Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Same!

The trains of thought are so horrifying 🥺

I had to split it over two days. There were things in the first 20 minutes that I’ll never be able to erase from my psyche

I mean 🤷‍♀️

Back to watching Frankenstein, which is far less terrifying and gross than what’s happening socially and politically.

It’s really good so far! Absolutely horrific in ways I did not imagine even though I’m familiar with book. 🫣

I think I’ll have to watch it in three legs. It’s so squicky

Frankenstein! I’m gonna have to break it up into parts though

so to speak

Eeep. No way lol

Intermissions should have a comeback. Ones that are longer than 15 minutes so you don’t have to choose between refreshments and the bathroom.

Weird how a two and a half hour movie feels unbearable to me now.

The new Bruce Lee stamps are bad-ass.

The people who didn’t get Frankenstein and the people who didn’t get Wuthering Heights are the exact same people.

Ready for my third baseball game in 24 hours 🫡 #worldseries

Amazing!! Sweet potato plants are so pretty. Everything I had died this year lol (minus the aloe and bougainvillea.) I just bought a bag of dried chamomile though! Might as well try. 🥰 Excellent work.

Oooh, very smart! I might try that actually because same! ⭐️

Wow. All very impressive! ✨

thank you!

First time I’ve been alone since Oct 1st. Mornings and evenings are very quiet and peaceful here.

It cannot get lost in the shuffle, even with so much else going on, that the world's most wealthy people have had their minds absolutely rotted out, just saturated to the dripping point with black mold down to the studs and frame, by the all encompassing unhumanity of their wealth.

🤣indeed

Hopefully just annoying. I could legit take better care of myself, so here’s hoping!. 😕💛

Update: I guess I meant touch water because I went to Iao Valley Stream #maui

I will look into it!! I figured I would get the glasses elsewhere unless Costco had super cool ones lol

How was the eye exam at Costco? (I’m pretty sure I need reading glasses)

I need to stop constantly watching this train wreck. It has a weird hold over me.

I promise I will touch grass or sand today.

Holy Kula, the jacarandas are still kind of blooming?? Bro. 😍 I need to get up that way more.
