The way memory is the ringing after a gunshot. The way we try to remember the gunshot but can’t. The way memory gets up after someone has died and starts walking.

Actually, people are good by nature and you're a fool if you think otherwise.

any knight born after 1200 can’t achieve the holy grail, all they know is feasting, charge their horse, kill, have affair, go mad in the forest & cry

A common misconception: Brutalist architecture was actually named after the distinctive stylistic choice of leaving the raw construction material visible on the building - the name derives from french brut, meaning "raw", or "unprocessed" - and actually has no connection with the idea of making buildings that look brutal on purpose.
You're getting it mixed up with turbobrutalism, which is an architectural style invented by me, 35 minutes ago, which focuses entirely on constructing concrete skyscrapers, wizard towers and other evil buildings, that are specifically intended to look raw and savage as hell.

So I've been learning French for a while and 'faire' is actually an incredible word. Like what a fucking breakthrough in economy of language.
Faire is a verb that is usually translated into English as "to do/to make," but it covers way more actions than that, which is very confusing for new speakers. because (I have realized) that's not really what faire means.
Faire is actually a word that just gestures vaguely in the direction of the object of the sentence and goes "you know." "Je fais du velo." "Je fais du courses." "Je fais mes valises." I'm biking. I go grocery shopping. I'm packing my bags. You're just sort of pointing at a bike and going "you know, the obvious thing you'd do with it."
English: "You mean RIDE it??"
French: "Sure whatever."
Like idk I just really enjoy the concept of a catch-all verb that you can just slap onto almost anything because who fucking gives a shit, you get the idea. There's a bike. what do you think I'm going to do with it.

one of my favourite things in the world is casual intimacy. a small hand on your back when you’re in crowded streets. a gentle kick from where they’re sitting across the table. a head on the shoulder, a hand in your hand, a squeeze on the arm as they’re walking past you. and i think maybe love isn’t made up of grand gestures or explosive displays but that it’s made up of the little things. the little things that say i’m here and i care for you and that your life has intertwined so deeply into mine that that there’s no need to think, because casual intimacy comes easy

spent the day walking around in dc, having surprisingly fantastic conversations with strangers, which was great for me in every way, but there’s nothing like rolling down your windows on a backroad home, breathing in the humid lilac-honeysuckle air that visits when spring turns to summer.

Walking through your neighborhood on a cool morning, your lover’s birthday, rain clouds crawling over the mountains, seeing your breath in night air, the moon reflecting off skyscrapers, dewy grass beneath your feet, the sunset pooling into your room, drinking from the same cup, running into the same stranger again and again, glitter in the corner of your friend’s eyes, energy collecting in a room full of happy people, dancing together in the kitchen, learning a new friend’s full name, driving through the desert with the windows down, coyotes dashing across the street, an armful of flowers
