This is so good. Yes to how we became and lived! as people w/o computers in our pockets. And when we made our own algorithms, slowly building finding and Halleluiah to the recognition when we found some souls whose language we recognized. I think I watched all of Pink Flamingos with my jaw on the floor. Definitely changed me for the better! And when he was in town for an event, I passed him early morning (walk of shame early) and we were wearing (to my eyes, anyway) the same black thrifted trench (the 80s)! I said a too cheerful Hi!! and practically skipped the rest of the way to work (brunch opening, ofcourse). Pieces of ourselves for sure. Your reasons for taking trips feel like the best reasons. Glad you went! And saw! And claimed/reclaimed!
“the weirdos always find the other weirdos, for survival, for support, for inspiration. A gift.” ❤️ the best things in life are the weirdos, the non-normative. This made my day.
I’ve been thinking a lot about John Waters and how we attribute what we see today as hyper progressive as the TikTok youth but really it’s all Cry Baby and Pink Flamingos.

I randomly have a Myopic Books t-shirt because I also love it! (And Spoonbill is the best bookstore in NYC to me!!!)
This made me happy on a Monday. Thank you!!
