under ripe bananas

have been accused of psychopathy for this one but my ideal banana still has a faint tinge of green. texture is better and it has a nice tang to it

perfectly ripe bananas

The currently circulating banana chart doesn’t accurately portray my banana preferences. I think a perfect banana is between 9-11 on this scale. Bananas should be purchased between 5-7 and you should begin to manage banana ripening + ethylene gasses at around #7 (wrapping, separating, refrigerating). Bananas become edible around #8 and become an ingredient as opposed to a solitary food at stages 13-15. Thank you very much for your time.

The greener the better

I believe that the greener the bananas you buy the better. I also exclusively like to eat green bananas so I may be biased. But buying green bananas allows them to ripen in your house. Typically when the banana is yellow with anywhere from a little green at the end or the beginning of browns spots its considered ripe.

birdwatching

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 for 60-90mins a day

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!

not trying to be cool

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'.
