"this is unbecoming of me" is genuinely a useful thing to have in your mental toolbox

also there’s this common misconception that reading is primarily about the book or the subject: this is incorrect. ‘Reading’ is an activity wherein you constantly evaluate your own self worth in increasingly cruel ways against some culturally sanctioned object that is better than you

i love sibling estrangement as horror. Only one person in the entire world has been through what youve been through and they deny it . Awesome

I'm not downplaying the historical and philosophical value in Marcus Aurelius' writings but I do think it's funny how many people hold up his Meditations as an earth-shattering paradigm-shifting breakthrough in human thought when it was very, very clearly an extremely stressed out and depressed man desperately trying to teach himself any form of coping mechanism he could to put up with more or less being forced to continue to reign as emperor against his will

[pillow-princeps]

Meditations reads less like a philosophical text or compilation of thought and more like a series of post it notes Marcus had tacked to his bathroom mirror that said stuff like "hang in there kitten!" and "don't kill yourself today!"

“Everything is thrifted: Kapital denim overall that's too big for me to wear as overalls, but work really well as denim chaps when cinched at the waist with my belt. The belt is made by myself. My jeans I found in a thrift shop with no name or tag attached – but clearly made with a lot of love. The top is a Kapital indigo dyed kimono jacket. The shoes are Onitsuka Tiger. I've been a preschool teacher for the last 5 years, and I take a lot of inspiration from the kids themselves and a little bit of Magic School Bus. I try to combine making fuctional wearable art with things that make the kids in my school smile and feel inspired to be a little weird and out there. I used to show up in suits and ties – and then one day one of my students showed up in a full Clifford outfit and it shook my core. What was I even doing, haha? So now I try to stretch imaginations with a lot of thrifted pieces or handmade things by my wife and I.”

one of the funniest conversations I ever had with my ex was when they were still getting used to Celsius and asked me "what's 20 degrees?" and instead of converting it, I said "it's the highest your dad will ever let you set the thermostat and when you say you're cold he tells you to put on another sweater, we're not made of money" and they went "oh, 68"

the fact that this reference was that fucking precise was something they went on to tell people about for years.
