#but still bringing snails to a party is a mood
*shows up to a high-society cocktail party with a purse filled w/ 300 garden snails* these are my escorts for the evening
this isn’t a shitpost, Patricia Highsmith (queer novelist) was just Like That™:
Highsmith loved cats, and she bred about three hundred snails in her garden at home in Suffolk, England. Highsmith once attended a London cocktail party with a “gigantic handbag” that “contained a head of lettuce and a hundred snails” which she said were her “companions for the evening.”(src)
