I play guitar so I can’t ever have my nails done. I really like how an acrylic set looks, but I think having them on triggers some weird OCD stuff and they’re expensive af to upkeep. Also the lack of plastic finger pokies makes me better at digging in the dirt for mushrooms and sEx.

I'm bad at keeping track of the cyclical tasks like cutting your nails so I always cut them really short and then let them grow out for weeks until I cut them again. But the transition from long nails to very short is so so satisfying to me. My hands feel so functional and like my own. I like typing without feeling my nails. Being able to do things with my hands without subconsciously worrying / being aware of my nails. It's just a beautiful feeling, childishly joyful in some type of way.

I used to be a compulsive nail biter, and I wanted to stop but needed a creative way to do it. So I decided to make them an art project. It helps me not bite them because I don’t want to ruin all the hard work I’ve done. I have to keep up with them and sharpen them about once a week. It also makes it easier to open packages, which is great.

I’ve since relapsed —but as a compulsive nail biter my entire life, I got my first manicure this past winter and for the first time in my life my nails looked presentable. the clear polish is nice like a worry stone for me, satisfying the same urge that biting did—it’s a nice thing to do for yourself every 3 weeks or so I’ve discovered.

My friend Ash Lukashevsky @ashluka has been screen printing and selling these fire “I Hate A Neutral Ass Bitch” tank tops. 100% of IHANAB tanks will go to her friend Mohamed in g@z@ to his Iftar project, where he has been distributing water and dates to his community.

I love smelling things in the forest or at the beach. It literally makes me feel high sometimes because it is so pleasurable. I think the sense of smell is supremely underrated and underdeveloped in humans. I really feel like an animal most of the time, so I feel like it’s important to rely on/enjoy my sense of smell like any other form of stimulation/data-collecting. I also have a VERY keen sense of smell.

I love to forage for edible mushrooms, but I also just love learning and identifying as many different species as possible. You begin to recognize certain phenotypes like spore bearing surface, gill attachment, cap morphology, etc and begin to recognize individual species or genera like old friends. They are like magical aliens, except they’re literally on our planet- literally right under our noses.
