iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Does anyone know why drywall dust (ie the byproduct after sanding) smells just like a *dying* body? I caught a whiff of it, and it’s uncanny.

Everytime I open Instagram, one of my friends has reposted something by Anne Carson. My heart sinks because this flood of reposts usually means that an author has died (and I forget momentarily about the Nobel). Internet behavior is so weird.

Reading my dad’s journals (as I not so seldom do). We’re really the same person (angsty and self-important).

"You look like his little twin" is crazy to hear from a urologist.

Y'all aspire to be this close with your parents.

We've lived for so long with this mythology that sure, the wealthy can be cruel. But at least the cruelty has a point. Profit! I'd like us to open our hearts to other possibilities. Power doesn't just corrupt! It can also breed truly reality-distorting levels of incompetence.

I, who put not effort into seeing my boyfriend and exclusively expect him to fly to me, just learned that he's going to Argentina for Christmas instead of seeing me. This is patriarchy at work.

Bookish architecture This huge monument to Sir Henry (d.1630) & Mary Yelverton is squeezed into the east end of the north aisle of Easton Maudit church (Northants). It features a superstructure made from piles of books. Two bedesmen with cushioned heads support the canopy.

Something I think about often is how the reward for promptly responding to emails is receiving more emails.

My best makeup hack (not that I wear makeup often) is buying Chanel Boy and using it as an eyeshadow *and* lipstick.

I wonder if people who think they want to see this will watch it and then realize they didn’t actually want to see it.
