“I feel like yelling Stop quite a bit these days. Every time I hear about Twitter...”
– Stop the World: Interesting Times : The New Yorker
Ohgodohgodohgod YES. Every impulse I’ve had lately, endorsed and explained elegantly by George Packer. The only trouble is, I found this on Twitter––via rach.

finished the essay!

catsrshit asked: hi i like your art :)
“Every part of the journey is desirable.”
– Gedi Sibony, Artist.
Gedi talked to my class tonight, about his work & answered questions. I asked him something about the goal of his art, and this quote was part of his response.
He gave the example of taking his child to the park, to illustrate: You plan to do go somewhere and do something...

there’s still a pile of my old hair in the sink after i cut it off earlier. i don’t know what to do with it. i have really thick hair, and i took about 7 inches off, so there’s lots and lots of it. it’s still clumped together in little ropes the way it was when it was part of me, it’s not lost it’s shape. it makes me feel guilty somehow, even though it’s...

Write one leaf about the snooze button.
(via writeoneleaf)
I rarely use the snooze button. Sadly this does not mean I am motivated and alert as soon as I wake up, ready to leap out of bed and face the world, and have no need for a snooze button. It’s just that normally I utilise my own internal snooze button, and leave it to the fates- if I doze here for 5 minutes and wake up again, I’ll get up and go out, if I fall asleep...

Write one leaf about your ritual in the bath or...
writeoneleaf:
If it helps, have a bath or shower first.
I don’t have any kind of ritual. Sometimes I take baths, and sometimes I take showers. I don’t take them at a set time, and I don’t have a specific order in which I do things. Sometimes I forget to shampoo my hair because I wasn’t paying attention, and sometimes I shampoo twice because I can’t remember if I...

right. i’ve decided. i’m going to design skis and ski-suits (the tight ones they wear in championship skiing) and maybe the normal ones too. (because frankly the kits this year are mainly rubbish) and then i’m going to get really good at it, and i’m going to speak french better and then hopefully someone will employ me to live in the french alps all winter season, designing...
