Texts with my dad, bizarre CAPTCHA I saw (I guess we’re identifying entities now), dictionary result from synonym search, and research on something I’m writing with nunjournal
solomonki thank you 🥹 I’m working it out still but will be exploring the parallels between makeup, cosmetic procedures, and anti aging treatments + mortuary practices as part of the inaugural issue of our upcoming monthly publication Penknife Dispatch 🙊
like communicating with the ancients
a secret language hidden in plain sight
executing messages with patience
can give a sudden sense of strange delight
you’re onto something here… there’s this interesting mixture of a relaxed texting structure melded in with elements of a profoundly knowledgeable but cool friend explaining smtg to you. unserious but also occasionally academic? idk, it ebbs & flows, but i feel that you can instinctually pick up on it the more you use the app– a new dialect of sorts
I collect words that make my brain feel something Here's what I've got so far: ramble
dapper
thrice
yellow
femme
gizmo
cattywompus
scoundrel More to come ...
My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
