I surround myself with space age objects whenever I can because it makes me feel like humans can decide what we want the future to be. We’re living the last generations vision of the future right now. The concept is glamorous, but when you grow up in something magical, it’s easy to mistake for the mundane. Someone from the 50’s wouldn’t mistake today as mundane. So Space Age design reminds me to think about the future myself.I work at a bright yellow plastic desk and sleep on top of a rocket-ship I built.
basement desk, but i’ve tried to jazz it up as much as i can. 80s garfield plushes on the floor, halloween posters on the wall, in-progress pop tab chainmail in the corner, double stereos, it’s definitely... a place to do things…
These disposable vapes are filled with nasty chemicals. I have asthma and I feel the ingredients powerfully. I could run a marathon while juuling. The deli vapes? I can’t even lay down and breathe. Stop using them. Juul takes the prize.
The women in my family have a longtime fear of the evil eye - a superstition that there is evil watching and waiting to take fortunes away from us. To ward it off, my mother would pair gratitude with the redaction of it. The idea was to confuse the evil eye so it wouldn’t know what to take from us. When I asked her if the evil eye was real, she told me that evil is real. The form doesn’t matter. What matters is staying vigilant around the things you care about. When you love something, remind yourself to protect it.
