Still confused as to why the windows on the plane did this but I’m glad they did
"This gorgeous green, / this searing lilac, / this heart that is nothing but mystery.”
— Alejandra Pizarnik, “Poem 9″, Diana’s Tree (trans. Yvette Siegert).
Ever since I moved here 3 years ago, i've had a fear of walking barefoot outside due to the ridiculous amounts of broken glass, nails, and old screws that were strewn about all over the place due to my granddads "aw, who cares" approach to things.
Turns out, I do. And did. And have been.
I've probably magnet'd up twenty pounds of scrap metal shards, and found another 1/4 pound of nails in various tires over the years.
I gotta do this more often.
been posting comm wips on bsky just to say yes boss i'm working away on them thank you for your patience 🙇
I’m putting in my too weak notice.
she say "I can't stand up on my hind legs anymore but I can still hop on the bed to snooze in the right spot"
Trying not to be overly emotional this morning.
Star woke up early and climbed onto the bed with me until it was time to wake up proper.
We moved around, ate, went for walks, then came back to the room to have a bit of snuggling before the day began.
She took a step up to move next to me but then slid back down with a confused expression but tried again and everything was fine.
But for a moment her face said "Whoops! I can't do that anymore."
And the realization is not treating me well.
"Stop saying 15 year olds with weird interests are cringe, they're 15" this is true however you should also stop saying adults with weird interests are cringe because who gives a shit
To wit:
I want to share some wisdom from my high school art teacher.
In my AP Art class, there was a girl who was just starting to experiment with mixed media. At this point she was still playing around, trying to decide what direction she wanted to go with her portfolio. So one critique day, she brought in an abstract canvas with some rhinestone highlights and painted and real peacock feathers. She loved sparkles and peacock feathers so she thought she’d try introducing them a *little*. And after everyone had given some input, the teacher gave her his advice, VERY roughly paraphrased here:
“So here’s the thing… I do not like this style. These are just elements that do not speak to me personally, but I see that you like them, and you’re doing interesting things with them.
“My biggest critique is, I only merely *dislike* this piece. I want you to make me HATE it. Go crazy with the things that you like. Don’t hold back trying to make it palatable to people like me. Because I am NEVER going to like it. And if the audience does not like it, it should drive them crazy seeing how much YOU love it.”
Her portfolio was chock full of neon colors and glitter and rhinestones and splashes of peacock feathers and it was a delight. Our teacher despised every piece lol, but she got great marks and I think even won some awards. And more importantly, she was happy and proud of the results. Because she didn’t limit herself by trying to appeal to people who were never going to enjoy what she enjoyed.
Takeaway here: be as cringe as you want. Don’t limit yourself based on other ppl’s tastes. They’re not you, and you are incredible 💕
This is the most inspirational thing I've read all week. Possibly all year
