The witchy vibes I bring to the function is blasting Abba while saging my apartment to rid negative energy. Disco is very important to this process.

My chinese manufactured order that made it to America on Monday morning really feels like it got the last helicopter out of Saigon. Looks like it’s just stickers, prints, and tote bags for the foreseeable future folks.

I love being a human artist and creating something never before seen, out of my mind’s eye. I love making every decision with care. I love trying and failing. I love noticing mistakes and fixing them. I love it all.

I went to see Princess Mononoke in theaters last night. The theater was absolutely packed on a random Sunday night. The entire crowd applauded at the start and end of the movie of a movie that came out in 1997. Ai may steal Miyazaki style but it will never be a Miyazaki film. Ai art isn’t real art.

Nothings more anxiety inducing for me than placing a product production order. Lots of money, getting go of control, waiting for months? Oh yeah big anxiety feels.

Having a boba place perfectly placed on the way back from PT is a dangerous thing because I will feel entitled to a little treat after every session.

The whiplash of being a small business in 2025 is wild. I love scrambling to pivot my manufacturing plans because of shipping bans only for them to be rescinded in under 24 hrs. 🫠

Getting a Regal unlimited plan at the start of the year was hands down the best decision I could’ve made for my mental wellbeing. Like yes pls make me unplug from the world for a few hours every week.
