please refer to mitski.bandcamp.com for songs where i am projecting more
im in love
oh! my face showed up on my dash
please read this story of a man accidentally discovering his wife is the world's best Tetris player
[image description: an excerpt of text that says:
“It’s funny,” I told Flewin. “We have an old Nintendo Game Boy floating around the house, and Tetris is the only game we own. My wife will sometimes dig it out to play on airplanes and long car rides. She’s weirdly good at it. She can get 500 or 600 lines, no problem.”
What Flewin said next I will never forget.
“Oh, my!”
/end id]
TL;DR on the article
The husband was writing an article on classic video game records, was surprised to find out that holding the Tetris record is a bit of a big deal, and mentions how good his wife is at it.
The guy he’s talking to mentions that the record is 327, way lower than his wifes usual scores of 500-600.
They travel to a tournament, and she goes to do her attempt. Just after she beats 327, and is climbing higher, a judge brings up to the husband that the specific version she’s playing actually has a different record of 545.
She overhears that she needs to beat 500-something, and keeps going, setting the record at 841.
my sense of humor: getting birthday cards with the wildly incorrect age on it for people
I see this and raise you: getting cards for a wildly different occasion and customizing them to fit the holiday you need
throwback to the time my partner put in his 2 week notice with a birthday card for a 2 year old
Once I got a card that said “BEST GREAT GRANPA EVER!!”
I’m a teenager
Everybody’s pissing me off
hm I like seeing this pair but I’m no good at drawing it in the way others do
what you allow continues. -> what you tolerate continues. -> what you show interest in is what brings more of that interest into your life. -> to often express an emotion like anger or joy will make people test it, tread its waters, treat you with that emotion in mind, thus making you choose between rejecting or accepting their understanding of you, instead of being neutral on it. -> if you get involved in fights and debate, more fights come to your doorstep. to think solemnly about your existence is to see answers and questions in everything. to participate in anything is to be enmeshed in it, touched back by it. -> to be bothered deeply by something personally repulsive is to touch it back when it tries to hold you, instead of washing your hands. -> you can work against something without allowing it to touch you inside. -> what you allow inside you continues.
when hayao miyazaki said that true love was two people inspiring each other to live…recognizing just how hard living is, putting one foot in front of the other every day, how easy it is to lose our passion for it…… that’s the real shit
compilation of texts my mom has sent me when my cat is wailing outside my room and i haven’t opened the door for her yet
When God closes a door I reach my little paws under it and meow until He opens it again.
“To children who are unable to start living: When I was a young child, I thought it might have been a mistake that I was born.
As a child, I nearly died of illness. When my parents would say, “We went though a hard time with you,” I thought, “I’ve caused so much hardship for them,” and felt I couldn’t endure my uneasiness. So I didn’t have a happy childhood that I look back on with nostalgia. I passed as a “good kid,” the one among my siblings who was most obedient and gentle. When, at some point, I realized that I had just been matching myself to my parents’ expectations, I became so distressed that I wanted to scream in humiliation. This is why I do remember seeing for the first time beauty in the simple eyes of the cicada or feeling amazed that the tips of the legs of crayfish were scissors, but I erased from my memory how I related to other people.
I put on a cheerful front when I was among my friends. But inside was a timid self full of anxiety and fear.”
- Hayao Miyazaki, “Recalling the Days of My Youth”, The Akahata Sunday Edition, April 1998.
Artist Celia Pym
Working with garments that belong to individuals as well as items in museum archives, [Pym] has extensive experience with the spectrum and stories of damage, from small moth holes to larger accidents with fire.
Her interests concern the evidence of damage, and how repair draws attention to the places where garments and cloth wear down and grow thin. In clothing, this is often to do with use and how the body moves.
She explores the difficulties of mending other people’s clothes, the materials used for mending, and making damage visible. Pym’s tools are scissors, yarn and a sharp needle.
“Darning is small acts of care and paying attention. The damage, in a way, does the work for me” she explains. “I respond to it. The mending is slow work to hold the damage in place.”
i want a relationship like this
this is just so helpful and freeing to think about
doing the best you can AND trying to do better
taking care of yourself AND needing care from others too
this was such a revelation for me to discover and put into practice and - even beyond just helping myself - allowed me to be kinder and more generous with other people generally
The beginning of the cure for the Problems that Plague us
When I say “Dialectical thinking will save your sanity and your soul,” I am not even a little bit joking.
