Bookshelf Situation: I now have to search my order history e-mails before buying a book to make sure it's not buried in my 2-ply deep shelves that form my intractable reading list.

There’s an Urdu name for a “Jack of all trades” that translates to “every talent Lord.” A Korean version is “eight direction beauty.” But my favourite name for someone who tries their hand at lots of different things is the Lithuanian Barbė devyndarbė. It means “Barbie nine jobs”

Something I’ve had to embrace in cooking is that the only real failure you have is if food goes rotten and you just have to throw it away. Go ahead and fuck up cooking that weird thing, you’ll learn something, no shame in it. Everything should be organized around using your shit up.

My first medium format shot was a double exposure. Is it intentional art? Is it screwing up and forgetting that there's no double exposure protection on 73 year old cameras? Who can tell!

MY LITTLE GOLDEN BOOK ABOUT PRIDE comes out today and I'm feeling extremely Ralph Wiggum "I'm in danger" about it. It's beautiful though and I love it no matter what they say

There’s a real level of genius the greatest filmmakers have where people can write essays and produce documentaries about the symbolism in The Shining and then you see a clip of Stanley Kubrick talking about it and he’s like “yeah I thought it’d look creepy idk”

Well that's the US involvement in any peace negotiations dead. That's the one positive to come out of this, the mask has slipped and they never had any intention of fighting for a fair deal for Ukraine. Let Europe take the lead.

Cool cool Evri, very cool. Now we play the game of "Are your systems broken and not synced up, or is that parcel actually arriving after all?". My bet is on: later today I'll get an e-mail telling me that they tried to deliver it (when they didn't) and that they're returning it to the sender.

NEW: Apple said it "can no longer" offer iCloud end-to-end encryption in the UK, and turned off the option to enable it for new users in the country. The unprecedented move comes after the British government demanded a backdoor into Apple's cloud service. techcrunch.com/2025/02/21/a...
