@matchakeikeu physical ALWAYS, I don't know why I don't have the motivation to read digital :(

can’t choose, will choose both 🤭

A guided journaling workshop last night gave me an existential crisis

On the male gaze by “Ways of Seeing” by John Berger: “Men act and women appear. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at.”

Evening walks

@crowzenik I'm not sure if this is up your alley but I started reading Monstrilio, its a literary horror. I think i'm in for a ride haha
