"Leandra and Malcolm are toxic parents!"

Yes, but that's what living in survival mode does to people.

forever fascinated at the way different lecturers mark. I’ve had two in this MBA now that plant me squarely in the plus 80% rubric for everything material (analysis, critical thinking etc), but then make me down to 79.95% and send me feedback like ‘use less semi colons’ and ‘you write long things with big words! Big words hard!’ And ‘Indent the second line of your references’ And ‘use more sub headers’ and ‘break up your recommendation section with more subheaders for each recommendation so dumb execs can read them more easy’

And while I don’t disagree - a huge part of learning to write for parliament for example was the whole ‘target a reading skill level of 11 years old’ but my default is definitely a very convoluted and sloppy ‘blah blah surprise big word blah’ - I can’t help but think: oh yes, 20% loss and two pages of feedback on my report *formatting* and zero comment on my *content* is *exactly* the sort of meaningful career-improving feedback I was expecting from a $5k *per unit* course cost…

“Athough written many years ago, Lady Chatterley’s Lover has just been reissued by Grove Press, and this fictional account of the day-by-day life of an English gamekeeper is still of considerable interest to outdoor-minded readers, as it contains many passages on pheasant-raising, the apprehending of poachers, ways to control vermin, and other chores and duties of the professional gamekeeper. Unfortunately, one is obliged to wade through many pages of extraneous material in order to discover and savour these sidelights on the management of a Midland shooting estate, and in this reviewer’s opinion this book cannot take the place of J. R. Miller's Practical Gamekeeping.”

- Ed Zern providing probably the greatest review of Lady Chatterley ever written (Field & Stream magazine, 1959).

Modern-era Tommy, Arthur and John walking down a footpath together while talking about something pointed, and a guy on an electric scooter zooms along coming from the opposite direction. without breaking stride or conversation, Arthur shoves the guy and scooter full onto the road and John boots the guy’s dropped satchel across with a little gleeful hop-skip-kick

i’m obsessed with the mum from ponyo. driving single lane on a cliff edge? drift those turns in your nissan cube. husband has to work an extra shift? tell him to fuck off in morse code. pet fish turned into a child on your driveway? adopt her. town drowned in a tsunami? leave your 5 year old in charge, he’s the man of the house now

You know when dogs sit outside with their face turned towards the sun and their eyes closed and they look so relaxed and when you pet them they’re warm that’s how I want to feel always
