genuinely i think it's important for adults, especially in the plague times, to play pretend in our day-to-day lives. when i rub my back down with tiger balm so i can sleep without pain, i imagine i am a valiant knight tending to an old injury i received from a dragon. when i go to the store to pick up eggs and milk, i am a lone cowboy riding into town on a mission. when i turn my collar up against the wind i am a femme fatale who's killed 4 husbands and is scoping out a 5th. when i stomp around in the snow i am a doomed polar explorer. if being a little bit silly about my walk to the pharmacy helps me remember that life can be full of joy and whimsy, then so be it.

I think people get mixed up a lot about what is fun and what is rewarding. These are two very different kinds of pleasure. You need to be able to tell them apart because if you don't have a balanced diet of both then it will fuck you up, and I mean that in a "known cause of persistent clinical depression" kind of way.

I’m seeing this again casually in posts from some folks and just a reminder that it’s actually really useless to go through museums and galleries asking yourself if what you’re seeing is actually art. This is the wrong question to be asking of the museum or gallery, of what is on display, and of yourself as an intellectual and emotion living person.

Oh boy I sure hope my good friend Jonathan Harker has a much better time on his business trip this year than he did last year.

I know I could get caught stealing baking supplies, but that’s a whisk I’m willing to take.

Worst and most surreal time of the week is Sunday afternoons when you’re like hyper aware of your insignificance and nothingness there has to be a name for this phenomenon
