My brain instantly shrinks + forgets numbers when ppl start talking about the square footage of things.

"So how many square ft. would you say this house/garage/spoon/idgaf is?"

Idk Kyle, but my interest in this conversation measured in square feet is a hard zero.

@iLLPeTiLL @getoffmybeans I'm sorry to hear all that, but congrats on the new job!

our hearts were half-buried in the dirt licking weeds and ignoring wounds, and we dressed in the kind of summer
that dies brilliantly

@iLLPeTiLL Wow that's a lot of epic news all at once. Congrats!

A lady just came up to me and said “Speak English, we are in San Diego.” So I politely responded by asking her “how do I say ‘San Diego’ in English?” The look of bewilderment on her face made it feel like a Friday.

@Thinking_Capp It's a rad chappy too

[Marya Layth @MaryaLayth]

I miss your hands / and the way your watch / told everything but the time

it counted things like thunder / and legs of melted ice cream

[Marya Layth @MaryaLayth]

your garden is all spine and no heart / because / the night hour is what happens / when you paint a room yellow / and then call it light

@iLLPeTiLL Right? I had to Google a pic of it because it didn't come up anywhere in Twitter's GIFS 👵

What do you call it when there is an obligatory person in your life who is so overbearing that when you see they text you, your immediate response is to pick up the phone and scream "NOOOOOOOO" at it before even reading the message?

Asking for a friend (:
