📲
My favorite mode of communication with my besties. A phone call without the phone call. A conversation without having to listen to someone else in real time. A safer, more private way to talk shit. If you aren’t volleying voice-memos back and forth between your lovers and friends, I suggest starting now and without warning. If they text you back, send them a voice-memo in response. Eventually, they will cave and start voice-memoing too. If you need an excuse for why you refuse to text, blame carpal tunnel or long press on nails.

🔊if the text requires more than 3 sentences it’s a voice memo! the efficiency of just getting to speak! the intimacy of sending your voice and the process of gathering your thoughts in real time! the presence of tone and vocal inflection! i actually aspire to only ever communicate via phone calls and voice memos. texting is such a menace in my life.

🍵If, like me, you sometimes find it difficult to stay out until the early morning hours, partying, hosting literary salons, and maintaining a genial persona, consider foregoing Adderall and cocaine in favor of Truly Iced Tea. It has a healthy amount of caffeine in it, zero sugar, enough alcohol to get you loose but not sloppy, and can be purchased at most Duane Reade and CVS drugstores. Every flavor is good, but I especially enjoy a can of classic lemon.

🧘This is especially important if you are an artist or aspiring artist but it’s also just a good way to enjoy life and avoid getting hurt. Where it is true that our culture privileges youth and beauty and instant gratification, it is more true that meaningful, well-made and carefully considered art (and decisions) eventually rise to the top. But to make something well and carefully, one must be patient. This can mean putting the project, question or concern away for a while to return to it with fresh eyes. Or finding a group of like-minded individuals you can trust to give you honest feedback. Whatever your path to patience just remember that when all is said and done, it’s better to produce work or life choices that you know, without a shadow of a doubt, reflect your personal best, rather than rush and regret it later.

😋In accordance with the Kar-Jenner global agenda, capitalistic cycle and general hatred of women fomented by American culture, looking extremely skinny and gaunt is back in fashion. For most bodies, achieving this look necessitates caloric restriction which is painful, addictive and sucks from life all its glory and joy. It also, over time, leaves people with anxiety around normal social stuff, like going to restaurants and eating in front of friends. As someone who wasted way too many years of my life feeling this particular brand of anxiety, I am here to tell you, it’s not worth it. Kate Moss said nothing tastes as good as skinny feels, but she was wrong. Nothing tastes as good as freedom from obsessing about food feels. Also emaciation makes you look old and weak. Also if you are restricting to address areas of stubborn fat, you are running a fool’s errand. Liposuction is for areas of stubborn fat. It removes fat cells permanently, is an easy to finance outpatient procedure, and many places don’t even put you to sleep for it.
