watched Your Name again but in theatres for its 10th anniversary… I can say it is still as wondrous and beautiful as it was 10 years ago; even more so now.

This is the same reason boomers are so addicted to television. For one moment the outside world ceases to exist and they become the screen.
It's one of many reasons people drink until they black out, stoners zone out into nothing, and depressed people sleep fourteen hours.

I just want you to remember. That we live in a world where octopuses dream, otters have a favorite shell that they carry with them all their lives, cows have best friends, and bees have different "dialects" of dance depending on the region. Cats purr at a frequency that accelerates bone healing, the forest grows flowers first after a fire, and dolphins give each other names and respond to them. Penguins make proposals by giving each other the most beautiful pebble

I'll have prints available for this one linked in my bio for a few days only.
