Day 3 of the rest of our lives
I’ve gotten quite settled into the routine already. I almost wait for the clock to strike somewhere approximately near 6PM pacific standard time to do my nurse duties of administering two pills in pill pockets and 0.2ml…
Luck
My Chinese name 巧 means something along the lines of a lucky coincidence or skillful. I carry this name with pride because it must mean lucky things are always coming my way. But…how come my high school…
The most magical things that’s happened this month (September 2025)
As my frontal lobe develops, I am iterating the importance of finding everything important. This month, I will attempt to begin a practice of noting them by the month. I hope to stop being so much of…
T.g.i.f.
The last things I have written down in my notes app are Belgium (bold) Berlin (regular). I’ve been letting people around me speculate where I should spend the rest of my life. I can totally see you…
Brown sugar grapefruit
Is bell hooks the reason for every artist writing their name in lower capitalization? That thought isn’t particularly related to grapefruits, but it did make me think about how I wanted to capitalize the words of this…
The diagnosis
My apartment has been leaking for a good month now. It began as innocent drips that I thought was built up condensation that later turned into mold-growing-wall-bending flooding. I used every blanket to soak up the murk,…
A quest for earnesty
As we walked up the Baldwin Hills trail, my best friend tells me to watch a reel. I say something along the likes of, “baby, let’s look outside”! But she says, “this is poignant and signficant”. So…
24
I turned 24 24 hours 2 hours and 57 minutes ago. By the end of this post, it will be 3 hours and some time. It feels especially important to mark this moment in time, because I…
My summer slumber
Last summer, I read My Days of Rest and Relaxation for the first time. Shocker, because someone that looks like me should be able to recite the scripture of sad women worldwide like the back of my…
Boredom
Today is my first day back at work after my journey across the world. I spent the majority of my days since returning from my trip doing a bit of nothing. I did my usual abandonment of…
It’s not the dance music that will save us, it’s having no ___ that will kill us
The word that follows no is left blank because I began listing off a number of things that ticked me off about the current “creative production” and “artistry”. No, I’m not done beating the dead horse. Why?…
Television, the Lena Dunham pill, and the absurd years
In the seventh or eighth grade, my dad told me I should watch Girls. Obsessed with the lesbian criminal fantasy of Orange Is the New Black, I found the girls poster to be the least bit intriguing.…

I feel like shit, and I’m laying on my couch without a shirt on. I find some solace in feeling this way, knowing I used to feel some semblance of this every day. Last night, I stayed…
Everything is shit except my friendship with you
A split second ago, I thought about this song. I think my friend Camille sent it to me when we were in high school. Lately, I’ve been going through the most drastic friendship changes. My life feels…
Love Island USA made me contemplate on plasticity
I watched a singular episode of love island USA with my neighbors yesterday. That was cute, shoutout to the girls upstairs…<3 I like the concept of love island or something generally consumerist like Barbieheimer or White Lotus…
My Morning Instagram Musings
Want to see your local sex offender’s list? Go check out the party photography of The Hellp’s event. I actually cannot deny The Hellp’s imact on culture. I can’t even lie, I really like California Dream Girl.…
Why I stopped being a painter
It wasn’t until earlier this year that I dropped the schtick that I am a painter, first and foremost. Now, I subscribe to the titles of writer, tattoo artist, arts worker first. Also, I am an artist.…
Work Diary
I took the full day shift today. As a person who’s never worked a 5 days a week 9-5 job ever, it takes a lot of patience from me to remain in the same place for a…
The Revolution Will Not Be Aestheticized
After casual banter with my friend about a certain white anarchist who’s casually racist, yet performs activism, was I reminded of the tune of “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”. I actually don’t know much about the…

Hello. I’m not quite sure how to start a blog as everything we do these days feels rather monitored. I just went out to move my car because my Car App told me the rear window was…
Snake Bite Venom
Bite the hand that feeds you until it bleeds dry, cold blooded venom. You’re a serpent and I’m the serpentress. Now that you’re all grown up, you want to run with the big dogs. So I let…
Normal Salaried Person
What is actually so wrong about indulging in the mundanity of every day? In some ways, I wanted to be troubled so some of this feels justified. That I’d earned my place. In a spur moment, I…
