i like how most of them are just photos of nature but our-kansas is just like “bees”, maryland is “boat”, and north carolina is “climb rock”.

That’s a sand dune. They could have done chimney Rock or the blue ridge.

But dune.

If I had my life to live over again

If I had my life to live over again, I’d dare to make more mistakes next time. I’d relax. I’d limber up. I’d be sillier than I’ve been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances, I would eat more ice cream and less beans.

I would, perhaps, have more actual troubles but fewer imaginary ones. you see, I’m one of those people who was sensible and sane, hour after hour, day after day.

Oh, I’ve had my moments. If I had to do it over again, I’d have more of them. In fact, I’d try to have nothing else- just moments, one after another, instead of living so many years ahead of each day.

I’ve been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot-water bottle, a raincoat, and a parachute. If I could do it again, I would travel lighter than I have.

If I had to live my life over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances, I would ride more merry-go-rounds, I would pick more daisies.

Absolutely pure.  What a trick, what a reaction!

“Why can you do it now and not earlier? Why can you draw all day but not even eat?” This happened the other day, so I had to try and draw down my attempt at explaining Executive Dysfunction and why it sometimes just suddenly…  disappears..

Li Ziqi is a legend. She lives in countryside of Mianyang 绵阳, Sichuan Province.

[indigenousandangry]

it is an absolute privilege to watch these.

I’VE BEEN OBSESSED WITH 李子柒 FOR THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS EVER SINCE MY FRIEND SHOWED ME HER VIDEOS AND I ADMIRE HER SO FUCKING MUCH

SHE’S SO INDEPENDENT AND STRONG AND HANDY AND BEAUTIFUL AND INTELLIGENT AND I FUCKING LOVE HER

But her backstory makes me love her EVEN more

李子柒 (Li Ziqi) was born in Sichuan in the countryside to a poor family. Her mom left the family when she was very young, and she was abused by her stepmom when her dad wasn’t around. After her father passed away, she ended up orphaned and living with her grandparents

She dropped out of middle school and moved to the city to look for work because her family was in such poverty. There, she worked as a waitress and a DJ for 8yr, making barely enough to get by — at one point, before she had found steady work, she was homeless and was forced to seek shelter under a bridge

Her grandfather was a professional chef, and after he passed away, she decided to try her hand at the culinary arts and to share her cooking skills on social media — she started making YouTube videos (entirely independently!!)

She initially received an incredible amount of backlash… people left hurtful comments and really just shat on her for no good reason

But she persevered and continued making videos, and now, she has 3.8 million followers (as of May 4th, 2019) and gets the bulk of her income from her YouTube channel

She isn’t completely alone in making her videos anymore (she has a cameraman and an assistant), but she still does the majority of the work — the actual cooking/farming/handiwork being filmed, arranging the scenes, and video editing

She is an absolute BADASS and carries on so many Chinese traditions that are being forgotten

Most of her videos are of her cooking, but she shows you more than just the cooking process — you see her pulling vegetables and herbs and mushrooms out of the fucking ground and slicing fruits and flowers and shit off of trees with a machete in the beginning of the video, and by the end, it’s a finished, beautiful, mouth-watering dish

She also does way more than work with food — there’s a video of her building her clay oven (which you see her cooking with in a lot of videos) from SCRATCH just with some bricks and a mud mixture she made herself

There’s also a video of her making paper from scratch and then using it for calligraphy, and LET ME TELL YOU, LI ZIQI IS AS ARTISTICALLY GIFTED AS SHE IS CULINARILY

Li Ziqi is a fucking boss and I love her and please watch her videos
