honestly the last few episodes really effed me up. i was vibing the scottish highlands then bam, outta nowhere just traumatised tf outta me 🫠 still a great show though, but like yeah the last couple of eps, not a vibe. also i was probably way too young to be watching this at the time….

i watched the entire first season while tragically hungover in cold scottish weather - made me simultaneously wish i was more AND less stereotypically australian. perfect mix of terrible dialogue, rough acting, and genuinely cool surfing
best enjoyed while still kinda cooked and yearning for greener pastures (or sunnier beaches)

I never finished the whole show and stopped mid season 2. Jacob has never seen any of it so I thought he needed to be culturally awoken!
I also heard that certain scenes were too triggering and were removed so I’m curious to see if that is true.

Season 2.
Severance Season 2 is next. I’m kinda lukewarm on bothering to watch season 2 because all was revealed in the season 1 finale. Now that the characters are in the know. The vibe changes from creepy confusion to a fight for truth & freedom.
Same with The Bear. (((((Sorta spoiler)))) The ”event” at the restaurant at the end of season 1 meant having newness. I liked the exact vibe of the tiny frustrating season 1. Newness isn’t what I was looking for. Same with Downton Abbey Season 1. The other seasons were great but they stopped the historical things I loved in season 1. Don’t get me started on Game of Thrones. I was interested specifically for the White Walker lore; then the show turned into a soap opera.

i don't think anyone ever intends to become a recreational ornithologist. but i've noticed that it definitely creeps up on you slowly in your mid-twenties. it starts with noticing how funny pigeons are, then learning pigeon lore, and suddenly you're feeding your neighbourhood birds every morning and buying books on birds. as a child i idolised the pigeon lady in home alone 2, and i woke up this morning and realised — i AM the pigeon lady 🐦

reading is a habit of building and developing your empathy and critical thinking skills. you’re forced to sit with an idea for however long you are reading it and forced to contextualise it and comprehend it within your own life and perspective. You can’t just scroll away or pause or put it on 2x speed. you have to sit with it. it’s super underrated, but genuinely I’ve made this a habit for the last year and feel like a totally different person. also you come out of it having learned something new or seeing the world in a slightly new way. I literally do not see any downsides to reading. make reading cool again! also you don’t have to do it in one big block, you can space it out — 15 mins here, 45 there — whatever works for you!

our cultural obsession with being perceived as cool is a disease. its peak capitalistic/consumerist propaganda. fuck being cool. like what you like and who cares if it's cool or not. it's tiresome and we need to leave it in 2024. literally nothing gives me the ick more than people who betray themselves in an attempt to be perceived as cool by the masses. be yourself — even if it means you're 'uncool'.
