Everyone seems to love elevators. I don’t understand it. I’m terrified of them. Shutting yourself in a tiny box and being at the mercy of electricity, when instead, you could take the stairs. Taking the stairs is healthy. Burn some calories. Arriving at your destination out of breath with adrenaline coursing through your veins is a way more exciting way to start whatever it is you’re doing on that high up floor than waiting in a little box. It can also motivate you to get places earlier. Trust me, try taking the stairs for a week and you’ll feel way better.

I am the ultimate vertical locomotor.
There’s nothing good about stairs in and of themselves, though they are perhaps the peak of pre-electronic liminal technology. Use this fact to your advantage: lunge multiple steps at a time, run up on all fours, slide down a railing, go up the fast route on an escalator.
maximise the potential of stairs, go as fast as you can

Will not be elaborating on this except to say when I’m at my parents house I become someone else, and u feel like a wild animal and have arguably a lot more balance as you ascend

If your band name doesn’t have a The in it, I don’t even know what to tell you.

Especially late at night, but it works during the day too. I think because you’re not on the move but you’re also not at a destination or at home. It’s kind of like the ultimate in-between state. There’s something very romantic about it to me, and I like other “in-between” settings for the same reason, like airports and rest stops. I think it’s because your thoughts appear more naked to you when you don’t have something familiar around you to latch on to. And you also aren’t in a position to take any kind of action at the present moment, so it’s easier to confront your thoughts. There’s a book called Non-Places: An Introduction to Super-Modernity by Marc Augé that kinda speaks on this. So I’ll recommend that too.

Randonautica is an app that generates a “quantumly random” point on a map which you go to. You’re supposed to set an intention, however vague you want, while it generates the point and see what you discover with regards to that intention on the way to the point and then at the point itself. Then you can set another point from the first point and keep this process going as long as you want. I guess it was a thing on TikTok for a while but I swear it isn’t corny. I did it by myself out of curiosity and had a really crazy experience that’s too complicated to explain. No one I told seemed phased by it until I forced my friends to do it when we were in London and we had an equally crazy experience. I know it’s annoying that I’m not giving details but trust me, it’s too complicated to explain. But we found something so related to our intention that kinda freaked out. I love the idea of playing with reality, becoming hyper-aware of your environment, and seeing what’s around you in a different light. Even beyond the eerie metaphysical element, it’s a really interesting way to explore your environment.
