[someone make that cha cha slide remix, ty]

after over 3 weeks of seeming to go backwards (like why?!), mercury stations direct today!

and i’m probably in the minority when I say that, on the whole, it’s been good for me. it probably helped that mercury has been hanging out in pisces. (feel free to hate me for this): the trains had never been kinder to me and that’s just one light (but impt!) example of feeling in sync with the things.

but when the sun shifted to #ariesszn, this ease started to crumble a bit. all the bumps in the road became super present & annoying where they had faded into background noise easily in prior weeks.

so the easy narrative might be that this big sun shift was a small test on how the patience and smoothness I had found in the dailyness of tryna be (feel free to stop reading, like now lol). idk if I ‘passed’ if this was the thing

an even cheesier thread to surface is how these big/small/medium shifts are putting in sharper relief my attunements to myself, the things near me, and everything else that revolves around me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ;) ;) ;)

light a fire y’all, it’s Aries season!

can’t fix the system by telling people what to do

• when money advice is worthless b/c money’s broken, Talia Jane

• and queer eye is cute, but like toxic, lazy masculinity is boring, Hazel Cills

some book thoughts

• Katy Waldman on YA books and cancel culture

• (speaking of) Ani Bundel on J.K. Rowling’s endless retcon’s ugh

• and just finished Chemistry by Weike Wang, which reminded me in some ways of So Many Olympic Exertions by Anelise Chen, which I read last year. Read Larissa Pham’s quick drawing of parallels on failure between the two in a longer response to Severance by Ling Ma (previously s/o’d in this slushie)

goodbye march 🔥🔥
