welcome to the Dread Hour! basically every night your brain is gonna spin a roulette wheel to determine whether you will go to sleep or travel straight to the Bad Zone

important context: it was 60%+ humidity and over 35 degrees in at least half of these photos. i am almost certainly dying inside for most of this

i thought it would be funny to take a selfie with every single mascot i saw in taiwan. it became less funny when i discovered there's a fucking million of them

cooking with a little mortal danger thrown into the mix is normal and exciting

Yeah its just unreal background music. I've been enjoying strutting around the airport to Eric B and Rakim

i know a lot of this has little to do with jazz, they were just sampling breaks on jazz records as the fills are unreal on them

ryan @cybreco.bsky.social · 8d

gonna try and do a deep dive into 90s boom bap / jazz influenced hip hop. i completely missed this era and don't know much about it so it sounds fun and playful instead of overplayed. welcome any recs

Even valium cannot release me

It's like a little digital tether. It is funny when travelling how much you realise your ability to withstand the unfamiliar is just being able to google your way through uncertainty. I miss the days of backpacking without any mobile data. No idea how I did that

That's an undeniable 10 for me

If you are over 30 and your eyes scream for the release of slumber, hit me up

I used to think I wasn't really into guys similar to my own type, but now I'm slowly becoming a middle aged man who constantly looks tired, maybe I am hot by the my own twisted standards after all

I will try not to contract leukaemia on this final leg of my journey, not sure if CoverMore will comp that

the most gibsonesque thing about all of this is the immense and unnervingly primal drive i have right now to protecting my laptop's battery life at all costs

the barista is kind of hot though

ryan @cybreco.bsky.social · 8d

10+ hour manila airport layover. my body wants to return to the soil. i have ordered five hot chocolates from filipino starbucks. the only hint of human connection is the barista who frowns at me for camping their one power plug for hours. which bodily function will fail first

You don't say! I ran into some missionaries the other day. There are noticeably more big churches in Kaohsiung, or at least I am noticing more

lord give me the strength to survive another week of eating nothing but fried food in asia. everything is fried, sweet, caffeinated, saucy. my insides beg for death
