FYI, this was an actual streetlamp in Wrocław, Poland. Local services removed the overgrowth because apparently nearby people had trouble sleeping with this by their windows.
when I say something nice about my mom and someone mentions their mom traumatizing them. who the fucj asked. how would you feel if you said you had a fun day fishing with your dad and I told you how my dad got so many restraining orders against him

it’s pretentious but I think there’s so much value in learning 2 be okay with boredom as part of art
like some movies are slow as shit and kind of boring and that’s not a bad thing… some art is extremely simple and the viewer does most of the interpretive heavy lifting and that’s okay… sit in it 4 a while think on it folks
when I was a kid you had to do the charlie the unicorn voice whether you liked it or not. you had to say candy mountain charlieeee in the voice. not like these days
i think it is very depressing that like every aesthetic people try to emulate are of people doing things but they themselves are incapable of being somebody that does things… the mall goth 2005 aesthetic revived in 2022 but nobody goes to the mall to be annoying and weird and nobody lets themselves be cringe… the cottagecore aesthetic but nobody knows how to raise gardens or live self sufficiently … the dark academia aesthetic but nobody actually reads books…. The obsession of looking like you are a type of person who does something without actually doing anything … the Instagram effect
The more I read about folk medicine the more angry I am with how modern day health care trains doctors to interact with patients. There are multiple words in different cultures that all at once address the mental, physical and spiritual distress being experienced by an individual. Words that can only be understood from the view point, and lived experience, of someone who was raised in that culture…but most modern medicine is not equipped to handle these kind of cultural concepts of “illness” and therefore at best tries to place them into categories they don’t fit in or, at worst, outright disregards them as backwards; thus completely invalidating both the patient’s distress and culture in the process.
In essence, the experience of illness is informed by culture.
In essence, poets have understood for centuries what modern medicine cannot.
We all sit and talk about the beauty of language and culture and how the word for ‘love’ does not have the same root, or direct meaning from one nation to another- and yet, we expect the world to have the same understanding of “pain”?
