I started learning music theory and have become convinced it’s mostly magic. Look at this Circle of Fifths and tell me it’s not for conjuring ghosts* from the depths of our souls! *feelings, emotions, the like

@tiffani Yes!!! Busses and Metro. I 💖 public transportation — even though LA loves to test that love — and don’t easily entrust my life to strangers trying to navigate the I-10

Hella people have been shocked I like riding the bus in LA and tend to take the bus more than Uber. I really enjoy just sitting here watching the city zoom by and it’s cheap. I will never be too bougie to ride (except when I need the time).

@AliceAvizandum I cannot handle this

Depeche Mode in LA 🖤🖤🖤

This is a spectacular thread coming on the heels of this week’s IPCC climate report. It highlights which countries pushed back on what topics. The goal was to keep the planet habitable but the focus is still on keeping the planet profitable

The trails are so lush after all these LA rains! 💚

@ninjatune @Youngfathers All the tracks! But if I have to choose I still have to pick two: In My View and Toy 🎶🎶🎶

@MilesKlee It’s undoubtedly TO DIE FOR!

@WellenJudith Cheers. And I would love to hear about THAT story! 🤩

Raising my glas this Sunday to my 18-year-old self set on studying Semiotics with Umberto Eco in #Bologna. Life took other turns, but every time I‘m here I feel so lucky to experience its brilliance in academia (and cuisine). To #trusting your #instincts, people! 😘💪

Should I order cos play elf ears and wear them while hiking for sun protection?

Look, so pretty! 🌳🌳 #twintrees

They remind me of the sisters in The Simpsons #twintrees

I have become obsessed with these twin trees in my neighborhood 🌳🌳

Learned that Damon Albarn (Blur, Gorillaz, etc.) had 50 bikes stolen. If you read this: Please start locking them! — Anyway, this is a gorgeous interview with a consummate musician 🎶 youtu.be/EDX6l9_58RA
