Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

A "volnado" is a dust devil that forms from the combination of intense heat and unstable atmospheric conditions.

Back to watching Frankenstein, which is far less terrifying and gross than what’s happening socially and politically.

Intermissions should have a comeback. Ones that are longer than 15 minutes so you don’t have to choose between refreshments and the bathroom.
Weird how a two and a half hour movie feels unbearable to me now.

The people who didn’t get Frankenstein and the people who didn’t get Wuthering Heights are the exact same people.
I'm losing my mind over how many reviewers are like "GDT's Frankenstein makes you wonder who the real monster is." THAT'S THE STORY! That's the story Shelley wrote!

First time I’ve been alone since Oct 1st. Mornings and evenings are very quiet and peaceful here.

It cannot get lost in the shuffle, even with so much else going on, that the world's most wealthy people have had their minds absolutely rotted out, just saturated to the dripping point with black mold down to the studs and frame, by the all encompassing unhumanity of their wealth.

Update: I guess I meant touch water because I went to Iao Valley Stream #maui

I need to stop constantly watching this train wreck. It has a weird hold over me.

I promise I will touch grass or sand today.

Holy Kula, the jacarandas are still kind of blooming?? Bro. 😍 I need to get up that way more.

There comes a moment every single day during September/October in Hawaii where you release your objections to the heat and humidity and let the experience fully consume you

Two years ago today: atmospheric perfection over rural Oklahoma. I'd have believed in gods too if I saw this before knowing what it was. #photography

I love it here so much. I *love* the humidity. I love the stillness and the heat. I love constantly saying “ugh I shouldn’t have worn denim today” 🥲

Aw yeaahhh. First whale of the season! (It’s early) #humpbackwhales

It rained briefly (!) and even though it’s almost sunset, the birds are singing and clearly *so happy* 🥰

Well that was a weird place to end Chief of War on. I assume he knows he’s getting another season.
