If you're trying to figure out what to do right now, my advice is to just pick a thing that you think might be useful in some way, however small, and do it. Doing a thing leads you to doing another, bigger thing, and prepares you for that next thing.

The way I judge any media is this: Would Parker Posey's character in Party Girl like it? It's good. Would Parker Posey's character in Josie and the Pussy Cats like it? It's bad.

Thank you, I’ll have plenty! I used to crochet a long time ago and just started knitting a few weeks ago. It’s been a great way to stop doomscrolling and reflect 😌 I’ve finished a Sophie scarf and have started a sweater. (I’m waiting for more purple yarn & am casting on a new cardigan as I wait 🫣)

I'm the older person

I wanna post pics of my arm; I took pics every time I changed dressing. It's an incredible testament to the body's ability to heal, but it's so gross lol

I'm throwing up a lot today

It's funny, even though this surgery has been akm disaster - postponed, turned inpatient, so painful - for the first time in a long time, it's made me optimistic. Strange.

The Jackson 5 wanna wish everybody a very Merry Christmas and a ✨groovy✨ New Year

Muppets remake of Saving Private Ryan and whenever there's gore it's just ribbons and yarn spilling out with an occasional human hand glimpsed underneath

All these goobers posting airplanes and stars thinking they’re drones made me realize that if there was social media 500 years ago, a bunch of people would have been sharing pictures labeled “omg a mermaid” with community notes like “that’s a rock” and “manatee.”

If a job hires you fast just know it’s about to be some bs 🥴

Googling 'why are parts of my Christmas tree dying' like it wasn't chopped down and shipped across an ocean. It's 85% fine but it's also December 1st. Maybe bought it too early.

it’s always “can’t wait to put this awful year behind us” but guys the years keep getting worse

Almost theeeere, details and people coming up.

Full. 🥰

I did it on the beach on a summer evening. The clouds and the ocean looked like a painting, they swirled and twinkled. When the sun set it was dazzling. The stars seemed to multiply and move. 10/10, worst part was initial nausea but it was an overall euphoric and enjoyable vibe.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Been in a cooking show kinda vibe all day. Food Network got me.

The new Netflix Christmas movies are so horny this year. #HotFrosty

I want to make more emotionally resonant personal pieces, but living in a small community makes me hesitant. I like my privacy (offline).

In these divisive times, it’s heartwarming to see everyone uniting to clown on Drake.
