Some items of interest from recent wanderings around the net. Absolutely continually devastated by this world, but also feeling (occasionally) something (mildly) akin to hope? Like utterly unendingly disappointed in humanity while simultaneously buttressed by the power of humanity's love and community? And how do i transfer this feeling into myself at a cellular level so I never forget that we all contain universes within our beings? I am stardust and meat. Also, I am watching the mummy returns rn and wow. Brendan Fraiser literally just said the line, "Oh, I Hate Mummies." We live in a very complex timeline, y'all.
A relic/treasure from 2015. It has offered endless inspiration from my studio wall all these years and I want to get back in touch with the me who decided to make this just to practice. Just to try and repeat and see what happens. And then also some other stuff because I'm being bad and hanging out on Instagram too much this week 🙃😵😵💫🤓 swipe for me with the tiniest cortado in the world 🐸
Dear (algorithmically-determined public-facing) diary,
Not to be dramatic but...radical optimism is not the same as positive vibes or a good attitude. Capitalism wants to rob us of pretty much everything, including, seemingly, a future. Hope is still a moral imperative even as it waxes & wanes with the seasons and the news and the red carpets. Pay attention to what you're seeing, then ground it in reality and the unwavering desire for collective liberation. Spring is a beautiful reminder of all this and that's all for now.
xo, ya girl

3, 8, & 14 ○ wisdom from @eroticsofliberation

An old #WIP I came across today and a mood board, both titled "we all deserve so much better" ❤️🩹
And it's more than I have the brain cells to unpack, but coming across this VERY LONG interview in a random vintage playboy is still imploding my brain. All to say, take care of each other, don't trust this corrupt billionaire class bullshit, so much of this history isn't really all that long ago. And I guess just keep getting up and watering the plants and making the coffee and trying 🫂☕️🌿
MOOD BOARD ✨️❤️🩹🐎🌿🐻❄🌌💐🐈⬛️☕️💠🎨 HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR & KEEP FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT IN THIS MESSY EXCEEDINGLY UNHINGED WORLD (& remember, sometimes the good fight is reading a book or letting someone merge in traffic - and maybe avoid rolling your eyes so much 👀)
A few weeks ago we said goodbye to our sweet Poe aka Polar aka PoPo Papaducci aka Poeji 💙🥲 he was a work of art who inspired many other works of art, by us and friends and beyond -- a precious collection we'll cherish forever. He was an icon and an Aquarius; a legend and the moment; he put up with some of our strangest antics and vice versa; and he was simply the best, weirdest, most stubborn, gorgeous, fluffiest, most aloof & surprising pal I've ever had and I don't think I'll ever grasp how very much he taught me about this world 🐻❄❤️🩹 Oops and happy Valentine's Day, sorry if you're crying now 💌🤟 go love on your people and your furry pals right this second!!!

He was a few days shy of turning 11, our old man baby, and after I wrote a little poem inspired by a Big Thief song:
In two days, it's my birthday
And I will turn eleven
But that won't really matter
When I'm prancing round in heaven
But I like a double number
And I like an odd one too
And everything I know now
Of love is cause of you ❤️🩹
