~Inspired by mariamaria 可樂果 pea crackers - The best crunchy snack. I can’t stop eating them. Charli XCX, SZA, Fontaines DC - They perfectly captured various moods this year. Challengers - I love a mean Josh O’Connor. Pi.fyi app - Opened my perspective on the importance of community and showing up/taking people up on it. You can’t form new relationships in silos - and you definitely can’t by being on your phone all the time. Good space - My (sort of) local yoga studio. It’s gotten me to incorporate mindfulness and regular stretching into my routine - a very calm, welcoming space. Biography of X - This book changed my life. There’s one quote about questioning the illusion of her relationship with her deceased wife that makes me cry every time.
First one is obvious - Intermezzo by Sally Rooney. Made me think about the interior lives of men more than I usually do which I found a nice thing to do, it made me love people more. Private Rites by Julia Armfield. The same writer who write the hypnotic Our Wives Under The Sea. It’s about grief and death and climate catastrophe. I would recommend reading it and then when you’ve finished have a film night and watch His Three Daughters (2023) and The Room Next Door (2024). In that order. I accidentally consumes these three things in that order and it created something perfect in my mind. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin. I love video games and it’s the first time I’ve ever seen them portrayed with love in basically anything, made me think a lot about my relationship to games and others through them.
