@brolin thank u! im pretty sure i don't have any physical effects from the crash but ill keep that in mind :)
@bbybluet i loved meshuggah! cozy is the perfect word to describe it :) (also i v much resonate with not wanting to wear a bra in zoom meetings...like that's half the point of having the meetings on zoom)
@idi flounder IN the city
@ztbd thank u !! im really excited for the next one ! i had work at 6 the next day so i had to leave pretty early for this past one but what i saw was v cool :)
@punkreflex totally understand the post-bath sleepiness and am excited to talk more abt this :)
@punkreflex i understand what u mean about feeling sociable in waves. i feel like ill get a couple weeks where i want to go out all the time and i feel social, and then ill retreat to the hole of my bedroom for a couple weeks and fall out of the groove. i used to get really mad at myself when my body wanted to be alone, but recontextualizing it as building a relationship with myself was v freeing. ur routines of swimming, reading, etc sound like that to me. much to think about
@idi im just now getting into them! i will listen to go down softly right now #goodband
@uncle-altoid i <3 fetch the bolt cutters
@idi love the "100% goof" line in your ratemyprofessor
@idi yes it's shakespeare in the park! :D let's meet up there!
@idi im glad that the muscle scrunching is helpful and seeing you read your poetry rocked so hard! do it again asap
@punkreflex im so sorry about your friend passing away. let me know if you need anything.
@moldgold222 real. cars suck (also jfc i hope you're ok, that sounds awful)
@idi im glad that it's relatable and im sorry that it's relatable. learning how to accept that you are worthy of taking up space is rlly hard. i wish you the best too :) and it's interesting that we both have anxious grandmas. i think a lot about how much harder it must've been growing up in the 50s and 60s with social anxiety, esp since women were taught to not take up space so much more explicitly & therapy was so much more stigmatized. it's difficult to watch though. i hope your grandma finds a way to break out of her shell :(
@idi poem for the long necked bottle is insanely good. emotional in class over it atm
@em ive definitely gained weight in the past year or two too and it's hard to teach urself to separate self worth and health (for me they were v intertwined!) so i feel you. sometimes i write super angsty poetry abt it and it helps.
@ztbd ill check out that interview -- it sounds v cool! but yeah, i feel like it's rlly easy to think of art as linear and as a pursuit of a product, when i feel like the process of making art is often a lot different. a really good poet i knew in college kept little snippets of poetry in a journal and would frankenstein them into whatever they were writing, sometimes months after originally writing them. this train of thought also makes me think about my second favorite etymology fun fact-- that "amateur" comes from the word "amore," to do something because you love it.
@ poets - on - flounder: i'm reading your poetry and it's expanding my brain and i love all of it !
@big-green-girl i love ur poetry sm. v moving
@mothbaby honestly trauma being kept between the shoulder blades isn't the most out-there theory ive seen... there's one person on tiktok who said that if u can't lose weight and have tried *everything* then that's trauma trapped in the body. and ofc you have to pay for her $49.99 a month educational videos to get the trauma out
@bugleague i think four toes on one foot could be cool. have u seen the movie about the irish (or maybe scottish?) ppl and one of them keeps chopping off his fingers? i can't remember the name of it tho
