if u have an iphone it’s so refreshing to redo and customize the home screen every once in a while. even if you never use it it’s like a cutesy little gallery of images you can curate- mine is just pictures of musicians and artwork i like and photos of my cats. its like organizing pictures on a wall but pocket sized

i have the aching need to make whatever I own overwhelmingly feel like me. My phone is essentially an extension of myself, a pocket version of me, so I've been dedicated to personalizing it until I settled on this layout ! It makes me happy just by looking at it.

your technology should be working for you! Don’t passively accept the coloured remote of apps to bounce through, hide them in the back, put more pleasant / informative tools on the home page. This big widget I have connects to an album of all these art pieces I saved so I get to see new ones every day 😎

there’s a thing in (particularly 20th century) folk music where artists across decades cover the same songs over and over and over again. i think it’s a beautiful museum of distinct times in history and i find it so interesting to see how artists have adapted the same songs to apply to the modern world and themselves as musicians. everyone and their mother (exaggeratedly) has made some version of the song “in the pines,” from lead belly to the kossoy sisters to joan baez to dolly parton to nirvana—and they’re all so wildly and beautifully different. the differences in lyrics and even melody are a clear representation to me of music as an oral tradition, and i think it is so fascinating and amazing to truly think about the ways in which humans share and change art over time. i love people.

i went to see the new broadway production of cabaret this saturday on a complete whim (knowing next to nothing about the show) and i have not been able to stop thinking about it since. what a fun and entertaining yet deeply distressing experience— the intentional, immersive atmosphere brought me (almost blindly…) into the story. i found myself entranced in the hypnotizing world of the kit kat club, then immediately brought out of it by certain impactful moments; the feeling that i was a part of the show in a way made these moments hit me hard, and at times i felt my stomach drop as i was faced with nauseating reality. it can be so easy to move on with your life as though issues affecting others don’t affect you. as my friend lewin put it, it takes effort and a conscious choice not to become evil. if you don’t actively think in opposition to something, you are as good as enabling it— and i intend to treat my own moral views and opinions with more intentionality going forward.
not to mention, i saw this performance immediately after attending a protest against the current trump regime, and the themes of complicity in 1930s germany felt all too relevant to the politics of today. in all, a striking and upsetting, yet somehow incredibly entertaining, show that i feel will stick with me for a while. also, a very queer show. beautiful.
