Happy early Thanksgiving, beautiful Paste readers!
Y’all, I think I’m going to do it. I think I’m going to take “a break” from Twitter and Instagram. It’s one thing to be obsessed with death; it’s going to happen to all of us. But lately, I’ve been espousing theories about demons and demonic entities on podcasts and on Twitter, and it’s worrying my friends and family and strangers who’ve just met me.
Should I start reading like… books or some shit? Can you all recommend me some? Preferably it’ll have lots of very short chapters, very short paragraphs, crazy big pictures, and no real narrative, so I can just jump in and out at will. Growing up, I had a real thing for encyclopedias and illustrated dictionaries, so maybe I’ll just attempt recapturing that magic from a past life.
Finally some free time. Should I push the button on my phone that makes me feel bad about my career, the one that makes me feel bad about my body, or the one that makes me feel bad about the people I grew up with?
All this “30 under 30” and “13 going on 30” shit, don’t let it get in your head. Edgar Allen Poe didn’t marry his 13 year old cousin until he was 27. Qin Shi Huang didn’t unify China until he was 38 and he killed possibly millions of people in the process & burned sacred texts.
thinking about how in the Dark Knight Rises batman gets his back broken and then somehow heals himself (??) and then defeats bane by just punching him harder. that’s like me getting back together with my ex by telling her “this time babe, I’m going to cum even faster”
i used to do a bit on facebook where i’d subtly make weird claims in random arguments, & cite this magazine i had also made called “Scientific Facts.” It worked every single time, & the page got a shitload of corroborating likes even though it was just a bunch of posts like this pic.twitter.com/u5V63ihff1
Today Lindsay Lohan came to the place I worked at and we started talking and I mentioned that my son needed a kidney transplant but I couldn’t find a donor. She stood silent for a few minutes then went to her car and came back and gave me her own kidney. God bless! pic.twitter.com/FJrtJN4kBr
