when you hear someone play a song. that is a breathing organism. an organic composition both fragile and resilient. born of equal parts love and pain. in each vibration expressed from their instrument is a trillion memories and a universe of senses. a holy noise

do and make and feel until the day your body screams to be released from its form. don’t you dare stop… until your time itself stops. why else would you even be here?

let the robots play. let them feel. and oh will they feel. but never stop living yourself. never stop feeling. cling to your flesh and blood. relish the goosebumps and the chills and butterflies.

ai will be capable of more and more. but does that matter to you? flesh of the earth? will you still sing? will you still dance? will you let the soul of a machine rob your own of the beauty of being alive? your one chance at being aware in the abyss?

the wild thing is he used to be on board with me. i had him liking vanilla-extract but then i watched him become “tailwind pilled” in real time while he was working on a spike like am i just not open minded enough? why can’t i experience that same epiphany?

merl 🌳 @merl.is · 01/05/2025
trying so hard not to just be a “tailwind sucks” hater… i’ve just been wired to write design tokened css (css-modules, vanilla-extract, styled-components) i guess this is just where modern web dev finally leaves me behind

Simple neuroscience-based hack for anxiety: 🌿go & be in a place with plants & trees for 15 mins 🌳You'll inhale plant oils(phytoncides) from foliage 📉your stress hormone(cortisol) will drop significantly Many of our brain pathways evolved to motivate us to forage for plants-they're still very active

the fires are no joke right now. the county is on fire east to west. lots of my favorite trails are toast, friends are evacuating or ready to go tonight. the air smells like smoke and its silently raining ash. feels like 2020 all over again. a strange omen.
