exhibition openings are without a doubt the absolute worst times to look at art. they can be fun dont get me wrong, i love to yap and i love free wine but undoubtedly its like a glorified peacocking experience/being stuck in the perpetual first act of a party (the hey-hows-it-going-who-are-you-here-with-have-you-seen-the-work-whatddya-think-what-have-you-been-working-on-lately? before you catch the eye of someone else you know across the room they come over and it repeats). its too crowded to move around the space because people are stood in clusters of 3-5, usually in front of pieces of work, and its too loud really to pay attention to reading any texts/watching any moving image stuff. fun as social excursions but if you really want to soak up the exhibition and can only attend once its probably better to go on literally any other day.

🖼I recommend an exhibition/gallery/museum for a first friend date. You get to talk about what you're looking at and what you like and what you don't and that leads to loads of tangent conversation opportunities. And you can have a coffee after and walk around a bit and decide what you would buy from the gift shop if you had unlimited money. Plus you can pick up the listings and find another show you want to go to and plan a second friend date!

⭐And getting extremely close to the art. Inspect every detail. 6 inches away or closer is optimal. Touch it if nobody is looking.
Leave silently without drinking any of the free booze or taking any pictures to post on your story. On your way out, take one of the press releases and stare at it intently for a few minutes. Sign your name on the little book with an unnecessarily large signature.

🍿was so so sad last night and found myself at the movies. started sobbing the moment i sat in the chair for reasons entirely unrelated to the film (although it was very sad). kind of relished in it though bc the cinema unlike buses/trains/cafes is like the only public space where you wont be scorned for crying. its the only acceptable place outside of the comfort of your home for you to sit down and have a good wail because everyone will think ur crying about the movie and no one will judge u.

☠️a punk rock road movie by gregg araki about a couple that pick up a drifter. weirdness and chaos ensue. impeccable soundtrack and the costuming was waaaay ahead of its time. its like challengers on crack. one of my favourite flicks and was my teenage gateway into cool girl underground films. be warned though it gets pretty violent at times!

👂absolutely nothing sexier or more caring than deciding to give someone your rapt and undivided attention in a world full of distracting bright flashing things where everyone at any given moment is consuming two or three things at once. plus the feeling of someone remembering something minor you said super offhandedly (like a childhood anecdote or a snack you were craving) and bringing it up in conversation again days later makes you feel so seen and understood, literally the loveliest feeling ever.
