I love how this just shows the dedication one can give to their craft, and also a really good story about a son living up to his father’s legacy. Also… I used to hate sushi, but after seeing how delicious they made it look in the film, I decided to try ”real” sushi and I loved it!!

inspiring, well-filmed documentary about one man’s obsession/dedication to the craft of sushi making. you really see the impact of his philosophy of striving to continuously improve on his sons and his staff and it’s crazy how he takes decades to train them. he is a cultural phenomenon yet never intended to become famous. the sushi also looks mouthwatering and I liked how they touched on the societal problems with overfishing as well.

Caught it at Metrograph last night. A true masterpiece about the nature of work and identity in Japan and beyond.
I left thinking “maybe Sisyphus did have a choice?”

I’m not a parent and do not plan to be. Kids can wear me out fast with their high energy and noise level; it leaves me very over-stimulated. But it’s pretty extreme when people say they ”hate kids” and I often feel it’s a reflection of their childhood and beliefs around how kids “should be.” That they were expected to be quiet, obedient, and out of the way by their parents when they were little.
It’s fucking hard to be a kid. You’re dealing with a rapidly-changing body and underdeveloped brain, managed by flawed adults who are enforcing boundaries that you do not understand. It’s confusing and hard to manage your feelings and honestly just a lot.
People are impatient with kids when they‘re brand new to the world and figuring it all out, and this is a time kids need a friend the most. Children can also be teachers to adults with how they are less habituated to the world. They teach us how to be free and open-hearted and silly and imaginative.
A good practice is to be kinder and gentler with kids. If that feels difficult, start with gentleness toward your inner child. Maybe that’s the child in your life that needs your attention and kindness most.

I meant to post this yesterday. Absolutely beautiful morning for walk.
This morning is also beautiful but in a spring rain kind of way.
