remember that thing that miranda july did

i'm thankful to share the notes i sent to my group chat about last night's love island, which, out of context if you're not watching the show live, are probably incomprehensible (it's now streaming at a two week delay on hulu), but also i love seeing other people's semi-private documents (shared consensually!) out of their original context (remember that thing that miranda july did like a hundred years ago? we have had so many years of email newsletters) and so i share mine: _ lol at tash interrupting danica’s first really nice moment of connection with a boy after endless rejection!!!

the mixed metaphor of a puppy at a candy shop

why did you not? (give a compliment, excellent chat)

jacques: i change my mind every five minutes WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT

lumineers

jacques sucksssssss

i hate him

weird bro agreement between guys about granular physical contact before bed with special high five nooooo ty

“you’re already in a hole so you might as well keep digging”

the dude who came on to ekin-su in the night and had to be aggressively rejected: NO. what a weird uncomfortable conversation afterward.

ekin-su’s sunglasses are so big

“it’s hard being good looking”

everytime they say molly’s name i try to replay the sentence as if it’s about the drug

STAY IN THE POOL WITH YOUR ERECTION ANDREW

i asked deborah if she would be mad if we were on love island and went to casa amor and i slept in the same bed as another girl instead of sleeping on a sun bed outdoors by myself and she said “i don’t know, probably?”

deborah points to a theory of the strange blandness of the chat on the show, which is that there are no external reference points and it’s so true. no literature or film or music or politics or anything beyond these abstract ideas of TYPE and RELATIONSHIP. the show is an entirely closed system, beckett play

andrew is so lame

tash doing hilariously aggressive Sexy Pose on the lounge chairs with billy

deborah “why is ‘house on fire’ a saying”

the most emo “getting ready for the night” montage _

i'm thankful for another glimpse of private documents that has repeatedly brought me joy, which is the coda to the last farts and procreation episode where harris, chelsea, adam, and scott are reading the chain of emails that they sent to each other while trying to schedule the recording (starts at 1:12).
