Rebecca Jane Shaw on The Spinoff!!!!!!

Been having some upsetting interpersonal stuff going on but I’m also really enjoying being awake and alive at the moment, and I had a dream my mum congratulated me on finally learning to compartmentalise (her specialty)

A government that doesn’t allow its prisoners to vote has a vested interest in imprisoning those who would vote them out of power

I mean I am going to be giving you a lecture about this Rebecca.

“Thumb war” just sounds wrong!!

MelaNIE! MelaNIE! (Chanting)

We are going to be having a chat about this

Oh hell yeah the all-timer. Incredible stuff. Who betrayed her

Forgot about that

I mean other than in my frequent job as an editor

Nope! Nor is it anyone’s place! u can only do it if they love u a LOT e.g Bec or if it’s unconditional e.g. my immediate family. Does not stop me doing it in my head tho

Certainly! Certainly! And when things are confusing, care should be taken to help people navigate the confusion! But everyone has been left without instruction! And it is not socially acceptable for me to furnish them with it now! So I just let them all swim in their murky ass meaning… but it hurts

A very important aspect indeed. I actually sometimes try to trick myself into believing someone is talking about sex when they are meaning the not sex one. Sometimes it almost works. But deep down I know they are not having sex :(

Which includes being sad together I think and it sucks we’re all fucked up but legit at least we are fucked up about it!!!!! At least we still have the Marvy human violence of our feelings. I don’t mean this as a bright side I mean it as like survival tactics

I go like no fuck you my love for humanity is turbo and unfuckuppable, something I didn’t necessarily feel or think about it before, they go ‘didn’t heed the warnings from sci-fi’ and I go ‘BUT I DID’. Best medicine for me is friends and community and staying human as fuck together ❤️❤️🩷🩷🩷💙❤️❤️❤️🩷🩷💙🩷

Hallo! here 2 commiserate. I was at a point last year about it all where I was like, I’m fucking off from society I fkn can’t handle this anymore, but then my sister talked me round to “that would be letting the AI win, cutting humans off from each other is the point” and now when I feel desolate —

Love, if we allow the use of the word for a moment, is a set of emotions that can be so obliterative of the self. It changes us, shapes us toward each other in ways we can't even see. To do that with a human is an act of mutual trust. To do that with a service is to only be shaped.

I do think songwriters have a lot to answer for. They need editors

Ok v funny because I legit smile a little smile of gratitude every time I hear that chorus cos it’s made to appease me. Many other songs I have to correct when I sing along. Savage garden I want to LIE like this forever. Goodnight nurse stay with me LIE with me. 2 hot fresh examples

All legit!!!!

Yeah hundy with u on that

Does anyone else in this godforsaken world give the slightest shit about the difference between the verbs to lay and to lie. Every single day I hear multiple people misuse lay. Am I supposed to not be bothered by this. Is everyone else just fine with it

Envy of angels it’s a perfect album, I also love salty very much, I am excited to watch this documentary of nz’s coolest uncle thank u

Anchor me quotes my very favourite bit of Shakespeare ever! Also I recently had a birthday party woth a lot of mutton birds on the plylist and I managed to get one Australian into the mutton birds by doing that and tht is gods work. I consider him an incredible songwriter have you listened to

I feel like by this stage in our lives it’s always both

Let’s make things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

to be human is to suck shit at art for at least a little while

Elon Musk tweeting money doesn’t buy happiness is so funny bro give it away then. A billion dollars might not bring happiness but $250k definitely would. They aren’t happy cause they aren’t the only ones happy. They aren’t happy cause too many people can go for walks, take vacations, and buy food.
