nobody will remember:
- your salary
- how “busy you were”
- how many hours you worked
people will remember:
- if you ate the plums that were in the icebox
- the ones I was probably saving for breakfast
- serious, asshole, where the fuck are they?

This was very vulnerable for me, as I haven't really written much about my mental health crisis and illness. But seeing parallels to my own experiences of isolation and fear while reading @cruising_utopia's The Listeners has given me an opening to do that.

A person called OwlKitty changed the Business Card scene from “American Psycho” to the guys showing each other pictures of their cats on their phones… and it could possibly be the greatest masterpiece ever 😂

A good way to tell elder millennials from younger ones is to shriek-sing “PEACHES COME FROM A CAN” at them and see what happens
