i recently got some film developed and there were a couple of rolls from my point and shoot that ended up blurry and out of focus. at first i was bummed and didn't want to download them, but now they're my favourite photos from the roll. sometimes mistakes can be beautiful — don't delete the bad stuff!

My mom makes fun of me for this, but I actually think it’s a lovely way to live in the moment when you’re with friends!!! No retakes, no fixating on perfection. Plus when you look back on them you get to be like “oh yeah!! I remember taking that pic!!!” The lack of instant gratification is good for my overanalyzing 💕

obviously this applies to old photos but also recent ones - i have this terrible afiction where when my friends and i take pictures together i’ll think i look terrible in all of them and get depressed but then a few months later ill go back and find some really nice pictures - it’s always a good reminder that i’m in my head too much

i don't think anyone ever intends to become a recreational ornithologist. but i've noticed that it definitely creeps up on you slowly in your mid-twenties. it starts with noticing how funny pigeons are, then learning pigeon lore, and suddenly you're feeding your neighbourhood birds every morning and buying books on birds. as a child i idolised the pigeon lady in home alone 2, and i woke up this morning and realised — i AM the pigeon lady 🐦

reading is a habit of building and developing your empathy and critical thinking skills. you’re forced to sit with an idea for however long you are reading it and forced to contextualise it and comprehend it within your own life and perspective. You can’t just scroll away or pause or put it on 2x speed. you have to sit with it. it’s super underrated, but genuinely I’ve made this a habit for the last year and feel like a totally different person. also you come out of it having learned something new or seeing the world in a slightly new way. I literally do not see any downsides to reading. make reading cool again! also you don’t have to do it in one big block, you can space it out — 15 mins here, 45 there — whatever works for you!

our cultural obsession with being perceived as cool is a disease. its peak capitalistic/consumerist propaganda. fuck being cool. like what you like and who cares if it's cool or not. it's tiresome and we need to leave it in 2024. literally nothing gives me the ick more than people who betray themselves in an attempt to be perceived as cool by the masses. be yourself — even if it means you're 'uncool'.
