#VIBECHECK 1

!!! the vibe has arrived

Disclaimer #1:

my #VIBECHECKS will only consist of what is in the current vibe. Insisting certain things are no longer the vibe/fads only creates shame, and operating from shame is not productive. 

Disclaimer #2:

!!! i am a hypocrite so if I go against my own rule, do not be surprised.

1. eating raw onion - preferably red, but yellow works too 

2. NEON PINK, GREEN & YELLOW

3. Babyxsosa

4. showing your likes on instagram - are you guys okay? you soft #snowflakes need to get help.

   no but seriously this is a larger conversation about embarrassment and cringeness. not everything is embarrassing, no one cares about you that much to see if your posts flop and if they do, consider that flattery

5. microdosing full cream milk

6. reading theory for leisurely purposes
   while I was pursuing my initial degree, I found it virtually impossible to read in my free time, let alone read essays, papers or theory. I see the value in it now, and from an academic standpoint I am very interested in sexuality, sensuality, pleasure, taboo and power. And in a strange round about way I think theory has largely influenced my art and my world view. I am going to leave below a paper by Audre Lorde, which is short and digestible compared to other dense material I have clawed my way through
   Audre Lorde - Uses of Erotic

7. courtship

11. documentation

    I have never been good at keeping a diary or holding onto to old photos (I know there is probably a reason for that, but i am unable to figure out just exactly why that is). and as i get older, my memory is filled with more and more holes. I am not a reliable narrator of my own life, i struggle to identify the person i was, so who is to say the person i am now is any better or worse. for that very reason, I have made a vow to myself to document my life as much as I can and not just document but also systematically store. I will probably forget, but it’s the thought that counts. I think that’s why I am making a habit out of this, why I have kept art that i think is bad instead of tearing it, why I am excited to finally have a digital camera in my hands and why I have kept over 300 unfinished thoughts in my notes app. Because one day I will muster up the courage to sit with those words again, to live in those fragmented memories and find them a home. and maybe, just maybe have at least 5 realised thoughts.

12. this cap that i am thinking of buying

    

    !!!! if any of yall snatch it up before me i will rip my hair out - this is a warning not a threat. #trichotiliomania

13. intellectualising things that do not need intellectualising 

14. #horny_rap

    my bestie coined the term (if any of yall comment that the phrase has been around, i am going to blissfully ignore it)
    There is nothing like singing along to some of the most horny lyrics. It takes a certain level of genius to make this lyricism feel romantic and I think Sahbabii and Tisakorean are some of the best minds at this.
