I adore plastic eyeballs, and am constantly looking to expand my collection. Other than that, I am an average blogger, given to sloth, caprice, and loquaciousness.

I long for the morning breezes to breathe.
I have my breath but long for someone to tell secrets to.
-Rumi (trans. Brad Gooch & Maryam Mortaz; Unseen Poems)
#I bought a book of translated Persian poetry last year#and I’ve finally got it out of my book bag to read it#I’ve heard most translations lose some of the beauty#it this one claims it’s trying to focus on maintaining some of the original vibes of the Persian#I don’t know enough about Rumi’s poetry to tell#but it’s really very nice#there are some gorgeous lines

Do you play daily NY Times games like Wordle, Connections, Spelling Bee, or Strands? The NYT Tech Guild workers who make those games possible are currently ON STRIKE and asking you to not cross the digital picket line.
Spread the word! For other ways to help, you can also contribute to their strike fund here.
#oh good to know#wordle is a bit passé but I still play it sometimes#so I guess I’m off that until the contract is signed

rb this and tell me what ur accent is. this has no purpose except the fact i just realized i could have like... mutuals with cockney accents or newfoundland accents or something and thats just wild
#I think I sound Californian all the way#a friend’s husband confirmed he hears it— a downward inflection at the end of most sentences that’s very California#and I agree— more SoCal drawl-y version of the American movie accent#but sometimes people ask?#when I’m tense/nervous it shifts closer to something like a movie transatlantic accent— an American version of posh#when I’m being sardonic it’s a bad impression of Minnesota/Wisconsin-ish midwestern#not often but I’ve had one or two people be like “wait where is your accent from?#once a student was like “wait you’re British?#and I shifted it back from faux-posh to California slowly over the sentence explaining that no I was not#(it was a little unsettling how it drifted closer to normals with each word lol. student’s face was priceless)#and once a friend’s dad just straight up went “wait where is your accent from??#because whoops faux-trans-Atlantic from being nervous about meeting people#but they don’t sound legit to me— they sound like a Californian doing a bad impression 😂

If you're American will you reblog this with where you grew up and wether or not they had sixth grade camp. I grew up in southern California and every class in sixth grade would take a field trip and go to a camp for a week and this is absolutely bewildering my wife cause she's never heard of sixth grade camp
#California#it was fifth grade camp in my school district#it was a great time#I went back there for summer camp after because it was such a good time#the week after I got back I got sick for like 5 days and learned that 102-degree fevers put me to sleep

Heck yeah @handbellanon
@sheoftheeyeballs
#I like this concept#the idea of being a couch friend so there’s very little pretension to a relationship#I’m not good at being that relaxed#so it’s always wonderful when you feel comfortable doing it#@handbellanon is an excellent companion for that

In many US states, this week is your last chance to register for the upcoming election.
Please don’t let this wait. Please go get registered—or if you’re registered already, check your registration to make sure it is still valid. Numerous states have been purging “ineligible voters”: so please doublecheck that you haven’t been purged by mistake
If you’re all set, then please encourage everyone you know to register, or to check their own registrations.
Here’s where to start: Vote.gov

#legit I do not have consumption#but going to the beach for the day is excellent for curing my ills#(mostly because I get to skate and sit in the sand and listen to the waves and be moderately disconnected for a bit)#I suggest giving it a try if you have the time and access to the beach

#city driving is the worst#long-haul road trips are actually the chillest#it’s just you and your little caravan of randos going straight for 5 hours before you stop for gas and to swap drivers#cities are the worst#the traffic and people making questionable maneuvers are the worst#that’s what makes gives me road rage#I drove with a friend who was moving a few states away#and she noted that on the open highway#I was calm and called other cars my friends#and as soon as we hit the suburbs of our destination city#I quickly shifted into Stay Away From Me I Hate All Of You Drivers mode
