I got invited to a fancy dress party in Birmingham. The theme was 'Spice'. I dressed as a giant chilli, but when I got there everyone was dressed as astronauts...

My IQ test results are back. They're negative.

Do yourself a favour and read James Baldwin’s works. I wish I’d started sooner.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

That’s right. Slowly swipe off this app and get off your phone.

@chennaimotorist 😄😄

Is it a coincidence that the first day of the new financial year is also April Fool’s Day?

Stop feeding - hunger/delusion/fantasy - start seeing the noticeable shift back to sanity/clarity.

Same question.

@chennaimotorist Really really not. 🙂

@brewedcoffeeice I really think you’re under estimating yourself.

I have friends who are brilliant at reading people: studying conditioning & forming sharp opinions. I often wonder how stunning their writing would be if they tried. I, with weak observation skills, feel this gap keenly in my own writing.

I would be pissed.

Let people be. Please.

And yet I try.

If you’re doom scrolling, do it standing.

It’s ok to be a little insane.

In 2002, Quentin Tarantino, one of the most influential film directors in the world, walked into a secondhand clothing store in Tokyo, Japan. A track was playing over the speakers. He asked the man behind the counter if he could buy the CD right then and there. The man refused. Tarantino offered twice the retail price. The man eventually gave in. The band was The 5.6.7.8's. Two sisters, Yoshiko and Sachiko Fujiyama, had been playing raw 1960s-influenced garage rock in Tokyo since 1986. They had a small but devoted following. Almost nobody outside Japan had heard of them. Within a year they were performing in Kill Bill: Volume 1, one of the most talked about films of 2003, playing to millions of people in cinemas around the world. Their song Woo Hoo, a cover of a 1959 American track they had never considered particularly important, became one of the most recognised opening riffs of a generation. It hit the top thirty in the United Kingdom. It appeared in television commercials around the world. Their tours went from Tokyo to North America, Europe and Australia. Jack White of The White Stripes, who became a fan, helped release their back catalogue through his Third Man Records label in the United States. Interestingly, back home in Japan, almost nothing changed. Their profile there remained almost exactly the same. They are still together. Still playing.
