death grips 😳
i think it’s interesting how it is possible to categorize people on whether or not they write in lowercase or uppercase, and to be so brutally honest, in all casual and unacademic scenarios, uppercase fucking pisses me OFF. there is no need for you, a nineteen year old boy with fucking frosted highlights and some rick owen’s adjacent jockstrap to text “ Like this”.
but i digress
i love linguistics - and i love poetry, i love literary elements - i love repetition and i like how within the word repetition the vowels repeat themselves. i love language, i love speaking, i love how the meaning of words changes depending on yes..its connotation, but also the connotation from the spelling itself
isn’t that so fucking cool?
example )
🟥 you’re a fucking bitch
🟩 your a fucking bitch
🟦 You’re a fucking bitch.
a) connotation is still aggressive, but the words feel ( on the basis of their spelling, specifically that they are lowercase ) less serious than they would otherwise
b) given it has the wrong “your”, meaning is once again devolved from its original intention based on its failure in correct grammar
c) shit is getting SERIOUS babe. contains all the hallmarks for a legitimate intention and drives this intention in a way that fully encapsulates the frustration
i dunno. i’m super duper hungry and would go feral for a hamburger right now

♥️there are two types of solo dates i go on:
one, where i sit with myself like at a restaurant/cafe i wanted to try or a movie i really wanted to see to enjoy it how i want to
or two, where i surround myself with a new community so i feel less alone but I AM alone bc no one knows me
options for one: movies, cafe/restaurant, library, thrifting, doing art outside, spa day, making a new meal at home, getting a sweet treat
options for two: cooking classes, gym/zoomba classes, book clubs, pottery, hiking groups, escape rooms
these are off the top of my head but enjoy yourself love there’s no one better to have fun with than yourself !
