    that’s right

    SOUTH

    SAN FRANCISCO

    THE INDUSTRIAL CITY

    pretty nice, always wanted to do that.

    it’s a little 2 mile loop with a steep stepped shortcut up from the bottom to the top. also, you can walk on the letters. also also, if you bring cardboard you can slide on a few of them even.

  4. Haven’t cut my hair in over a year except for one straight DIY shear pass mid-year on the back to de-mullet

    everyone who asks and finds out what I’m doing is all “I couldn’t get through the awkward phase" and I’m all “well, tbh? it’s all awkward, with brief OK phases"

    beat

    also everyone who has ever had long hair when I complain about it: “well you could always cut it off, I don’t regret going that at all" and I’m like “you are right.”

    beat

    so I think I’ll keep growing it out another year

  8. Wanted to read Chekhov but wasn’t sure what translation to look for, learned that Nabokov had a dislike for Constance Garnett, remembered that Nabokov was also on my todo list, started Pnin, and right away, he’s doing the moves, dumping on Garnett 🤗

    photograph of page sixty-something of "Pnin" not Nabokovit reads:He tried habitats of another type: rooms for rent in private houses which, although differing from each other in many respects (not all, for instance, were clapboard ones; a few were stucco, or at least partly stucco), had one generic characteristic in common: in their parlor or stair-landing bookcases Hendrik Willem van Loon and Dr. Cronin were inevitably present; they might be separated by a flock of magazines, or by some glazed and buxom historical romance, or even by Mrs.Garnett impersonating somebody (and in such houses there would be sure to hang somewhere a Toulouse-Lautrec poster), but you found the pair without fail, exchanging looks of tender recognition, like two old friends at a crowded party.

  9. I’m constantly flip flopping things in my imagination and honestly it’s kinda intrusive and annoying but also some people clearly do not and cannot and it’s so weird imaging their world

    the typical stuff:

    looking at a young person and imagining them older, even much older

    seeing an old person and reminding myself that they were once my age, once in high school, or elementary school

    gender presentation alternates

    etc
