For reasons known only to adolescent girls my friend Kate and I started communicating with extremely loud calls of, “Ka-kaw!” at some point during high school.

When trying to locate each other on the quad in lieu of cell phones we made do with good old fashioned screeching. The first call was always a lower tone. When one of us heard the cry we’d immediately echo it back at a higher pitch like dinosaurs playing Marco Polo.

This was probably obnoxious for all our classmates but man did we zero in on each other right quick. It was great. I never had to look for her in a huge crowd I just had to unleash my lack of social decorum in sonic waves. My only defense was that we only used it for out of doors. We weren’t monsters.

It served us extremely well the one time we went skiing together. She was a newer skier and got off the ski lift before I did after a stroke of bad luck and poor planning on our parts. By the time I had my skis on the snow I couldn’t see her. Worried, I took off down the mountain, not spotting her.

I planted my skis when I realized I must have passed her somehow. She couldn’t have made the same time as me. I threw my head back and shrieked, “Ka-kaw!!”

The sound cut across the cold thin air, sharp and carrying. To my delight and the surprise of several snowboarders going past me there was an answering “Ka-kaw!!!” from further up the mountain, reverberating joyously.

I’ve had this turkey post pinged several times, I can only say that I’m glad my friend and I aren’t the only bird girls out there.

Move along, nothing to see here. Just blizzards in Florida + record snowfall in Mississippi and Louisiana + climate change.

Friendly reminder to not punish yourself for creating.

My random pet peeve that would not be worth ever arguing with anyone about is how people talk about being able to see/feel the passion that went into something.

It's very possible to passionately create something that sucks! Something that's shallow and uninteresting and unimpressive! I've done it before and so can you!

It's also extremely possible for someone with more resources or experience or time to churn out something truly great (not only polished, but also varied and unique and maybe even groundbreaking) while just showing up for a paycheck.

In my place of origin, we harbor no concerns regarding the rather extravagant cannabis cultivars emblematic of the Californian aesthetic, if you will. My roots lie in Scranton. The substance I am currently consuming is, indeed, of inferior quality. Let us establish this clearly. It is purely an unrefined brick-like product. The truth of the matter is that, within the United States, there exists a populace that desires to partake in such rudimentary cannabis. Should one approach an individual and proclaim, "I shall offer you an ample quantity of this superior-grade cannabis in exchange for your collection of mid-quality products," they are likely to respond with indignation, exclaiming, "Come now, good sir! Remove thyself from my presence!" Indeed, such a reaction is entirely predictable. We have a preference for stems! We have an affinity for seeds! Such are the inclinations where I hail from.

dear usamerican high schoolers looking for a way to resist fascism: sit through the pledge of allegiance.

no getting up. no looking at the flag.

everyone will be looking at you. you'll be sweating like a fucking hippopotamus. your teacher will sternly tell you to get up. you'll feel stupid and that maybe its not worth it because you're just a kid in a classroom. but I'm here to remind you that there are no real life consequences to detention. there are however real life consequences to resisting a thoughtless performance of nationalism.
