some movies need to be viewed twice to be fully appreciated. I just finished watching the boy and the heron a second time and yeah, it was much better the second time around.
give things a chance. I hated it on first watch, but this time it really grew on me.

i didn’t get to watch interstellar when it initially came out but lady luck loves me and i got to experience watching this masterpiece at the cinema at just the right place and time (with a fully developed brain and plenty of knowledge about the topics at hand).
a few years back i also watched disney’s hercules and it was glorious so whatever the movie is i think everyone should take advantage of theatrical re-releases.

I didn't pay attention enough or perhaps I was too young to appreciate it the first time I watched.
The second time, however, was a treat.

i don't think anyone ever intends to become a recreational ornithologist. but i've noticed that it definitely creeps up on you slowly in your mid-twenties. it starts with noticing how funny pigeons are, then learning pigeon lore, and suddenly you're feeding your neighbourhood birds every morning and buying books on birds. as a child i idolised the pigeon lady in home alone 2, and i woke up this morning and realised — i AM the pigeon lady 🐦

reading is a habit of building and developing your empathy and critical thinking skills. you’re forced to sit with an idea for however long you are reading it and forced to contextualise it and comprehend it within your own life and perspective. You can’t just scroll away or pause or put it on 2x speed. you have to sit with it. it’s super underrated, but genuinely I’ve made this a habit for the last year and feel like a totally different person. also you come out of it having learned something new or seeing the world in a slightly new way. I literally do not see any downsides to reading. make reading cool again! also you don’t have to do it in one big block, you can space it out — 15 mins here, 45 there — whatever works for you!

our cultural obsession with being perceived as cool is a disease. its peak capitalistic/consumerist propaganda. fuck being cool. like what you like and who cares if it's cool or not. it's tiresome and we need to leave it in 2024. literally nothing gives me the ick more than people who betray themselves in an attempt to be perceived as cool by the masses. be yourself — even if it means you're 'uncool'.
