i’ve met maybe three long haul truck drivers and they were all serbian. one drove my dad’s car across the country. the others were Uber drivers who were thrilled to show me photos of the scenery from their truck driving days.

unfortunately because of speed regulation and infrastructure that hasn’t been updated for decades these trains will rarely actually go 150mph — it’s still an amazing experience to take Acela but the they’ll stay around the same speed as normal amtraks for most of the trip
eating high protein breakfasts first thing every day has done amazing things for my wellbeing and i can’t even be like “nobody told me breakfast is good!” because every person ever has told me. here’s some favorites:
local pork sausage and pasture raised egg scramble with

imagine sending a completely offputting and vaguely concerning message with no clear response to a very normal question and then saying “they’re so weird”

kinda similar — in 2016 my sister classically conditioned our family cat for a 10th-grade psychology project. played the "circles" ringtone on an iphone and fed him some water from a can of tuna. to this day, he will come sprinting to that ringtone even if there is no tuna water
how many more instagram photoshoots taken on a shitty digital point-and-shoot with brighter flash than when that angel appeared to mary and joseph of girls wearing nightgowns in pink bedrooms putting on lipstick or reading the bible or crying or whatever can we endure...
if you want a girlfriend or boyfriend you have to stop gameifying attraction with dating apps, stop quantifying entirely qualitative factors, and actually be very normal about things. it is possible!
i’m not reading the age gap discourse in the cut. i’m not reading the 19 year old stanford kid in the atlantic. i’m basking in the spring sun, watching flower petals waft by in the breeze. having a coffee. i’m watching freckles appear on my shoulders again
i live in philadelphia and there are almost no public spaces open past 6pm except for bars and restaurants. any semblance of a "third space" such as a diner, coffee shop, library, etc. that caters to all ages in the evening and night is nonexistent
ohhhhhh it's an intimate work about digital girlhood? should we tell everyone? should we throw a party? should we invite petra collins and the red scare girls?
my freshman year at college an administrator told my parents i’d never graduate because of my mental health.
anyways, i’m graduating with a double major in creative writing and american studies and my petty dad is mailing that administrator printed copies of my grad photos.

bob haircut with layers. use medium to large foam rollers to do an overnight wet set with setting spray (i use suavecito). brush it out with the biggest paddle brush you can find. it takes a few tries to get the wet set — towel dry you hair. smaller rollers = 1920s film star

try getting on a train across america for five to eight days. you certainly will not regret getting on a train across america for five to eight days.

there isn’t a strong consensus in philly to which personal injury advertisement is fondly recognizable as much as the universal visceral hatred throughout the city of jawn morgan
eBay emails love to be like “remember when you thought you were gonna buy a Soviet cigarette case at 3am? here’s a new one every hour in your inbox for the rest of eternity”

i’ll post the full menu tomorrow but tonight I prepped:
• fennel, lime pith, ginger, and peppercorns pickled in champagne vinegar (for crudo)
• roasted mustard seeds aka the working woman’s caviar (for salmon rillette crostinis)
• spicy pepperdew tomato sauce (for
i found the cutest dress that i nearly screamed with joy when i fit into it so if you come for anything besides the poetry and open mic, make it my outfit
personally, my “girlhood” wasn’t hanging rosaries in my bedroom and wearing bows or whatever. it was all about watching “four weddings” on TLC and criticizing fully grown women’s weddings as tacky and classless at the ripe age of eleven
guy on a first date at this coffee shop spending 15 minutes explaining to the woman why he doesn't have a job and then asking "do you know what letterboxd is?"

I’m so happy this video makes the rounds every month or so… you WILL watch a sobbing Serge Gainsbourg being honored by singing children with cigarettes yet again, and you WILL be happy about it!
The Europeans really got café society right.
From stylish twenty-and-thirtysomething bohemian types congregating to leathery Sicilian men collecting state pensions while slamming espresso and cigarettes all day, it’s the perfect daytime setting for very pro-social behavior
Coffee shops are magical. The more coffee you drink, the longer your lifespan. Disregarding the caffeine, you still get a huge focus boost by being in a bright, public place. It could be a 'third space,' but you're too afraid to let out your inner golden retriever
throw the words "phoebe bridgers" "sad" and "bisexual" in a blender and tweet the results and it will get minimum 25k likes from white women with "it's me, hi, i'm the problem, it's me" in their bio
not to sound like a feudal european peasant but a few slices of bread in rich broth with a drizzle of olive oil and black pepper is one of the best meals you can eat
