Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 1hhonestly knowing nothing might be a good starting point because you can’t get wound up by interpretation and can just enjoy it on its own terms & for its own sake (don’t know if you’ve heard but she is very good) 000
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 3htell you what, i always forget that’s what Pete Hegseth looks like, he’s like someone ran the reverse animorph process on a cartoon crocodile 091
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 5hAs with so many things, you sort of have to think ‘is this an observable type or am i on a monocultural low information diet which i think is high information down to volume’ (see also any lifestyle article which claims ‘everyone’ is doing something when it means ‘my specific groupchat’) 010
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 5hyou could be right but i could also picture polymarket being involved 030
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 6hhegseth doesn’t seem hugely interested in grave statesmanlikeness but who knows 100
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 6hI do wonder how they’re going to organise it. Are there going to be ad breaks 100
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 6hi mean i don’t really get why this plan is substantially more ghoulish than people from all ends of the political spectrum who brag about how many execution vids they used to watch as teens (or for that matter whether state murder off stream is more civilised but ymmv) 110
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 7honce it’s been in someone else’s house for long enough you write it off and buy another one, annoying sure, litigating it in national newspaper? Totally cooked 010
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 8hi am not a campcel so i do not know how much a tent costs but it cannot be that much surely (do NOT lucille bluth me about this) 111
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 08/10/2026few writers (myself included! Don’t you worry!) are willing to admit that actually there doesn’t really need to be any more books. not really. there are tons. ‘I want to make money writing like many others have done before me and it’s not fair if i can’t do that’ is fine. We don’t have to posture 0100
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Frankly i think we’re on a hiding to nowhere rhapsodising about the spiritual value of art, most people don’t care & we’re better off with ‘i am good at it, there is no reason why i shouldn’t make my living doing it & it is a labour issue if art’s primary beneficiaries replace my job with a robot’ 1100
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 08/10/2026look if anything fewer people should be parents because if you find you’re no good at it there really are no take backsies BUT nothing makes it easier to shrug about weirdos being weird online than hearing my son bellowing ‘mama i have BEARS on my JUMPER’ up the stairs at me so there we go 080
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 07/10/2026if you don’t think everything can be reduced to a smug slogan before you are 40 you have no heart, if you don’t become a ‘i dunno pal, it depends’ guy after 40 you have no brain 050
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 07/10/2026sure a lot of this is probably ‘well you were bad parents’ but since ‘isolating victim from family and friends’ is a really common and observable abuser tactic, it would stand to reason that there are sizeable numbers of families being cut off who really have done nothing wrong 172
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Look i’m sorry, but it’s biohacking time - natural light in your eyes as soon as you get up for caffeine and before screen, taper down by replacing coffee with cacao, no caffeine on an empty stomach 020
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 07/10/2026i remember liking this essay & it’s a shame it didn’t work out but somehow the detail of the 6 month old baby escaped me at the time & regrettably the husband is immediately rubber stamped for a punishment dreamed up by a minor 3rd century client king 050
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I wonder if there may be instructive parallels in blithely throwing your lot in with people just because they appear to hate the same things you. Nah probably not 010
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 07/10/2026the text of the statement is pretty extraordinary if you can be bothered looking it up 100
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 06/10/2026 fun little fact i recently learned was that Angela Davis was cutting about making statements in support of Jim Jones and the People’s Temple in the late 70s. really there is nothing new under the sun 120
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 06/10/2026true! ‘9 favourite albums’ is impossible, ‘9 that give a sense of my taste overall’ i mean maybe but then what about records that i think shifted both the musical landscape in general and also are masterpieces but i would never put on in the car! What then! 010
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 06/10/2026oh just like watching some low talent student comedy society trying to recreate the general feel of the show after being beaten over the head with a brick, like such a flatline 020
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 06/10/2026oh yeah for sure, although for me there was a pretty obvious cut off point (the ireland episodes, absolutely rancid) 100
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I tried to do this and then i stressed myself out too much 130
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 06/10/2026‘towards an anti imperialist reading of the turner diaries’ 170
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I used to be keen on guilt by association, & have changed my mind on it but it is funny when you see people defending those they find sympathetic with ‘they were smeared for quite simply [totally innocuous version of what i believe]’ & then you find out what they actually have to say for themselves 190
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 03/10/2026i told Big T that i loved him the other day and he said ‘yep’ 060
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 03/10/2026not to Discourse but nothing shook me out of my ‘i should quit my lily livered soft hand pansy computer job’ posturing more than seeing lads on house renovation jobs during the heatwave, no my grandfather would not be proud but equally i am not shifting tiles under a violent sun 0120
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 02/10/2026oh yeah lmao, shame i didn’t print that one out to show my son when he’s old enough to admire his mother’s intellectual and creative heft 020
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 02/10/2026i really don’t mourn twitter at all, think i got what i was going to get from it, but then i remember i once spent a good hour being told off by a total stranger because i’d tweeted something along the lines of ‘there’s no such thing as a janeane garofolo’ & the tears start falling 1100
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 02/10/2026issuing an enormous cloud of Lost Mary double strawberry as i tell everyone in the playground that the cartoon squirrel has been fragged by her own side for posting nazi blank verse on discord 060
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The article pointed out that she agreed to meet Nixon but refused to meet a panda which i think is a funny non sequitur 040
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Pandas getting into flame wars on r:/TTC when other posters suggest they deviate from their all-bamboo diet and maybe start taking b12 040
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 02/10/2026trialling recently learned information about Thatcher properly hating pandas here before i take it to a more discerning audience (mums chat) 4251
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 27/09/2026ah congrats love, looking forward to getting him on mic so he can do some on-record yelling ❤️ 030
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 25/09/2026i feel like there are 3 separate issues here, 1 you don’t fuck around with someone else’s cooking 2 it is totally reasonable to want someone to turn off the cooker before they wander off so you don’t burn the gaff down 3 if you won’t take proper care of expensive cookware there’s no point having it 041
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 24/09/2026really keen on Jan’s Creature Reports, please keep them coming 010

Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 18/09/2026generational wars are boring but i was reminded today of an old friend trying to break up with someone while andrew wk’s party hard played in the background and that’s the sort of rich experience a 25 year old is totally deprived of 0276
Phoebe @phoeberoi.bsky.social · 15/09/2026in the film version of Room on the Broom, Timothy Spall does a really sexy line reading of ‘now i must fly’. do you think that was a directors note or is Timothy Spall just a slut 010
![Appalled at the prospect, she scribbled in her customary blue felt pen on the note: ‘i am not [double underlined] taking a panda with me. pandas and politicians are not happy omens! Lord Z knows more about pandas than I do and I am sure he can arrange these things.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bo7tdsv2y7ptrvzc6grtnsv7/bafkreidwg5b6lohzn5lhl7hk2ge4qkyxctk7a25fwge4purz55zqeglykq)
