth it

remembering when my sister whose lactose intolerance was diagnosed first cause she had the set of parents who gave a shit came out with "any disease or condition I have *my name* copies me and develops too", when mine was finally discovered.

Total bliss innit leaving your phone behind. Whose cat died or boyfriend cheated, which politician resigned, what new product was launched, who debited my bank for what sum of money, none of it is my concern.

The UK train network should change its advertising and include a promise to its customers of a customised fast track experience of The Odyssey. No lies there. A single journey becomes a 2x longer mind bending soul crushing physically exhausting, well, odyssey

Agamemnon’s aura in Nolan’s The Odyssey was just something else

Such a great injustice of our times I haven’t been able to find a complexion product across three brands now. Just make a medium neutral olive that isn’t orange and isn’t too light or too dark why is that so hard?

Had David Lynch directed Dune now, he would have found the perfect medium in the current model of Turkish TV series, where each weekly episode stretches over a mind-bending 3 hours.

More drilling in the North Sea would be a catastrophic mistake for Labour - locking us into high bills, and betraying their climate ambitions. If they’re serious about energy security, the answer is to double down instead on renewables and efficiency - and lower bills for good

Tbt when I started reading dracula and got terrified and couldn't sleep and kept wanting to go pee. Not until my BF is with me am I touching that book even with my tiptoe again. The throwback is to 2 weeks ago.

"PhDs are so isolating" yeah everything is isolating, to be honest, I can't think of a single thing that is not isolating. Felt isolated working my real job too, there was just a lot of people in the office daily that we all used to have a collective experience of isolation
