bands aren't monuments or institutions. they are beautiful, lucky, temporary clusters of human people, bonded by some mysterious chemistry that is bigger, more special, and more resonant than the sum of its parts.

I’m surprised how undervalued good taste is considering its scarcity

virtual things still cost lots of real resources to create and host

especially games and media

a used book or a piece of furniture has a much smaller impact on our environment

imagine if the phone company could be like “oh that’s not how we do phone numbers anymore after the latest update"

When you collect an artist’s work you are collecting art but you are also buying the artist TIME which they use to work, experiment, improve.

the best projects i’ve ever done have

— surfaced naturally with friends or I made them

— created magic for others to cocreate or participate in

— been with dream teams of aligned humans, mostly friends

— given me faith in people, art, and the alchemic power of collaboration

[Anna Bulbrook @annabulbrook]

@from_shruti YES, that, too

[Anna Bulbrook @annabulbrook]

poor things is a masterpiece

every shot, every performance, every line of dialogue, every moment of truth in the macabre yet innocent humor

I like experimental music *and* think Dancing Dogs is serotonin-forward entertainment that maybe shouldn’t be missed

wrote a tutorial about crying for this book because @brandonstosuy asked me to — and it’s in this beautiful compendium of tears

@hudsonsims exactly

[Anna Bulbrook @annabulbrook]

need a term for things done in private with questionable aesthetics that are not for public sharing

[Anna Bulbrook @annabulbrook]

@nickducoff that's so healthy

this is more in the realm of g-rated activities that violate your aesthetic system like participating in a sport with notoriously dorky gear

[Anna Bulbrook @annabulbrook]

@hudsonsims yes! I like 'dark mode'

[Anna Bulbrook @annabulbrook]

@jonasoppenheimo ha! I meant more like when you break your aesthetic code to enjoy/do something that you never, ever, ever want to see on the 'gram

less rough draft, more incognito mode
