Public transit

I’m thankful to live in an area where public transit is (mostly) accessible. i take the train to school, and my absolute favorite time of day is my 45 minute train ride to and from campus!! I love just putting my earbuds in and zoning out the window, watching all the sights go by and resting/resetting/refreshing my brain. not to mention the people watching !!! there is soooo many different types of people that take transit, and it’s so humanizing to just observe everyone and remember everyone has their own life. It’s also interesting to see the different types of people that take different transit. I’ve taken the bus and the train to the same city, but the types of people are so vastly different and it’s so very interesting. I will never get people who don’t like public transit. plus, you can rest! nap, eat, just chill, up to you!! also better for the environment 🤓

public transport

i have to take an almost hour long bus ride each way to uni everyday, but i feel like i can finally appreciate little aspects of my city (double decker busses are even better i feel like a little kid when i sit on the top floor)

Ins and outs - 2025

I encourage you to rip into me if you disagree because shying away from disagreement is what??👂 OUT! IN • Reading books • Folk-rock and folk-country • Doing stuff on the computer and not your phone like god intended (social media, online shopping, etc.) • Clothes-wise: colored tights, mini skirts, scarves • Being late to work • Talking to strangers, in the same vein: making new friends • Writing • Taking the bus and the train • Saying what you need to say and doing so succinctly • Unionizing your workplace OUT • Boring convos with coworkers • Wearing clothes you don’t really like • Minnesota nice (see also: being nice is not always the same as being kind) • VAPING OHHH MY GOD. WRAP IT UP!!! • Caring about makeup, unless you’re a drag queen or a goth. Like you get 15 minutes max • Shying away from disagreement • Fast casual chain restaurants - go eat local and sit down for a while • Paw Patrol (copaganda) • Ass kissing • Being under 25

the Left hand of darkness - Ursula K. le guin

I mean. Wow. I wish I could formulate coherent literary analysis but I think I just need to sit with this for a month. Humanity, gender, politics, fear, love. The heart of culturally long-lasting, impactful sci fi is when the sci is merely a background to the fi, ya know? Tried to pick a quote but can’t right now. If you hear shrill screaming in the distance just know it’s me wailing over this book Illustration by David Lupton

Feeling the feeling

Even though it hurts like hell. Even though it’s wildly inconvenient. Even though you feel stupid or embarrassed for feeling it. Even though you’ve psychoanalyzed yourself to death and traced the issue all the way back to your childhood mistreatment. The only way out is through here.
