A sarong in 1998 could be: a tapestry, a skirt, a way to cover that nasty stain on your dropped ceiling, a table cloth, a dress, a couch cover, or a towel and it was ALL very chic.

I say this with love: I hope Cardi B never stops having beefs, because her rage has creatively blessed us more than anything in the pop culture realm has for years.

It's time we romanticized being generic. Adhering to genre is to follow in the hallowed footsteps of our venerable foreparents, leaving our scrawl on the palimpsest of humanity. Let yourself run joyfully through the meadows of tropes and archetypes, taking what it is you need.

Life certainly has seasons; let me tell you about the one I'm stepping into these days.

Sometimes I think I'm doing ok mentally and then I imagine Noah Kahan putting out a new song, and play it, and it's so good, and tears are streaming down my face listening to this song for the first time

Prefigurative is when your bestie gets your dog through Customs by saying you are a household and then the next day someone gives you a car to share and you get on a waitlist for a puppy so now we really are a household

I cannot function without a minimum of one (1) small, semi feral, non-human animal living in my home with me.

In the summer of 2020 I was chronically on Twitter and a local librarian posted looking for reqs for a visit to my hometown. That connection eventually became a very close friendship-They are a brother to me. This week, he paid his own way to Mexico to help me get my beloved dog home to Canada.
