LAZY

Lazy bastards. Cats. All they do is sprawl out in shafts of sunlight like they own the world—because, in some unspeakable, infuriating way, they do. It’s not envy, not exactly. More like reluctant reverence. I watch them with their slow blinks and casual disregard for everything that demands urgency in a human life, and I think: God, let me be that next time. If there’s an afterlife—if this universe owes us any justice at all—I want out of this skin. Reincarnate me. Strip me of ambition and anxiety, of the gnawing hunger to matter. Make me a cat in someone’s backyard, basking in dandelions and overgrown grass, twitching my tail at passing dragonflies like I’ve got all the time in the world. Let me roll on warm concrete, belly exposed in the ultimate act of trust, purring not out of contentment but as a declaration of territory. Not even the grandest visions of heaven could tempt me otherwise. Give me this one small, feral freedom. There’s a kind of holiness in the way cats move—aloof and unimpressed by gods or mortals—that makes me wonder if they’re the only creatures who got life right. And maybe, deep down, I don’t want eternal peace or salvation. Maybe I just want to nap in a sunbeam without anyone needing anything from me. Let the next life be small. Let it be simple. Let it be feline.

Housecat

I told him someday he’ll find a nice woman, settle down; she’ll be happy to bear his children, she’ll cook for him, unthinkingly defer to him—and she’ll probably do it with a smile. He told me: I’m the only good influence you’ve ever had. I told him: you thought you wanted this exotic pet but what you really wanted was a housecat, something simple and soft to touch that would curl up beside you. He told me: all I want is just something that doesn’t walk around destroying things and shitting on the floor. I’ve been pacing back and forth in this cage for as long as I can remember—hungry—and despite my best efforts, I often snap at his fingers wiggling at me through the bars.

getting involved in your community and mutual aid

2024 was my first year getting involved in my community. i’ve always been a very anti-social/introverted person who relied a lot on my friends for social interactions outside of our immediate friend groups. but i went thru a break up last year because our political goals and ideas didn’t match up, and now im left alone to discover the wonders of my community. i must admit i haven’t gone to any physical events YET, but it will be my first time this weekend (: i’ve mainly been donating, going to educationals, and spreading the word on any mutual aid i can think of on IG. but i have been (machine) knitting beanies to distribute to the houseless while it’s cold af outside! i’ve made about 40-50 beanies now (also a great time for me to go down my letterboxd watchlist). you get to interact with amazing people and help people who have been screwed over by our gov. but remember, mutual aid is not charity. its when we come together as a community to help people who need help, with no strings attached. anyways, this is your sign to look at what you can do for your communities! i promise it's so worth the time and it's really changed my life and the life of those received aid
