I found her for $15 at Goodwill and I was taken by the simplicity and sweetness of her shape and loved the little storage compartment on the left. It took me a while to realize that you can push in the circle on the topmost center panel to lift them up and expose a hidden shelf underneath!
I have a dedicated office space but I use it for yoga and Pilates too so I love that I can avoid being psychologically and energetically terrorized by my work laptops and equipment—this would be a great feature for someone who lives in a one-bedroom or studio and you could use it as a multipurpose working surface!
I’ve been delusionally telling myself that I want to refinish it and line the shelf and compartment with ornate floral contact paper… we shall see about that but I’m happy with it even in its current state. Still seeking the perfect chair at the perfect seat height that sings to me

Ok I’m gonna let my New York PI family in on maybe the best rec I’ve ever received. There’s a magical place called OHR in the west 20s that is essentially a graveyard for failed startups. They predominantly sell used, but high quality fancy office chairs.
I got a $1500 chair for $500 with a freshly installed cushion. I’d have to look up exactly what it is, but wow it’s a total dream and I feel a major difference the rare times I sit in it (combo of traveling a ton and often having too much shit on my desk to sit there).
They have strange hours and don’t always follow what’s posted on Google, so I had to make a few attempts to go. But wow I’m glad I did since I have both a fabulous chair for a fraction of the cost, and a wild New York story all in one (the people who work there are, um, characters, and it was a very funny interaction). I hope I don’t need another chair in my lifetime, but if I do wow I know where I’m going.

I know slavoj zizek is a fucking loser now, but his movie A Pervert's Guide to Ideology was the first piece of media that began to rub away the sheen/shellac of pretense that the world operates smoothly. It was my first time really engaging with a Marxian analysis and sitting with it. I was in high school, and it set me up to care about critical theory. From this movie, I'd read Mark Fisher's really quick book "Capitalist Realism: is there no alternative?" Fisher grounds a lot of his theory in culture/media in a very similar way to Zizek.
After that, I'd follow recommendations made by others in the thread!

1. Scroll the "everyone" feed (almost completely ignore that home/friends page)
2. Like gratuitously
3. Follow people who post things you like
4. I try to be brave and comment when feeling moved
I don't search or look for anything in particular, personally, unless I'm about to post something and curious if others have done so already. Just let the river float by and enjoy the ride

To drink wine and feel, uncontrollably, in passionate desire -- but know it is only for a brief time
The sad truth is that sometimes feelings are bottled up in maladaptive ways. And what drinking can be is a way to open the door to what's hidden from view even of the self. And to step through the threshold and fall down the bottomless pit of desire and amorousness for the world and connection. To feel the unbearable joy of breathing the energy of my compatriots, my comrades. Why does this door only unlock with this dumb and poisoning key
