i always always carry a pack of cards in my bag. my cards have been to all the countries i’ve been to and have been soaking wet, in snow, in sand... they will fall apart soon. i probably end up using them 50% of the time but at this point they are a safe item that i know i can whip out if you need to spice it up with your friends. i love learning new card games and my goal for 2025 is to ask more strangers to join in and play a few rounds with me and my friends.

It’s easier to ask other people to join than you might think……

That's a sick photo! I've started doing this with Bannagrams. Not as easy to transport as cards, but so easy to start lmao they even have a "cafe version" meant to be played on the go

I like to buy a new deck of cards in every new country or city I visit. I might never use most of them but I love being reminded of where they came from whenever I play a game.

from 5th to 8th grade i always always always kept this pack of playing cards my dad brought back from london on my person. i used them so frequently that they practically dissolved in my hands. i dont think you can ever really know someone until you’ve played them in a game of spit

i just cut open an orange, i smell it. i am about to make some tea, i smell both the cup and the tea bag. i am cooking, i smell all the ingredients and spices and make sure they work together. putting on a t-shirt, i smell it. about to pour some water into my water bottle, smell it (that can be disgusting). i don't know if this is a habit or a tick but i do it unconsciously.

this authumn my go-to grounding activity has become visiting my favourite cafe and listening to all the gossip and action happening around me. yesterday as i was drinking my tea and trying to read a bell hooks book, four british girls were loudly discussing how they wipe their bums. of course i couldn't read and had to listen and reflect on my own techniques. then on my right was a first date (?) where a french man was desperately trying to teach a girl this new card game. they were struggling. oh and last week i witnessed another very cringey first date where the guy was trying to guess his date's age for about ten minutes. i can't recommend ethical and harmless eavesdropping enough. makes me feel ALIVE!
