He loves the Beatles so much he “saves” albums for when he’s older, as a treat for his future self. Practices an auditory abstinence… by which I could never abide. I must devour what I love while it’s still ripe with bliss, while it still tastes of summer cherries and caramel.

A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment.

Bittersweetly, I’ve finished my summer reading. I could not have chose 3 books more different from each other. I’ve been teleporting from the hardships of Russia in the early 1900’s, to the glamorous chaos of LA in the 60’s, to the haunting magic of a seaside town in 1940’s Cornwell.

Sit with me and watch the sea?
Been quiet about the fact I’m a #photographer too. I believe photography is in itself a poetic practice.

Found myself writing a poem while attempting to write a bio:
To paths discovered,
to bridges burned.
I introduce a fleeting muse,
of moonlit haze.
My magic strays,
in everything I do not say.

The idea that a president can issue an executive order that overrides Congress, while it may be appealing to everyone who wants TikTok back and agrees that the TikTok ban is a first amendment violation, is actually illegal dictator shit

to keep by my bedside
so I can drink it cold as
soon as my eyes peel
to the dusty blue dawn
this is the Only way
I can wake up before 9.
