Yeah, a lot of them are silly, but I like to keep them anyways - I tape them to the outside or on the inside of my notebooks as a little pick-me-up.
I used this notebook in undergrad for my arts and culture journalism class. I still procrastinated, but it was funny to have that reminder.

Stashing them everywhere with bright Kaweco fountain pens just in case words need to be scrawled out on paper.

An umbrella that got me through many a stormy day in my rainy college town. A book set in 1870s Yucatan, reminding me of the history of the places I visited in April when I was ignorant of Mexico's past. A notebook full of Substack drafts that might never turn into essays. A notepad I use to keep track of my tasks at the office, ans topics to research when the work is done but the day isn't. A keycard to an office building full of finance bros, where my humanities background sticks out like a sore thumb. A single bandaid for the inevitable papercuts that come your way when you write all your first drafts on paper. A pen I stole from my previous job as a small compensation for every time I was undeservedly yelled at. A stack of train tickets from 2007 that I found at the bottom of a pile of forgotten files that I couldn't just throw away. All thrown together in a tote bag from a Laotian charity that provides prosthetics to victims of the cluster bombs that still go off 50 years after the US dropped them.

So I always have some way to remember a quote or interesting fact I encounter when I’m out. Also, fun to sit on the train and try to memorize poems and quotes. I’ve banked a few away this way.

A website with a collection of screengrabs from nearly every movie you could think of, and you can sort by film title, director, cinematographer, year, genre, country, etc. Great for visual references for lookbooks, or just to discover a new film you might be interested in seeing!
I've attached one of my favorite stills, a great moment from Chungking Express (Dir. Wong Kar-Wai, 1994).

Just going out and picking up any kind of used physical media (books, CDs, DVDs, cassette tapes) makes the archivist in me happy, like I’m preserving somebody else’s story/ enjoyment of something
My personal favorite thing is VHS tapes, I’ve got a decent collection (all thrifted) and they’re usually the cheapest things offered

At my local indie cinema for a projection of the new Nosferatu, infinitely grateful I have a place like this I can go to see new stuff and incredible programming!
