I’ve been dreaming in Mandarin and Japanese lately (full conversations and when I realize it I start to wake up) so the lessons are working? 😮‍💨

how the summer had me feeling 🔥🔥

Right about now, the honk shoo brother

weighing the pros and cons of closing off my backyard—

pro: total, blissful privacy. Can enjoy a morning coffee in my garden without perceiving/ being perceived

con: I can’t give the nosey bitches a show out of spite

omg, real

One thing I'ma never get tired of is yelling congratulations to strangers on the street who are very clearly in their wedding attire

Same for anybody in a cap and gown

super thankful my Buddha statue and glass table survived the collapse 😬

gazebo didn’t make it (lol), and I love that my mind immediately went to “I can spend the money I would have spent replacing it with another flimsy metal OR buy the privacy shrubs I’ve wanted”

they’re half off now (✨end of the seasonnn✨) and I’ll get twice as much for the same cost 😙

the drunk snaps of me complaining about the lighter to dispensary ratio in the city 💀😂 I was so close to bartering for a match box.

Big day for people who care about other people

Dick Cheney dies, Zohran Mamdani wins, a beaver moon shines in the sky… I just know the Etsy witches have been busy.

The moon gate garden arch project I started building in my yard over the summer. A winding “S” path of slate gray tile snakes through a yard with fig tree transplants, yew bushes, and tall grasses.

this crazy weather ™️ is how my moon gate was born btw. lowkey looking forward to rescuing branches that fell in the neighborhood tomorrow morning

my tree is as old as the house and whenever we get 30-50mph gusts out of nowhere I fear for its safety as much as my own 🤣

I don’t check the forecast (I should).
Barely had enough time to rescue my gazebo and untie the sails (curtains)

shoutout to two neighbors who ran outside to help/ figure out why they smelled smoke (it was me, forgetting about the wind advisory and the BUCKETS of rain that fell immediately after lmao)

A child mocking someone

Lets get to the bag or whatever this stupid capitalist rat race is!

Congrats to NYC, the capital of Real America

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history.

Now let’s get to work.

Inbox— next cover of the New Yorker: “Mayor Mamdani,” by Edel Rodriguez

Hi, I'm God and I have called the NYC race for Zohran Mamdani. Hey corporate assholes, go fuck yourselves.

It feels good to cry for a nice reason for once yk?

really important element of this basically total victory is that it puts the fear of god in republican incumbents and may bring the redistricting push to a total halt

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.

The president and his allies came after him.

Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.

He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.

His politics can win anywhere.

Tonight I know all my enemies are having a terrible time, which is almost as sweet as winning.

Zohran picked 「卓蘭」("excellent orchid") for his first name and「夸梅」("brilliant plum") for his middle name.

The orchid and the plum are among "The Four Noble Ones" in traditional Chinese art, the former symbolizing an indifference to fame and fortune, the latter an indomitable, incorruptible spirit.
