I’m extremely charmed by the dog’s perspective. He’s so British!

The seasons long for each other, like men and women, in order that they may be cured of their excess.
Spring, if it lingers more than a week beyond its span, starts to hunger for summer to end the days of perpetual promise. Summer in its turn soon begins to sweat for something to quench its heat, and the mellowest of autumns will tire of gentility at last, and ache for a quick sharp frost to kill its fruitfulness.

I get that this is for kids and they can’t say kill or show pokemon actually eating other pokemon, but I think it would be cooler if they did

Weezing eats air pollutants and expels clean air? Weezing they could never make me hate you 🥹🤧

2022: swallowed by a whale and chewed by its stomach, if you can believe that shit.

“Don’t yell at me! What is your problem that you can’t see me? Maybe you saw your reflection in the ocean so long, it’s the only far you recognize. No wonder you killed yourself. You got sick and finally had a reason to need me, but when you looked around, oops. Not there. Of course you’d want to fall off the boat. Join yourself at the bottom of the sea. It was weak. You were weak.”

I don’t understand this argument. Yes Jay ran away at 15, but that doesn’t mean he should have been as mature as his 50+ year old father, nor does he share blame in his father’s selfish actions. Mitt Gardiner was a bad father, full stop. His abuse of Jay was enabled not only by jay’s mom and sisters, but by the whole town. Just because this abuse was hidden under the guise of teaching doesn’t make it okay.

“I should have listened.”
(We should have learned to speak)
“I should have known.”
(We should have been a better teacher)
“I should have understood.”
(We should have allowed confusion)
“I wish we could start over.”
(We wish it too)
“I’m going home now, right?”
(Yes you are going home)

Truth never outweighs mercy.

Lily you stupid bitch

This audiobook has everything that annoys me:
1. People slurping like they are drinking/eating
2. Excessive stuttering on every line of dialogue
3. Pretend interruptions

I don’t care if that makes it more realistic, it’s an awful listening experience.

You keep saying fantastic. I do not think you know what it means.

Finally back with my Belgian boy ☺️

On one hand, extremely racist to say Arabs only understand shouting and not normal British voices. On the other hand, Palestine mention 🇵🇸

I can’t believe that musical improv is saving the day

“They’re boys’ fictions. That’s what they are.”

Oh shut the fuck up

Stories about stories with stories in stories 🤔

“The American you come from, who was president when you left?”
“I didn’t leave. Or maybe… well. Clinton. Bill Clinton.”
“And before him?”
“George Bush.”
“Ah. And before Bush, Raegan, and before him… who?”
“Jimmy Carter.”
“Ah, you come from one of those americas. You have my sympathy.”

WHY CAN I NOT ESCAPE YOU WIL WHEATON???

I get why it's cat-people and not straight-up cats, but I am still disappointed :(
