i think half of "talent" is just a person happening to have fun doing whatever it is they're supposedly talented at, and not hating it. i was "talented" at art at age 3 but if i'd stopped drawing at age 3 because i found it tedious or unrewarding, i'd probably pretty much draw like a 3-year-old now

Street full of parked cars in Bordeaux France, Google photo from 2008.
Same location in Bordeaux photo taken by me in 2023.
Before & After: I donโt think people realize the extent to which parked cars degrade public space.
Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona
Same but Iโm trying to get myself to watch more uplifting movies cuz I feel like the horror is starting to get to my psyche
Okay but hear me out:
A nighttime bookstore in which the only lighting comes from lanterns, tea is served to all who enter, there is an emotional support owl in each section, and a buy one / get one free sale occurs during every full moon.
Dreams can tell the future sometimes
Instant mashed potatoes kinda freak me out ๐ญ

Put away my laundry right after I take it out of the dryer

Love ya
I shouldnโt be living that life but I am and thereโs truly nothing better
Whattttt I didnโt know the lineup was out !!!
Once thereโs too much money in a social app it sucks away the organicness of human connection
People love a rise and fall, but I feel like the turnaround is getting so much quicker !
Never forget this: The GOPโs nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.
I knew it was you ๐โโ๏ธ
I just learned that Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. An alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform (and yes it's really easy to transfer your lists from Goodreads to StoryGraph). You know, while we're moving things.
A picture of a sunset
Not quite a blue sky, but very pretty
Big fan of mist.
Iโve been getting a little bored of fashion lately, so Iโve been finding runway looks to recreate with affordable more every day items!
In a world of micro trends it can be hard sometimes to find and focus on personal style, so this has been really fun :) (and I still love the trendy stuff ofc) ๐น
Please, if you are able, support Independent bookshops.
They are the literary & social hubs of our high streets and communities.
Without their continued support, we simply wouldn't be around to publish .
Thank you.
Things I miss from Gaming when I was a kid
๐ฎ Reading the game manual on the way home over and over
๐ฎ Playing the most random obscure game cos it was all you could get
๐ฎ the smell of a new game when you opened the case
๐ฎ 4 Player Splitscreen at a friend's house
Good Times ๐ฉ
