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.
Spending my birthday every year listening to Norah Jones, Sunrise oooon repeat. Having a special birthday ritual to celebrate a new year of goodness ๐ฅ
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 (:
i had a lot of thoughts on my birthday here are some:
> life will never be forgiving
> it is a privilege to continue to live
> suffering is inherent with a body
> my focus determines my reality
im really into thinking about diasporic cinema, as in this new wave of cinema by recent immigrants / first gen americans, about this sort of โthird way/third waveโ 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 -SF

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