Hey kid, look at me.

I want you to T-pose. Turn your right thumb up and your left thumb doen and look at your right thumb. Move your arms up and down a bit until you feel a nerve running from your armpit to your palm. Now turn your right thumb down and your left thumb up, and look at your left thumb. Keep your chest facing forward and your shoulders back. Move your arms again until you feel that nerve again. Keep alternating between these two for a minute, or look at each thumb thirty times each.

Now sit down. Put your left hand firmly under your left buttock, palm down. Keep your shoulders back and put your right hand over the crown of your head, very gently pulling it to the right. Do this for thirty seconds, then do it again but with your right hand under your right buttock.

These are stretches for the nerves in your arms, and are very good for people who sit behind a computer a lot, or fibre artists, or you name it. Do them daily. They will hurt in the beginning, but keep doing them, even after the pain has gone, or it will return and you'll have to start all over.

“Tulip Road” — Acrylic on canvas, 50×60 cm (2025)

Sometimes the path appears only when you start walking —

a soft curve of light, a little fog, a breath of colour guiding you forward.

I painted this piece with heavy impasto and very fine graphic lines, letting the tulips glow as if the morning dew is still holding onto them.

A quiet road of spring, where everything is waking up at once.

Thank you for wandering here with me. 💗🌸

Okay, I gotta say this nuance aloud, though maybe everyone already understood it.

When people discuss the importance of using things, such as special plates, candles, special clothes- they will say that it's best to use them all the time, and that this makes each day special or something like that.

Which is only part of the picture if you ask me.

It's good not to hoard things forever, but if you use everything all the time, it also leaves certain special times as kind of indistinct from anything else. Like having a Christmas tree up all year kind of takes something away from it.

So here's my rephrasing: special things should have a concrete time of use, not an abstract one.

If you have an outfit you love but have it dedicated to only wear once a year on a specific day? Totally fine! You are using it, and it is contributing something to your life.

If you have plates that you'll only use 'for a special occasion' but haven't touched them in years? Evidently you don't know how to recognize a special occasion and should try and think of more specific qualifiers.

Some nice things make every day special, and others make certain times unique. It doesn't have to be one or the other, there's also joy in restraint. You just have to make sure perfectionism isn't slipping into how you use the ones that are only for some of the time.

coming out & saying that vecna ruined stranger things. at least how it was executed. he was formally introduced in s4, but the lead up to his introduction was terrible. there is little to no foreshadowing that you can point to & say “that directly references henry & nothing else.”

the difference between s4 & s5 was that s4 was able to find its footing. vecna may have felt (not saying that he was) retcon’d, but the story was compelling. storylines like california may have been underwhelming, but with the promise of further exploration once the whole cast reunites, people can push past it.

but s5 does NOT find its footing at all. the entire plot revolves around story elements only added in s4. if you traveled back to 2019 & told me, “actually, stranger things is about this vecna guy who looks like evil adult groot voldemort trying to combine the real world with this dimension x you’ve never heard of” i’d probably ask you why they decided to go in that direction. or what the fuck you were talking about.

s5 suffers from terrible favoritism as well. it’s like they took what worked in s4 (max’s plot line really) & discarded everything else they had been working to build.
