I dream in the tasteless Tudorbethan paradise of the Himalayas. Imagine making £10,000/year here teaching schoolchildren Richardson, living in the tackiest manor in all the world, the snow collecting in the gables.

Don’t be slimy.
I lost all respect for Ezra Pound studying his cantos. He's a carpetbagger & a fraud. What he means by charged is with juju, not meaning. He was an early adopter of the vibes-based humanities-economy. He dove in head first by coining ostensibly Grecian terminology like phanopoeia, which was selling literature out to film for a bowl of chili. He was using the old Greek system, which used a scientia in a manner we ascribe to math now, like a skin suit. And while we're on the topic, anyone in the humanities who uses the formula x is just y, or x is simply y, has six months of spirit remaining before the lights go out. I'll stop this tweet now before I start accidentally using opinions.

Having been miserable most of my life, I am now studying philology at one of the best universities in the world, I have a beautiful dirt cheap flat IN The City, 50g of Amber Leaf, a man beside me, a 10 pm at St. JOHN & almost 100 Great white British Pounds to spend as I please.

I live 25 mins walk from my beloved Barbican and my Hebrew is good enough to read Deuteronomy and my parents sent me $80 for no reason yesterday. How is the world so kind?

There are people in the world who use the term “writer” to describe themselves. Dark stuff

In my forthcoming literary memoir I recount my horror at finding my ninth ex-husband, Sir Walter Whorehound, in bed with a prostitute.

Nobody talks about Jarmusch’s Only Lovers Left Alive, not even in passing, one of the greatest films of the 2010s

There is nothing but rape in the koala world.
What thou lovest well is thy true heritage What thou lov’st well shall not be reft from thee There is nothing but rape in the koala world.
