i love you visible brushstrokes. i love you glue warped scrapbook pages. i love you awkward poems. i love you junk journal with faded receipts. i love you poorly composed journal layout. I love you unintentionally blurry photographs. i love you asymmetrical beading. i love you curling freeform crochet. i love you fingerprints on pottery. i love you reused materials. i love you improvised instruments. i love you mistakes. i love you bravery to make it anyway. i love you creativity that hasn't been wiped clean of every drop of humanity and sanitized and commodified.

I love how, even in his post AvX, fugitive from SHIELD and the law, "I live in Weapon X's old prison cells" edgelord in a nervous breakdown glory, Scott's main priority is the well-being of his kid.

Go commit some intergalactic crimes, boys. You deserve it.

Do you think Charles ever sat Scott down and said: "Listen, I know I may have set a bad example here, so it's completely normal if you're confused about this, but just because I have a bad relationship, with a mental unstable man with grey morals I pretend to hate but actually love and fuck nasty, doesn't mean you have to."

Thinking about how when I first watched justified I had the dreaded thought of, "Oh, my god, is he gonna be one of those male main characters that constantly has women falling for him?"

The answer was yes but also Raylan's kind of stupid all he knows is wear cowboy hat, be asshole, and shoot people

On one hand I understand not teaching cursive in school anymore, because it actually is slower than regular handwriting and almost everything is typed on a keyboard now anyways.

On the other hand, so much of our (even recent!) history was written in cursive, and having a whole generation of kids who can't read letters written by their grandparents, momentos saved by their great-grandparents, or even photo albums from theur immediate family seems like a dangerously quick way to detach us from previous generations.

And on the third, related but slightly malformed hand, I feel bad that yet another form of small, everyday art that brings joy in the middle of mundane tasks, which celebrates personality and individual style and self-expression, is about to fade into obscurity because it wasn't efficient enough for today's world to put up with.

Like... if we continue to whittle away the small arts out of every day life, what's going to be left except stark, ruthless pragmatism?

Maybe writing a grocery list is less mundane when you get to feel elegant for a moment. Maybe you're a little more proud of what you write when you see it flow together like a painting
