It has occurred to me that I only wear my keffiyeh to absorb my tears.

Such is my shame

Also, the last time I looked, Ren was my boy busking in Brighton.

Now he is deservedly a fucking a list star, making tracks with Eminem.

Ren is a better rapper than Eminem.
He almost turned me.

I'm really not liking being alive right now. Expecting a cancellation.

Isn't that ironic? When you need human contact they silence you.

Yes I know there ought to be commas. That's how low I have fallen.

I just realised, watching a YouTube video about Ren, that I am no longer offered talking therapy because I am flagged as problematic.

First, sorry, but what the absolute fuck?

Wait, what? Sorry, I just tried to respond and apologise for being a dick and I couldn't. But now I can.

I wrote a whole thing about being autistic and single and sad and now I just look like. Oh.

I have tried to make this witty, and I just can't. The McLaren that invented folding aircraft wheels invented folding child buggies.

But Americans were too stupid to not trap children's fingers so they aren't allowed them.

If there was a point to my reply it was lost long ago.

I would be really interested if someone could explain how the current US is different to 1930s Germany.

And, for the record, their music is shit.

Also. No.

I stopped listening to Moby when his paedo urges towards Natalie Portman were made public.

None of my musical heroes were saints, although most harmed themselves before others.

But Oasis were all about harming others.

That swagger was hate, projected towards the 'other', be that posh people or southerners.

I may be southern and vaguely posh, but my discontent is unbiased.

Wait, what?

You are justifying egregious behaviour because music?

But Oasis's whole thing was their attitude, and to be honest the music is derivative at best.

Whilst I appreciate that cats are the touchstone of uncontrollable, one could place the poisoned food in a place physically unreachable by adored felines.

Little fucks can get anywhere. So poison that.

Sorry. I entered a dark place.

I feel awful because I cannot remember the context but find your comment so universally applicable.

I will look for my original comment. One moment. But the cat tho

First, thank you for a very human response.

Second, and this may just be a British thing, promotional emails are incessant. Yes there may be a specific black Friday thing (which we adopted through reflective colonialism) but honestly no more than usual.

Christmas is worse.

I don't wish to turn your world dark, but if they like a particular food dry, they will love it moist. Moisten and poison. I think I breached some laws even mentioning that.

Also, I am aware that this is the most autistic response to a casual remark

Is there a specific date for those? Sorry, I'm not cognitively firing on all cylinders. Not firing on all cognitive cylinders?

I'm mentally fucked.

Honest question, from what should we be unsubscribing?

Yes I have been living under a rock and that is only slightly metaphorical.

I'm not a well man, but I really do want to know if I'm doing something wrong.

Oasis are, and always will be, slightly unpleasant bullies. The guys that stand in your way outside the toilet.

Playing oddly aggressive Beatles covers for some reason.

It's not a class thing. It's a liking bullies thing. You do you.

I'm sure I won't be the first person to use the phrase "punching above his weight".

You are a lovely chap and all, but.

I'm not at all jealous of the superstar author who beautiful women adore...

So I bought a certain advent calendar that will provide tiny bottles of ink for my fountain pens.

Stupidly expensive but fills me with joy.

It is not unrelated to my return to this platform that I have decided to disengage with all medical services (specifically mental health but they are not separated here).

I'm back on this platform. Not dead. Nothing has changed yet everything is different

I have such a storied history with Born Slippy, but it is so much more than heroin

I know I shouldn't be surprised by an algorithm delivering the content I enjoy, but Satan by Orbital makes my hair tingle

My flat mostly smells of Camembert, which is reminiscent of an unrefrigerated morgue

It is almost impossible to convey how I don't go outside because of the fear that I might kill someone but I can't trust myself to not kill myself because of the guilt

My daughter got a short pixie crop haircut, very Betty Boop, and I told her that she is full lesbianist now, she agreed and I couldn't be prouder. She's 23, there aren't safeguarding issues lol
