dec 29 2018 - puppies and lists
[omg today's the 29th, not tmw lol]
dearest dear,
idk if i have many interesting thoughts lately — the tldr; includes tryna (unsuccessfully) to be productive (on my own projects and for work), weird family dynamics, weird NYE hype, and puppy vids and end-of-year best of lists.
the last two have probably been my favorite procrastination tools. i knew i was in deep-rut when I followed all the twitter puppy accounts. I won’t enable you but I will include the sloppiest *2018 Year End Best Of The Things* there ever was below ;)
oh, and i guess an astro thought is that the moon is currently in libra and will enter scorpio on NYE so you’ll know i’ll be having a good introvert time with my books and wine and tarot in a couple days dreamin up the best ;)
[The intro to Alice Sparkly Kat’s Disappointing Horoscopes was about all I need tho lol]
process
ppl ask me a lot why i do so much (aka too many) things and honestly, i’m just tryna be instagram famous anyway i can (hahhh) but actually tbh (super earnestness ahead): i do feel pretty fuckin blessed to learn so many things from (in no particular order) dancing and performing and writing and admin-ing and, most recently this curating thing. yes about myself, but almost always also about power, and economies, and shared dialogue and those things are everywhere ;)
