i'm literally writing this so i can send it out on Beyoncé's birthday and my priorities are obviously in the best order.
consider this:
for 9/4/18
i'm working on:
- creating a trans/nonbinary syllabus for myself. i'm trying to come to myself in a way i've been avoiding for a long time: what i have so far is peoms from sympathetic, awkward monster by cameron awkward-rich, this article from vivek shraka, poems from if they come for us by fatimah asghar
- using cold turkey to get work done (its working! i got 1000+ words written for a project yesterday! in short: a miracle!)
- writing a poem about trans/nonbinary shit (also a miracle!)
this has successfully helped me procrastinate:
- be the cowboy by mitski
- forgiving myself for still needing to work on things (special thanks to this article about games)
- the wnba semi-finals (i should be rooting for mystics but i have too much of a crush on the atlanta dream)
- game night turned out to be 900x more hilarious than i ever imagined
- i watched cloverfield ten years later than everyone else (i watched the sequels first cause im in love w mary elizabeth winstead) and im hyped as shit
i'm thankful for:
- the series finale of adventure time, come along with me, which made me bawl and is up there with hey! arnold's series finale in terms of my personal rubric for perfection
- someone once told me to listen to here comes a thought from steven universe when im anxious and it helps a lot
- noname's next album comes out this month!
- friends, friends, i have so much love in my life even when i feel like shit and i cannot believe it, i cannot believe it
scattered notes:
- i finally quit my job! i knew losing any kind of financial security would feel terrible but i kind of underestimated this. but onward!
