Miena: Gentle, breezy, beautiful moving environments
Miena creates evocative and moody landscapes similar to that of Yutuu Toyoi (of 1040uu fame). She delicately balances the drawing and the motion together in exactly the right proportion so that you feel that you are in that particular place; reading a book, having some tea, and feeling the gentle breeze in your hair.

Shut your laptop, look up at the sky or ceiling, and say Christ is risen. The most momentous thing that will ever happen to you and everyone you love has already happened and it is happening every day on altars around the world. Term papers are nothing. Alleluia.

saw the counsellour from the uni counselling service today for the first time since last Nov. And I’m so glad I did, talking with her made me realise how much progress I made this year - I hadn’t noticed how much “lighter” I truly feel. And the supo on Wilde’s Salomé afterwards went excellently too. A good day. She did voice her fear that next year back home might retraumatise me but I just feel so confident in the experiences I’ve accumulated here to give me the confidence to carry me though that. Happy things went so well this year.
The Pacific Northwest is fucking Perfect
To a minor poet of the Greek Anthology, Jorge Luis Borges.
translation W.S. Merwin, in Selected Poems 1923-1976.
to anyone with a history of alcholism in their family and is yet to be 21: be careful. its hereditary. its learned as a coping mechanism. sometimes it just happens.
when you turn 21, go ahead and enjoy a couple drinks! (if you feel comfortable with that.) and then chill out. if you find yourself drinking more than 4 times a week, seek help. try to stop. at least be on the lookout for triggers that lead to you drinking.
you can be an alcoholic at 21, you can be an alcoholic at 16. dependence on alcohol doesn’t care about age or background.
you can be sober. you can live life without alcohol. you don’t have to be like your parents.
it’s worth considering that, since many people have what I call a “submerged” history of alcoholism in their families (whether it’s a “long line of great drinkers”, an “uncle that had a hard life”, or “that’s just what we *insert ethnic group here* do!” or even, sometimes, nothing at all—no mention, nothing said), it’s worth paying close attention to how you take to drink early on.
when you’re young and first drinking, it’s important that you reflect on your relationship to alcohol *in between drinks*. have fun, but take it seriously! it can save you so much later.
And just never touch nicotine. I knew someone once who quit decades before I met her and is still haunted by cravings.
If you’ve already started: the sooner you quit, the easier it will be.
oh my god I regret starting smoking cigarettes so much every day of my life
okay but just to say ??? sometimes abstaining due to family history isn’t the healthier choice. sometimes the healthier choice is developing your own relationship to alcohol, one that is healthy and reflective, and not defined by others’ mistakes or flaws or your trauma.
actually abstaining will theoretically always be the healthier choice since alcohol (like cigarettes) in a n y quantity is a toxin?
can’t f*ckin believe how much f*ckin money I just had to pay for a bloody return ticket to York fro tomorrow. For f*uck’s sake! Really?
this is a sparkling water hate blog!
By copyrighting his property as an artwork, he has prevented oil companies from drilling on it.
Peter Von Tiesenhausen has developed artworks all over his property in northern Alberta. There’s a boat woven from sticks that is gradually being reclaimed by the land; there is a fence that he adds to each year of his life, and there are many “watching” trees, with eyes scored into their bark.
Oil interests pester him continually about drilling on his land. His repeated rebuffing of their advances lead them to move toward arbitration. They made it very clear that he only owned the top 6 inches of soil, and they had rights to anything underneath. He then, off the top of his head, threatened them that he would sue damages if they disturbed his 6 inches, for the entire property is an artwork. Any disturbance would compromise the work, and he would sue.
Immediately after that meeting, he called a lawyer (who is also an art collector) and asked if his intuitive threat would actually hold legally. The lawyer visited, saw the scope of the work on the property, and wrote a document protecting the artwork.
The oil companies have kept their distance ever since.
This is but one example of Peter’s ability to negotiate quickly on his feet, and to find solutions that defy expectations.
I feel like this is really important.
