Greatest love story ever told I kid u not
#broad city#i have to this day (5 years after first watching broad city) not watched the final episode#i was 18#had just left nyc after living there for a few months#where i became a person in many ways#and the dynamic between these two reminded me so much of the dynamic between my best nyc friend and i#just seen her for the first time in years and i remembered why i can't watch this episode#something so tragic about such close friendship#but also so lucky to experience it

#let me do this again because it’s fun#reading vonnegut’s cats cradle#and just started a book on the ethics of public policy for my masters (weird saying that)#i’m watching maid! it’s brilliant#and also on episode 2 of succession#last movie i watched was tár on the flight home#and as stated last time i am always doing a little crossword!

in a train right now, i can see the city lights and i feel so so overwhelmed
#i sometimes think about the 7 train in new york and how though it was one of the most trying times of my life#going past the windows made me feel just small enough to forget

L'Manburg, or the beginning of the day and the home you leave behind
Miriam Adeney // Evelyn Waugh // Yizheng Ke // Junot Diaz// Walter Benjamin // Vincent Van Gogh // Anne Carson // Ocean Vuong
#i had no idea that quote was walter benjamin#i remember stumbling across it after living in 3 different countries in the span of a year and thinking of all the people i loved#in new york and sydney and back home#and how i would have to grow to love people in london#and now i have and it’s just the most beautiful thing but his words ring so true still#and now he is my favourite philosopher

#americana#having grown up with a lot of american family with an expat mother who didn’t live in the states past primary school#and the very fact that i call it primary school#means my claim on americana is weak#but i did spend many summers on cape cod#and there is something about that that means whenever i see images of distinctively american landscape#or architecture#it does pull at the heart strings#art
