Oh, good to know! I have been leaning in this direction ngl

TELESCOPE There is a moment after you move your eye away when you forget where you are because you've been living, it seems, somewhere else, in the silence of the night sky. You've stopped being here in the world. You're in a different place, a place where human life has no meaning. You're not a creature in a body. You exist as the stars exist, participating in their stillness, their immensity. Then you're in the world again. At night, on a cold hill, taking the telescope apart. You realize afterward not that the image is false but the relation is false. You see again how far away each thing is from every other thing.

The best surf writer you’ve never read — and definitely should Eve Babitz knew all about us.

"But somehow, it’s surprisingly difficult to describe with any degree of style and accuracy what it feels like to ride a wave — the mechanics of standing on a board, the way the water shifts underfoot, where the arms go and when, the whole ephemeral magic of it all." New story, please enjoy!

Ha ha ha, hi, it me. I think it's just so frickin' hard especially right now to get the stuff we write seen by people? So, I guess I feel like I just have to keep doin' it. But, I also like chatting with people on the internet, which I'm not sure is a good thing, but it's a thing.
