rain

you were so yellow, so crispy
translucence befell you in the harsh sunlight
a shell of your former self, a ghost
and then the rain came, in buckets
and you prospered, now nourished
green again, so green
grass

weird

divs divs divs divs divs divs divs divs

vacation

i am off the grid
free from the shackles of manufactured problems
i left it all behind
i can see the ocean
i can see the sky
i can hear the birds
i can smell the trees
i am becoming the clean breeze
my osmosis
is nourishing
i am photosynthesising
i am free

weird

it is possible to trick the brain’s binocular vision

a woman stares in delight into her internet computer machine

and she is writing a newsletter
she has collected four links she would like to share with you
her hair is slightly dishevelled, but it doesn’t matter
she is getting it cut today
she wonders if she will get her usual, or ask for something a little different
only time will tell
she intersperses her creative composition with sips of a half-drunk home-made almond milk cappuccino
she is filled with a sense of excitement at her upcoming vacation
it is raining outside, but it doesn’t matter
she is calm today, she feels accomplished
and she can’t wait to press send

weird

let go of your attachment to breathable air

too much water

i am sorry i drowned you
in your sorrows
and watched helplessly as you turned pale green
then yellow
then brown
i willed you to recover
but we wanted different things
into the green bin with you
aloe, goodbye

weird

merge

extraction

and so with great force the tooth was ripped from the gum
in which it had slept for two decades
and while in its sleep it did cast great terrors upon her mouth
she is wounded, but she is victorious
(i swear i heard my skull crack more than once)

weird

the future of web development is

find your tribe

we are all tribal beings, really
deep down
and when you find your tribe
(because you will find your tribe)
hold onto them
nurture them
love them
lift them up
laugh with them
build cool stuff with them
for they will enjoy doing the same

weird

i have no idea what this is but i like it

i have not been scrolling

i have not been scrolling
i have been looking at the trees
i have not been scrolling
i have been listening to the birds
i have not been scrolling
i have been breathing intentionally
i have not been scrolling
i have been moving my body
i have not been scrolling
i have been resting
i have not been scrolling
i have been travelling to see friends
i have not been scrolling

weird

coffee is not breakfast

friends

friends are like plants
give them light
water
dust them off
a little spray
and they will give you life
and take away the bad things
take care of them

weird

guis are the future

i am not an outsider

there are people that tolerate me
there are people that like me
there are people that actively seek out my company
there are people that cheer for me
there are people that love me
there are people that would be sad without me
repeat

weird

clickens

technology is broken

in the airport
airport internet is broken
hot-spotting data from my phone
want to view a website on the wayback machine
no, not allowed
archived materials are for grown ups
(according to my phone plan provider)
my phone plan provider has my date of birth
but now they want real proof of my digits
i enter my passport numbers, yes numbers plural
(the ones with the chevrons?? i had to type the chevrons??)
text message received
"thank you, you might need to wait 24 hours for the changes to take effect"
i quit

weird

get dressed

i wish for you

i see you
and i hope for you
i see you
and i smile for you
i see you
and i want for you
i see you
and i wish for you
i only wish good things for you

weird

this was a different place 14 years ago

hydrate

hydrate
when you are sad
hydrate
when you are tired
hydrate
when you are bored
hydrate
like your life depends on it
hydrate
because it does
hydrate
friend

an annual journal of literature made to exist on the web

object constancy

const object: unknown = {  
  infant: "understands their caregiver exists, even when out of sight",
  child: "maintains a positive view of a parent, even when they are upset",
  adult: "preserves emotional connection with a partner, even when things are weird",
} 

weird

a website that seems to beckon you to explore it

travelling

why is it that when i travel
it takes up all the space in my head
it’s just a short trip
but what if i forget something
what if i get lost
but
what if
i enjoy it?

weird

it's for security

newness

shiny new experiences
bring shiny new feelings
warmth and hope and ambition
and drive
hold on to this
hold on
it’s worth it
and so are you
just drive

weird

the room starts to shimmer at the edges of my vision

the door

i know you feel trapped
sometimes
i know it’s hard
right now
you’re hurting in this room
where all you can do is gaze
out of the window
that’s locked
and dirty
and small
but if there wasn’t a way out
you wouldn’t have found a way in
and sometimes
all you need to do
is turn around
and find the door

weird

look at this

this is me from the past

hello from me from the past
i wrote these words last week

everything is from the past
nothing is from the future
everything is a memory
existing, then fading, then gone

in this moment we are all memories
i am a memory of you
you are a memory of me
we are past
and present
but never future
now

weird

with love to electrical trans sisters

in seven years

who will you be
in seven years?
what will you do
for seven years?
if all that is left
is seven years
what would you change, today?

weird

this is not an actual island

moderate your exposure to bullshit

consume all the stuff that makes you feel joy
share it so others can feel, and bubble
find it again, again, again
again and again
more, still more
now is the time to love, my love
what else do we have?
but this

weird

not all decisions are technical ones

once you start to feel again

we numb ourselves with thinking
and in turn cause physical pain
we numb ourselves with routine
and forget to enjoy the sky
we numb ourselves with indulgence
and scrolling and scrolling and clicking and scrolling and
we numb ourselves for protection
and lose identity and self
and once you start to feel again
that’s when you start to live
and once you start to feel again
and once you start to feel
and once you start
you become

weird

it is now 89 seconds to midnight
