the drape of this! the colors!

no info on the designer, i screenshotted it months ago from stella bugbee, and meant to gush on it, but forgot and so here we are with zero information except that it’s a vibe. also somehow i heard about these spotify playlists by teatime and they’re pretty good but i think they’re made by dakota johnson?!??! not that that matters…but? i guess actors are people too!

an oldie but a goodie

bless this artist

a lot going on here — is it trying to scare us into not sleeping on our sides or is it saying we’re actually all already dead or is it seeing our true dead-eyed souls or is it just click bait style terror-fest????

i just work here

my mom sent me this article, “do you care too much about the job?” by rachel feintzeig, and the final part really made me laugh:

For Nate Holdren, a professor in Des Moines, Iowa, the challenges of pandemic work—trying to discern his students’ reactions during remote teaching, helping them navigate Covid-19 crises—left him questioning his own self-worth.

“It’s like, not only did that session not go well, but maybe I’m not good at this,” he says. “It’s really easy to keep going over and over and over it again.”

Recently, he bought a T-shirt and notepad to try to shift his outlook. In capital letters, both declare: “I just work here.”

I JUST WORK HERE

ooyyyyyyy

uh oh, heard “run around” the other day and seriously wondered if it’s a perfect song. now i’m desperately avoiding my homework and lectures and instead cleaning out my phone and earlier i baked boxed cupcakes, which turned out v. meh and might go straight into the trash. did i ever post this poem by Bertolt Brecht? would you have ever thought.

ps dialectics!

me

the ultimate yes man

today

okay, here’s what i’m up to today, on my last day of school freedom:

• just finished station eleven, it was sooooo good, favorite read in a long team, i mean time, it gave me bad dreams, but stlll straight up loved it, it kind of reminded me of jennifer egan’s a visit from the goon squad, as far as structure and also — a little bit mood? can i get some feedback on that
• started watching the series station eleven, not 100% sold yet but it’s definitely melancholy in a good way and mackenzie davis is v. v. good
• making ribollita VERY SLOWLY
• doing laundry
• watching two basketball games at 1:30pm on TNT, my fave way to watch (charles, shaq, kenny = dream team)
• until game time, watching avengers movie in the background (only really for spiderman) (also enh avengers movies are HECTIC, like 20% good and then 80% fighting)
• drinking chocolate milk
• definitely deciding that cate blanchett is overrated
• wearing my cool game of thrones/renaissance fur robe
• turning up the heat
