Coat-checking my phone for the privilege of seeing Black Panther two days early (braggedy brag brag)...and then pondering the pros and cons of being phoneless in 2018 and the startup that’s made that its business.
Finding a whole lotta beauty in plastic, latex, and foam.

Feeling extremely fancy ℅ a Farmgirl Flower subscription gifted to me by Erica. Bountiful-but-minimal blooms show up at my door once a month like magic.
