“What a thrill, what a shock, to be alive on a morning in June, prosperous,...”
– Michael Cunningham, The Hours (via drinkyourjuice)
We'll feed it whelks.
Jens: Can you have an otter as a pet?
Rosa: Wait what
Rosa: I never even thought of that
Rosa: Oh god I want a pet otter
Rosa: It has to be a sea otter
Rosa: We can keep it in a bath of salt water
Jens: You could call it Potter 8-)
Rosa: SHUT UP
Rosa: YOU'RE RUINING IT
Jens: Sorry, sorry, yes, sea otter in the bath tub, continue

flashover
dictionaryofobscuresorrows:
n. the moment a conversation becomes real and alive, which occurs when a spark of trust shorts out the delicate circuits you keep insulated under layers of irony, momentarily grounding the static emotional charge you’ve built up through decades of friction with the world.

Also
I feel too tired and dodgy to do anything about the fact my Pottermore Welcome email finally arrived. Which I think really shows how serious things are.
Also also I realised I can’t be on Tumblr until I’ve caught up with normality and watched Let’s Kill Hitler.
Just to let you guys know,
the posts you’ve been getting over the past day or two have been from my Queue, because I have all of a sudden got busy.
I’ve had all-day rehearsals this weekend, and due to various other factors I’ve spent the entire time either hungover or feeling exceptionally ill/exhausted.
Anyway, at the moment I feel too ill to look at a computer screen, so. Yeah.

Strawberries
fuckyeahpoetry:
There were never strawberries like the ones we had that sultry afternoon sitting on the step of the open french window facing each other your knees held in mine the blue plates in our laps the strawberries glistening in the hot sunlight we dipped them in sugar looking at each other not hurrying the feast for one to come the empty plates laid on the stone together ...

rosareads:
Not actually sure if I’ll actually have wi-fi on the train down to Cornwall, which is irritating. I haven’t had a chance to queue up any posts, so I’m afraid this could be the last you hear from me for another week.
I promise I’ll post like mad to make up for it once I’m back.
WatchOh god what have I done?

On London: Rioting in Media Context
ITV Reporter: Is rioting the correct way to express your discontent?
Young Londoner: You wouldn't be talking to me now if we didn't riot, would you?
ITV Reporter: ...
Young Londoner: Two months ago we marched to Scotland Yard, more than 2,000 of us, all blacks, and it was peaceful and calm and you know what? Not a word in the press. Last night a bit of rioting and looting and look around you.
Back in Leeds.
After a positively blissful ten days in Scotland. Did absolutely nothing productive, not even reading. And also managed to avoid the media (not out of choice, mind) entirely, so left the safety and sanity of St Andrews to return to England, where apparently everything has gone entirely tits up.
Currently sat with my eyes on two screens, shouting abuse at Theresa May, who is on the BBC News...
Dearest Sara,
I have this scheduled to post on your birthday, so I really bloody hope it works.
I just wanted to tell you how much I love you. I miss your stupid face so much and I cannot wait for you to come and visit and spend the entire trip being totally confused by the UK.
This time last year something that looked a lot like this was going on:
And also (not pictured): Various people whose names I have...
