On A Longing For Heather (And Heathcliff)
the first time i went to the cloisters museum, a british girl in new york for the first time as an adult, i wandered through the park in a kind of geographical shock, feeling like i'd fallen suddenly home. i'm sad if you really do never get to come over here, but you're not wrong that that place comes a close second for colour and feeling (though not the sheer wild weirdness of the moors).

Dear Aunt Catherine,
Thanks for the sweater! I really appreciate it, it's been getting so cold over here, and it's not even December yet. Hope Uncle Joe's knee is healing up.
GOVERN YOURSELF ACCORDINGLY,
xee

@freetzy it's going to be the closing line on all my emails from now on.

On Meet Stanislaw Burzynski
@JABB is it the movie discussed here? because that blog post is quite a convincing takedown of the scientific half of the film, and the tenuousness of the 'Texas medical board trying to steal his patents' conspiracy theory (out of interest, does the TMB hold a lot of patents?).

On My Superpower Is Being Alone Forever
@ignerd "young enough that we can only really connect with other people via online communication but old enough to have a deeply held belief online dating is unacceptably creepy"
not quite so bad as 'unacceptably creepy' but yeah, the same way i'm excessively jumpy about the security of online shopping or online information or real names even (because when i first learnt the internet i learnt it was a place where things weren't as safe as they made out to be), i still can't get my head around the idea of specifically looking for dates on the internet.

@Mar seriously? the comments on the Klausner AV club piece were way more dismissive & bitchy & ignoring-what-she-actually-wrote-in-favour-of-personal attacks imo

On Gochujang: Korean Go-to, All-In-One Magic Chile Sauce
'fried egg sandwich with gochujang' is my #1 comfort food right now - the flavour makes me totally uncomplicatedly happy.
