╰ seconding @BEE1000's bringing an empty water bottle to fill after security ╰ carry on: 2 fl oz hypochlorous acid spray or rose water for hydrating skin mid-air ╰ carry on: a deli sandwich to look forward to ╰ carry on: a playlist of your favorite, most joyous or soothing songs ╰ carry on: an engrossing book ╰ coping with turbulence: remember that planes are built specifically to withstand turbulence ╰ coping with turbulence: dance in your seat when it gets bumpy. it moves the anxious energy through you and it works to confuse the body as to where the jolts are coming from ╰ if you must, have max (1) alcoholic drink, altitude intensifies dehydration

@CROISSANTMMM it can also be exciting to eat at airports / eat a meal provided by an international flight but a paper-wrapped sandwich can be a talisman too

If you’re not in the aisle seat and need to wake someone up, wake them up. This doesn’t make you rude or a bad person! Get to the airport early-early if you can. No need to add additional stress to your trip. Someone here suggested packing a couple days early to reduce stress. Some people love a neck pillow. Bring an empty water bottle to fill after going thru airport security Keep your seatbelt on, loosened a little, so any turbulence won’t feel scary Maybe think about how wonderful it is to be able to travel so far so quickly. Flying is annoying and uncomfortable, and it also is safe!

I have severe anxiety when flying so I often have to vomit or use the bag for breathing and it was nice to just be told that I just have a “gentle heart” instead of just feeling like a maniac

extend the life of your clothes by covering holes or stains with embroidery floss and yarn while giving them new cool zombie flair! you don’t even have to be neat, the more imperfect the weave the more organic the result. the best mended garments are almost fungal, covered in sick multi-colored lichen.

it’s not bed rotting to rest when you’re tired, run-down, or sick. I can feel where capitalist dogma has seeped into me every time I feel doubt or shame for how much time I’ve spent in bed or doing very little, or the fear that I’ll never be motivated to do anything again. it’s not true! inevitably after only 3 days of solid rest I naturally crave activity, projects, organization, work, and not as penance. rec for rest: screen time of any kind is not the rest I’m talking about… we’re talking rest as a monotask.

my fridge? a gallery. tripping in the street? physical comedy workshop. eating chips and salsa and guac? that tortilla is a brush, my guy, and your mouth is the easel.
