Reading craigslist missed connections as a new form of poetry

This is one of my top recommendations of all time and one of my favorite pastimes. Ive been accumulating a collection of screenshots of the most beautiful, strange, and funny posts I’ve found on there since 2016 or so. The range of emotions, experiences, writing styles- it’s so beautiful to me. Go search for some good ones, if you get a chance.

Poetry

The single best thing we created with human language. Writing it, reading it, fuckin posting it to your stories, sending it to your friends, just consume more of it I promise you’ll start to see what I mean. Here’s my favourite one right now. The whole world is a poem if you know where to look!!!!

Allowing things to have their season

Gazpacho only in the late summer, persimmons only in the winter, etc. just because we can import anything from anywhere anytime doesn’t mean we should. Nothing is special if you can have it whenever you want it.

Referring to activities as “playing”

Whenever my housemate Cody and I have to do home improvement we say “let’s play hammer and saw”. i love playing hammer

giving your ears and brain a break

no podcasts no music no earbuds… sometimes it’s nice to not listen to anything and just let yourself be raw in the world for a bit
