The Blue Bouquet by Octavio Paz and The Sound Machine by Roald Dahl
an incomplete list of unsettling short stories I read in textbooks
the scarlet ibis
marigolds
the diamond necklace
the monkey’s paw
the open boat
the lady and the tiger
the minister’s black veil
an occurrence at owl creek bridge
a rose for emily
(I found that one by googling “short story corpse in the house,” first result)
the cask of amontillado
the yellow wallpaper
the most dangerous game
a good man is hard to find
some are well-known, some obscure, some I enjoy as an adult, all made me uncomfortable between the ages of 11-15
add your own weird shit, I wanna be literary and disturbed

What if I brought back Tumblr Live in the stupidest way possible? Ok so here's my idea:
Make a post that purely consists of the text "the post below this is a live stream"
Boot up some game, ideally a turn based one such as Wildfrost or Balatro
I reblog post one with a screenshot of the game and an intro
Every turn in game I screenshot the game state and edit the reblog made in the previous step, replacing it's entire contents with the new screenshot and any thoughts I have about the current turn
continue for the entire course of a stream The replies are chat. Nothing else is preserved unless someone else reblogs it at the right time.
I have invented the worst possible stream.

common misconception! Thomas Crapper didn't invent the flush toilet. it was actually patented by Alexander Cumming. what Crapper invented was the floating ballcock.

you've got 2 admit that the oft repeated command to "touch grass" in itself illustrates a great disconnect from the tru wholesomeness of the offline world. unless you meant a kind of wild grass, a lovely tassel cord rush or even the humble rattlesnake grass. but we know that's not what they mean. to the chronically online, grass = lawn and nothing more. and a lawn is an abomination on par with the worst brainworms big online has to offer. touching a lawn will not help you. You've got to go injure yourself on some swordgrass for god's sake
