tinkering with: a decorative bike helmet and headdress prototypes
watching: 30-minute documentary mccrea 1971: louisiana’s forgotten rock festival (2018), heklina: a memorial
reading: barkskins - annie proux, back issues of the believer, loving tallulah bankhead - carrie chappell
listening to: s-town
eating: tuna pasta salad
drinking: aura bora herbal sparkly waters, ranch rider’s “the chilton” (canned cocktail)
longing for: stability & certainty
my latest:
playlist: ChamberRealness, for all my fellow peasants, squires, and fair maidens
art: i’ve just finished an illustration commission for the non-profit streetbooks, a “bicycle-powered mobile library for people who live outside.” (donate here). portlanders: if you’re around for pedalpalooza, they’re hosting a ride & ribbon-cutting party on 6/5, where you can pick up one of the posters i designed!
writing: a few things in the hopper are due out this summer, but ICYMI honey literary’s valentine’s issue published one of my poems alongside some of the brightest writers i admire (my favorite/most resonant: this one)
keep on keepin’ on,
rhienna
