Walks!

it may sound counterintuitive but sometimes youve gotta get out of your space. recently ive been going on walks with my friends (im bad at coming up with things to do). shoot the shit, take random turns, come up with silly walks, end with a hot beverage!

walking... heard of it?

a super unique and cool rec for u all... but i just moved from the Oakland hills to a more walkable area and !breaking news! it is completely changing my life for the better. at first i found it difficult to motivate myself but setting out my clothes shoes and headphones the night before so i can just slip into the fit and goooo has helped a ton. i also like to give myself little, informal quests to complete on each walk just 2 spice things up so here are some from the past week: - listen to a new episode of POOG or Seek Treatment (the only 2 pods i listen to) - find a blue box and finally mail that damn letter to Laura - re-fill bag of coffee from Ain't Normal cafe - call my BFF in Copenhagen bc time zones align at 7 in the morning - buy q-tips at Walgreen's some ideas for next week to pay more attention to my surroundings and connect: - bring my film camera and take 5 pictures - notice 5 birds, trees, flowers, plants, etc - smile at 5 strangers!!! - call my parents bc they're probably on a walk too - call my grandparents in India bc time zones also align... anyway. i love 2 walk now

BUYING HOMEWARE THAT YOUR INNER CHILD WOULD LOVE

I think 10 year old addy would’ve passed out if she’d known that she would come to own this in 13 years…you can take the girl out of bikini bottom but you can’t take bikini bottom out of the girl

Community

i know it sounds so cliché but i work for a climate organisation & i just came home from a work event so i’m feeling very inspired/energised/refreshed…please find your community because it is tiring, draining, & almost impossible to drive social change alone. you don’t have to do it alone. A community helps your cause. We protest, meet, rally, & cry in numbers for this reason. 💜

The performance of boyhood

i really also think about how much boys are taught ways to perform masculinity & how it is legitimised through tangible things like building a career etc but with women i find that from a young age our identity, behaviours, & thoughts are always spoken about in relation to other people/things — gender roles within the family, how we’re perceived by men, our friendships with other women, our relationships with material things etc etc — and this shows up in the labels that women are often given too! so and so is someone’s daughter, girlfriend, wife, mother etc etc. i envy the freedom of boyhood so much, the freedom to just be (this is not to discount the toxicity of traditional masculinity, i just think that boys are still afforded more “play” and therefore have more opportunities to develop their sense of self). maybe i am also biased because of how i’ve grown up & whatnot but i never really understood what it meant to quote unquote be a woman or perform femininity. i only saw this modelled within my nurturing friendships with women as i’ve gotten older but when i was younger, in church it was always “ok well don’t do this or that because x y z will happen to men if you do” or within my extended family it was often “are you seeing anyone? when are you having kids”. damn what happened to asking about how i’m doing or what my dreams are!!! long rant sorry !! but that’s my long winded way of saying “i feel you” haha
