reminder

nobody knows what a horse looks like
kristin lueke

it's a simple trick, really. i say this out loud, then sit back and watch the horse drawings roll in. when i die, they'll find them all gathered in a box beneath my bed. beautiful, monstrous, not-horse looking things i called into existence. now you tell me who i ought to believe in.

Kyle Beachy @kylebeachy.bsky.social · 2d

we're not a week removed from k and i sitting around, kinda high, and her sort of yeah-suring that she'd come if Rush ever somehow miraculously toured again.

Kyle Beachy @kylebeachy.bsky.social · 2d

blessed to have lived a life such that several parties are currently sending me news of the rush shows next year.

having committed jean valentine's door in the mountain to memory i am ready to ruin some parties. invite me to your autumnal festivities, i'll bring pumpkin spice horchata and a very specific, mostly sweet though undeniably maudlin vibe that will haunt your friends for days

RIP Kaleb Horton

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee.
You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

Let me tell you, the number of times where having For Grace After a Party by Frank O'Hara memorized has come in handy is less than five but it sure is more than zero.

Heather Christle @heatherchristle.bsky.social · 17d

If you memorize a poem you will have it with you in an emergency.

You could add that to your list.
