An Exercise in Love

André Gide, what a line

Sharon Olds ~ We have come to the end of questions

just opened the door to two Zohran canvassers and they were both guys i’d matched with on hinge. i was in my pajamas at 3pm

i love synchronicities. they’re like little winks from the universe.

I gotta say, Zohran responding to someone threatening to car bomb him with “bruh I don’t own a car” is such an Urbanist Gigachad move

A major cheat code in life: Being a pleasure to deal with. Kind when others aren’t. Calm when things go sideways. Reliable under pressure. Intelligence alone is overrated. Be someone who lightens the load for folks around them. People value people who make their lives easier.

The beauty of being honest is that you don't have to remember anything, you can just speak, just act, just move through life freely, no tripwires from the past to watch out for

we are willingly hypnotizing ourselves and losing our humanity in the process

Good evening from Inwood Hill Park, the very top of Manhattan. For the first time in a long time, I’m wearing my sneakers because tonight we’re walking the whole island. See you in the streets.

We need a return to analog culture: handwritten letters, seeing films in the cinema, reading books, in-person visits, time in the outdoors. We weren't meant to spend our whole lives online. The joys of tangible living are something no one can take from you.

Being skilled at pleasantries, small talk, and common courtesy really changes your relationship with your immediate environment and expands your luck in ways that are mundane but impactful!

In Greek translations, “virgin” meant “one unto herself” — whole, unbound, sovereign. A woman in her own orbit, guided by inner vision, not external worldly demands. Her world within is pure, untouched by cynicism, intact in her sense of purpose. A vessel for divine insight.

if mamdani wins i gotta figure out how tf to move to nyc, i yearn to live under his radical socialist caliphate

what returns me home to myself; an unedited list.
