When we let go of the fear we hold towards the smallest creatures of our environment, and learn how to immerse ourself in an instance of nature rather than making an instance of nature our own, we learn to truly be alive. Bugs are great because you canāt own them, but you can admire their beauty. #bugnation2024

Despite my past fears, I have spent the last year leaning to love bugs. Researching bugs and looking for them on my walks and noticing noticing noticing. Things are less scary when they arenāt unknown! The world is more beautiful when you appreciate the things that make it work! To be alive is to be in community with the wild world around us! Bugs are cool!

When is the last time you sat down outside and watched some bugs? Theyāre small and beautiful and make the world go round. Some of my favorite childhood memories include turning over rocks in the desert, looking for centipedes and scorpions with my dad. I highly recommend watching some bugs go about their day; bees and ants are especially enthralling.

This is an idea Iāve been coming back to a lot recently. Sometimes bugs come inside and thatās okay. I have to remind myself that outside bugs being inside is not some sort of cleanliness failure on my part. Iām very diligent about keeping my living space clean, but some things you canāt control. Bugs are just living their lives, and they donāt care about these structures weāve built to separate ourselves from the elements.
Sometimes I want to open the window while I work, but I donāt because Iām worried flies will get inside. But like... thatās okay!!!! I can handle a fly or two being in my space. I shouldnāt let that fear stop me from enjoying the fresh air, and neither should you.

Sometimes I recommend being a hater. Iām not here to talk about the numerous quality uses of AI, how often it is actually used nor am I here to critique AI without strawmanning it. I donāt care if I strawman an account of AI because I genuinely despise the way most people use AI. I think AI generated images are ugly. I think that AI cannot hold a half decent conversation. Iām completely avoidant when it comes to showing AI my writing; Iāve never done it and I refuse to. I hate when you go to that one poetry website and there is AI āanalysisā there, because its not real textual analysis and it upholds a certain contextualised intentionalist framework of reading a text reinforced in high school English. I hate that the meta AI will influence what products will be advertised to you. I donāt care if itās the future. I genuinely love being called a dinosaur because I hate AI.

Side tables are out, vibe tables are in. Just put all your trinkets, possessions without utility and favourite belongings that are your vibe. The space should have no utility, nor should it pretend like it does (like the conventional side table does). Let it be the place in your room which makes you smile, even if the rest of your space looks like a pigsty.
