tasseletor is such a beautiful word. tass le tour 

keyboard in german 

How gorgeous and vivid is that word, so camp, reeks of extravagance, leaking 

it feels like a shake of a horses tail, or a performative shiver in icy wind shoulders high bob dylan

A collage of recent photos and references that iv been looking at, continuously learning about Germanys past and documenting resistance where I can

words do this thing where they dance on my tongue and jump up and down, tripping over one another, bouncing off the door frame as they tumble their way out. 

They are just so great in a couple of different ways 

Firstly their form, words as a form, they look quite nice, the shapes of different fonts and how each font evokes a different kind of feeling or mood, I like to draw letters as shapes, attempting to look at them as shapes, as compositions first. This started when I accidentally got very high at the studio and couldn't read anymore. I started drawing letters as they came to mind on neon yellow sheets of paper. fuzzing my eyes slightly so they I was completely and utterly loose. I liked how they turned out, but unsure of what they were for, or why they interested me. I didn't even get through the whole alphabet 

Secondly words are just great because each word associates to a selection of ideas, and other words, that then lead to more words and ideas, and when the words are put together they create even more space for meaning, and then you can add the tone of which the words together are spoken, and then that creates another layer of meaning to jolt association!

(maybe this is why I don't like Ai voice, and talking is my favourite thing to do with friends/ my fav way of communicating ideas (i think)) 

The work week on my fingernails from 2020 Im working for the workweek! weekends are lost to laundry and cooking rice

you can wash with words, and they slide over your brain and sometimes don't make a way in, but no matter. and then things can get lost in words, misunderstanding and translation issues mean so many more realities open up in front of you, and when you add a connection to words, oh then things get even more interesting 

I don’t want to wear USA merch anymore, even out of irony the stakes are too high, and its empirical rule is too real and dangerous.

I can never understand why anyone would want a good conversation to end. I just want it to go on forever, to talk until you reach into delirium. 

my heart breaks slightly when I find out its spelt tastatur :/

somehow that changes everything
