When it comes to promotion, I haven’t been thinking about that all. It’s not that it isn’t important, I’ve just mostly been grieving my literary/media community and being able to share our work with one another in a pretty seamless and effective way.

scenes from west texas

im so glad ethel cain released an ambient noise album just in time to be the soundtrack of my strange winter

making zines, listening to cassettes, baking bread, reading long, fat books >>>>

a summer afternoon in 2012 would cure me rn

towns with names like Ypsilanti please be serious

a river rock with nymphs under it hates to see me coming

noticing more writers and artists focusing on creating analog offerings next year and that makes sense to me! ppl are tired of living on algorithms. we want tangible things we can hold in our hands that have meaning and weren't given or sent to us via AI or through data harvesting

making a zine on interesting cloud formations >>>

in the mood to be encompassed by the fog and mist

i sent my aunt a chappell roan video and she goes "aw, she looks nice. you know her from around town or something?"

I just want to walk around the city and be alone and listen to some new songs I’m into. I do not want to be “on” and social.

only applying to jobs in chicago rn and not telling anyone

looking in the mirror realizing i dress like a boy in middle school most of the time MOST

a porn bot on IG liked my story about my friend who just died it's so twisted i laughed

thinking about not going back to west texas this weekend and instead parachuting into a new life somewhere far far away

not doing well at trying to tell my story without revealing any secrets

looked at the music festival happening in marfa next month and they're teaching classes on two stepping, welding your own pipe, lassoing, and how to roll a joint

the looks my dog gives me when I'm working out or doing yoga at home - very humbling

back in austin for the moment where the wifi and service is plentiful. still feeling insane but a calm insane? hoping things start looking up once the new moon arrives

not having wifi at my house is making me go a little bit insane i think :)
