cut the shit microwave isnt giving you what you want. oil in pot, make it hot, settle your kernels, watch and yearn-les, first one pop, cap on top, melt your butter, heart will flutter, amount of salt, at your fault. advanced technique : when the popped corn is in a bowl distributes half of the butter & some of the saltβ have another bowl ready (same ish size) place on top shake like flipping pancake π remove bowl distribute rest of butter and salt
1. throw that sucker in boiling water for 10 minutes
2. top it with butter, salt, and lime juice
3. eat it with zero manners whatsoever the more messy the better not my picture but i wish it was bc i love corn it's the best summer food
romanticise ur blunders & ur missteps, bc that is just part of being a creature. if u saw a duckling fall flat on its face and scramble 2 its feet u wouldn't judge the freakin duckling, u would think it was the cutest thing ever. because it is. we r just organisms in big ungainly bodies, and that is part of our charm. tripping over ur own feet is maybe the most adorable thing u can do. like awwhh u tripped on the pavement </333
this extends 2 social interactions 2. messaging exes that u miss them, making a joke that doesn't land, mishearing/not knowing/forgetting something, etc??!!?! SO SWEET. genuinely such wonderful & important & adorable things 2 do.
i think this is maybe the best thing i've ever managed 2 train my brain 2 do. it isn't foolproof but it makes life a lot gentler.
just about everything that happens to you will be interesting to your future self/your descendants/archaeologists. immortalise your to do lists, shopping lists, packing lists, things that loved ones say, things that strangers say, the phrases you hear that would make a good band name. brainstorm what to do on the weekend, list your cravings, the songs stuck in your head, transcribe birdsong, etc. i track my periods & my finances in my journal. sometimes if i really want to take a photo of something i'll restrain myself and draw it in my journal instead. sometimes i take notes for uni in there, or draft sewing patterns, or sketch when im bored. journals are self-portraits!!!!!!!
