“Some of my best writing comes to me when I’m away from my usual surroundings,” Crystal Hana Kim said. “I live in Brooklyn. I love my home and the busy atmosphere of my neighborhood, but the distractions of daily life can make writing harder. While writing ‘The Stone Home,’ I went to two artist residencies in Wyoming. The isolation helped me untangle questions I had about my characters and the story. I took long walks in the snow and wrote for hours in my cabin. It was a dreamy experience!”
This interview is online already, but it also is in print today in outlets like the Chicago Tribune and Baltimore Sun.

IF I PULL YOU NOW
(Sung to "If You Leave Me Now" by Chicago)
If I pull you now,
You better bring your sorry ass to me.
Ooooh, love, baby please come home.
And if I pull you now,
I pray to gods that I don't pull Qiqi.
Oooh, love, baby please come home.
Ooooh, love, I just want a C6.
A rare like yours
Is a rare that's hard to find.
How could I let you slip away?
I've come too far.
Life is wakaranai.
How could I end it all this way?
When my waifu comes,
I have no regrets.
My wallet died today.
A rare like yours
Is a rare that's hard to find.
How could I let you slip away?
I've come too far.
Life is wakaranai.
How could I end it all this way?
If you don't come home,
I have one regret:
My wallet died today!
If I pull you now,
I hope you bring your 5-star ass to me.
Ooooh, love, baby please come home.
Ooooh, love, I just need to simp you by my side.
Ooooh, love, baby please come home.
Ohhhh my god!
I just got another Qiqi!
Man…
There's actually only one piece of ""Tumblr etiquette"" that people need to know and it's if you see a post that has thousands or tens of thousands of notes you should really check the replies to make sure ten billion other people haven't already told op the thing you're about to tell them so they don't have to spend the rest of their day trying to blow you up with their mind
going through my old journals as part of therapy homework and i'm reading a section written in the emotional wreckage of a full-on breakdown when i get hit with this line:
There is never a satisfying answer to ‘Why didn’t they love me?’
here's something you guys probably forgot about.... the pomni backflip art i promised for 10k notes on the post that now has 16k notes... whoops
i may have let her land the backflip but at the end of the day she is a failgirl :)
Chicago - If You Leave Me Now (Columbia, Compilation, 1982) - Design by Roslav Szaybo, photography by Robin Clifford
Cash-grab alert! Cash-grab alert!
Yeah, just a random compilation of songs from the group's Columbia years. It was released to coincide with the group's return to popularity after the chart-topping single "Hard to Say I'm Sorry". This cover is probably the only appealing part of this album.
In West Germany, this album was known as The Feeling Of Chicago (A Collection Of Their Greatest Hits), the high heel was placed in a different position and the stairs were colored gold. At least they were more honest about the album's intentions than in the rest of the world.
[comments on my art] "i can tell you read homestuck" "did you watch a lot of steven universe" "this reminds me of south park" SHUT UP IDIOTS the only true comparison is The Beast from Maggie and the Ferocious Beast
saw the event announcement and had to immediately drop everything and get back to my favorite pasttime (drawing Lilia). sure don't want me saving up my keys, huh, do you Twst?
You!! Hey you!! Are you looking for a pair of kittens? Do you live In Or Near Oklahoma? Do you wish you could listen to purring all the time? Do you want a cat that looks like an aye-aye?
long story short, we found these two kittens at the bottom of a garbage can!! I don't like to think about how they ended up in there- but we heard them crying while on a walk, and it's very lucky they were so loud!
They were scared at first, but now they NEED to be snuggled at all times. Crazy how adaptable kittens are.
I'd prefer to rehome them as a pair, but I'd consider adopting them out individually if that's my only option!
Please IM me if you're interested in both/either of these babies, or if you have any questions at all!!
