i’m trying to find a folk song, but all i remember is the singer has deep voice, and the subject is something about cigarettes, coffee, and/or the devil? lol let me know if this rings a bell 🙏🏼

some more fuzzy Spain photos ~

New thing about me is I'm writing a bi-weekly substack about various things: photos I didn't take, a line from Muholland Drive, returning to Oslo after leaving for a month, intentional mistakes in Persian carpets, AI but not AI, and my hazy camera photos 🍄

The Art of Making Mistakes on Purpose Persian carpets, AI, and the errors that reveal humanity

Is a mistake considered a mistake when done on purpose? 🤔

There is no such thing as the State
And no one exists alone;
Hunger allows no choice
To the citizen or the police;
We must love one another or die.

-W.H. Auden

today

Half-Night And even though I don’t quite feel that Oslo is home, I wonder what home means, and if we can ever attain it.

Wrote my second substack post 🌀 this one is not about David Lynch and not about my move to Oslo 📝

notes about my poem

information about the zine

Right before moving to Oslo, I submitted a poem to Persian Cat Poetry Zine. Here is a poem from my manuscript using Persian words I always thought were Armenian. Thank you, Persian Cat Poetry Zine! 🐈🐈‍⬛

we easily forgive the sun for leaving so quickly when it leaves like this

when the sun arrives calmly and with a warm cup for coffee
