everything is political

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 📝

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! 🐈🐈‍⬛

The newest issue of parts:whole anthology came out in August! The very cool thing about this journal is that it exists in print and the internet, curated and designed by Leslie Kay Lim. Each issue has a theme, and this one was “Myth.” 🌜🦄🌛

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