it's my birthday tomorrow and i dont know how to explain it, but this track/album has really resonated with me as i reflect on what a birthday means to me and how i want to spend my time here (earth, not the app). i find myself being very reflective, and grateful to have found this song. it feels like one of those moments thats just the right thing at the right time.
also - i love the album cover, incredible. it gives off the same energy as a project ive been working on; glad i could find just a little bit more inspiration.

Every year on my birthday I listen to my favorite album (In Colour by Jamie xx) and take a walk! I started a few new traditions this year - making a playlist consisting of songs that remind me of the past year and i cap the song # at last year's age. Also, I donate to an organization or charity I admire in the amount of the age I am turning (:

Maybe every year is just too much. It’s not that exciting, it comes too fast, and you're not sure who really cares.
Being born on this rare date, (and guilty of celebrating on off-years in the past), I’ll say that when the fourth year comes around for me, everything actually feels like maybe a birthday is supposed to feel— exciting, hopeful, a little childish. Everyone cares a little more, and that’s contagious.
5 years would be too round and regular, a depressing milestone. 6 is asking too much. 1,2,3— the stakes are too low.
It’s like the Wold Cup or the ancient Olympics.
4 is perfect.

im really into thinking about diasporic cinema, as in this new wave of cinema by recent immigrants / first gen americans, about this sort of “third way/third wave” culture. i wrote this piece about latin american cinema and how US-Latin cinema could take inspiration from it.
any thoughts are welcomed and appreciated

so many good options but off the top of my head is an indie film from mexico- this super interesting film that’s clearly inspired by the french new wave. in my opinion it’s brilliant and also there are some really inspired choices in this film - love it and recommend it heavy
