My lunch today was a protein bar, a bag of Doritos, and a coke zero. I'm living the dream.

I'm all for this, but I don't want to pigeon-hole myself into having to vote for Jill Stein.

Enough is enough, you know?

My perfect show: The Great British Baking Show

My mom’s perfect show would be a show where a bunch of housewives renovate a haunted house that they are going to flip after they host a singing competition. / cr

It's in the desert, so daytime is 90s-100s but nights can get a bit chilly. Maybe they need that leather jacket to complete their "lewk."

Forget the coats, I always look at the shoes. I see women pictured in heels at Coachella and I instantly know they aren't there for the music. Who tf walks around a polo field for twelve hours in heels?

What I don’t get about Coachella outfits is wtf the weather is supposed to be. Everyone is in sundresses and tanktops but then there’s fur and leather and puffy coats. What in god’s name can the temperature be?

Damn, why you gotta come at me like that?

Me every morning: ahhh today I’m going to be healthy this is the day Breakfast: fruit Lunch: sandwich Dinner: salad Midnight snack: 47 inch cheese pizza topped with Mac and cheese and mini burger patties to garnish and for dessert one of those giant snickers made out of many smaller snicker bars

omg you guys need to stop

I'm always the jerk mom, too.

But you know what? Those other moms are FAKE because if they really are sad about their kids going to school, they'd home school.

It never fails. When I say in a group of moms how excited I am that all 3 kids will be in school next year, I’m the only one who feels that way, and I feel like the worst mom ever, but they are the worst, because they are liars. We all want a break, so shut up.

Of course we love our kids and will miss them, but you know who else I miss? ME.

ME!

Anyway, I’m literally ALWAYS the jerk mom in every group. Bye, kids. See ya.

The only people who think confetti is a good party decoration are those who don't have to clean up when the party is over.

Confetti Balloons Are Two Party Decorations in One

Balloons make a great addition to any party, but isn’t it kind of boring how they just float around? Now you can get some balloons that go the extra mile: Confetti balloons are a new trend of party decorations that explode into clouds of color when popped.

I know the devil - she moved in circles, and those circles moved, wall within wall to shut fear out. The night the moon cracked open with miles to go before I sleep, I stole her out of the moon, she whose hands shipwreck glasses, with grace that makes fairies hide. I asked her: Do I dare disturb the universe? For my purpose holds to sail past the sunset while on the floor the quiet ashes fall. I have measured out my life in coffee spoons, places, and names, and where it was you meant. She said, Dying is an art, and you are marvelous, the gods wait to delight in you. Carry on, carry on. I packed up the moon and dismantled the sun because it is bitter, and because it is my heart. And this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart: the form of life is a motion. You’re not a wave, you are the sea

I asked you for your favourite lines of poetry, and I turned it into a little poem about feeling weary and getting the drive to carry on from a most unlikely source. I don’t recommend actually asking the devil for help, just fyi. Consider it a metaphor. Heck, maybe you are the devil. Maybe your anxiety is the devil. Yes. OK. I’ve analysed my own work and it now makes sense. Happy world poetry day!

Brad just found this in his saved reminders. Looks like Winslow is really worried about missing Christmas

[thekidsareup]

Actually, ghosts are real and they are all around you. You just can't see them because they are invisible but you are always touching them. And the air is made of ghosts.

Winslow just informed me that he's going to marry someone named Stella and they will travel to their wedding on a maglev.

yknow theres a lot of pressure to be successful, particularly on artsy kids whose professions are seen as useless unless theyre famous, but life is fucking hard and sometimes things dont turn out

but i think thats not bad. my dad has wanted to be a musician forever, and hes rly pretty good. but then he joined the military to get away from an abusive family, and then he got married, and then he got divorced, and a lot of horrible shit HAPPENED. he has ptsd and severe anxiety and he could never really get back on the horse. and he never made it as a musician, and now hes 53

but i grew up in a house full of instruments, and he can play all of them, and some of my earliest memories are of him playing guitar on the front porch and me thinking there wasnt a better musician in the world. so. even if you dont get to the stars, exactly, what you do isnt worthless. its not a waste of time if life is difficult and you cant make it, or if you arent famous, or if your work doesn’t influence thousands of people. it will influence someone

there are a million ways to be happy and a million ways to be a successful artist. we create what we do to enhance the human experience and relate to each other and improve ourselves. theres something to be said for just doing that,,,for the sake of doing it, yknow
