not googling things

Sometimes the fun of a disagreement or pondering information isn’t in knowing the answer but in yapping about what you think and comparing opinions! Did this today with when the word skedaddle was first used.

Asking the internet

If you don’t know the answer, there’s a good chance someone else does. My musical process exists in a niche space, so for me specifically sometimes the best way to learn new things is to open my questions up to the internet. Like why not just put the question out there. It’s a direct portal to almost ANYONE in the world, what a useful tool.

greenhouse cats

if you spend time in local garden centers/nurseries, you’re liable to encounter greenhouse cats! they serve a similar purpose as barn cats, catching rodents and pests that can harm the plants, but mostly they just bask in the sunny warmth of the greenhouse. this is morris, the cat at my greenhouse. (-: he’s old as bones but is the sweetest boy. when i’m lucky, he accompanies me as i care for the plants.

having a collection

this is my shell collection. my mom use to collected them too. she filled our home with sea glass and clam shells— something i regretfully regarded as tacky when i was teenager. i spent my childhood by the ocean but we moved to a landlocked state when i was 10. i thought her collections were born of an inability to let go of the past, something i now understand as a means to preserve the connection to it— a gentle reminder. four years ago she started forgetting things. small things at first, the name of my highschool best friend or where she’d left her keys. eventually, she began to forget my tattoos and how to read. her world is full of gentle reminders now— we do everything we can to help her not forget. the collections help, serving as tangible memory links. i think my own collection was born out of this. i’ll surround her with iridescent mementos if i have to; i want her to remember. collections aren’t frivolous. sometimes, their meanings are revealed to you as they grow.
