"commit random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty"
My beast of a sweet potato. It was sprouting, so I shoved it into the ground. We're both happy with this arrangement. Excuse the weeds - a skunk has been coming in & out of the backyard and I've been too scared to get rid of them. More supermarket produce! These red lettuce look like garnets, but they taste okay. Lots and lots of carrots... ... Who knew they could be so hard to photograph? reply…
I interpreted the Backrooms (2026) to be a story about grief and memory, and how rumination degrades what we remember. Even the movie's dialogue is circular at times (I liked the callback to Mary and Clark's roleplay sessions near the end). This would've hit harder if I felt more connected Mary and Clark. In theory, theyre good characters - they have distinct voices, fears and motivations, and…
I haven't drawn digitally in so long. My finger is numb, I need a stylus.
I honestly don't remember where I got this notepad from. I like it though.
Work really hard & you will be rewarded (false! You have to be visible too.) White people = lazy (heard iterations of this growing up. They just know their rights & actually use their benefits.) Assimilation will make you successful. If you are unsuccessful while job hunting, it's your fault. If your kids turn out wrong, its ALWAYS their fault (oh no, your kids struggle to balance cultures & tell…
Paper train! I love GO merchendise, even if its for kids!

Going "Louis Theroux mode" : Louis' awkwardness, curiosity, and dry wit is his superpower, especially during his early days. I have this particular strain of awkward - except I talk more instead of less. To prevent myself from rambling and…
Ever since I was a kid, I would always eat the crust of the pizza first so I could have the yummy part after. This is how I know I'm #disciplined💪🏾
I don't mind charging for Bluetooth on my headphones because they have a headphone jack. That's part of my personal problem with Bluetooth the device is useless without it's charger. That's exactly what happened when I lost the case for my Soundcore p20i's. I was going to buy a new pair, but I learned that Bluetooth earbuds/headphones stop holding charge after a couple years, and the batteries are…
I'm at the point where Graeber is outlining a history of work - specifically it's Puritanical influences and draconic, medieval structure: "The poor were seen as frustrated adolescents. Work — and specifically, paid labor under the eye of a master — had traditionally been the means by which such adolescents learned how to be proper, disciplined, self-contained adults." "What this meant in human…
