I don’t know the etymology of milquetoast, but it’s a great insult, and when I use it I always imagine someone who is so bland they dip their toast in MILK! Take that!

Me reading Walter Benjamin is just me producing a marked-up text that consists of …. One continuously highlighted text…. That’s also continuously underlined……. And whose margins are filled with exclamation points and stars. ⭐️ ❗️ ✨ ‼️ 🌟

If I adore a book — and someone else also adores that book — it makes me feel like we were friends as children — if that makes sense

I think if your birth year is even sort of vaguely on the cusp of where one generation ends and another begins, you get to choose which one you are.

Imagine the concept of a blurb but with a better name — a name that doesn’t sound like a frog releasing an air bubble beneath the surface of a pond

I met this poet at a party & it turns out we both when to Goldsmiths but at different times & when I told what years I was there he acted like I was the cryptkeeper, he almost threw up, if he had been able to throw me in the trash I think he would have

It used to be the women at the tennis club worked out in skintight halter tops and high waisted full length pants, matching sets the color of dinner mints: powder blue, aqua green, pale rose. Now they wear very short black shorts with either a t-shirt or an indifferent exercise top.

Hera buttoned just one button on her sweater & was like, “I thought this was more elegant” and I was like “Elegant! Where’d you hear the word elegant!” And she was like “from YOU Mommy!” And I was like “from ME? When did I use the word elegant?” And she was like,”you use it all the time!”

There used to be a professional soccer player in my Pilates class & he would always be on his phone during class looking at instagram & he would take phone calls, too — on speaker phone — and would never step outside no matter how firmly the teacher asked him to

Nike has stopped making the normal tennis shoes I like (a betrayal) and how can I buy new shoes when this is what is on offer. I’m not a little elf.

The illustrations in A Careful Selection of Whisk Ferns (1837) seem to reduce bonsai to its sparest visual elements. The result is something alien, algal — hardly recognizable as a plant at all... publicdomainreview.org/collection/s…

That unsettling feeling when someone you know/knew in real life is now a successful influencer // which might overlap with but is distinct from being successful in their chosen field

The Sun card from the summer "suit" of the Astronomia playing card deck, published in 1829. Featuring 3 other seasonal suits, the pack was used to play two games — Conjunction and Combination — which were trumps-based, similar to Whist. More here: publicdomainreview.org/collection/a...
