hello I got a bit carried away and made an entire book for this email. click here to watch me read it aloud to you for the full experience

the cover (bookbinding slay)

the main reason this is a collage is because I wanted to avoid drawing a horse. shoutout to the htsi magazine for containing lots of pictures of horses. one of them is actually a rare polka-dotted baby zebra but shh don’t tell anyone

in other news,

thrifted this shirt I'm obsessed with it

okay that’s enough of my physical form. I went inside a peranakan tile store. they always have such fun colour combos

this one too, it’s not very comfortable but I forgive it

made some aubergine risoni. or eggplant orzo. however you want to say it

books

I didn’t finish any books this week! working my way through a 700 page monstrosity.

music

some songs I’ve had on repeat:

  • Real House - Adrianne Lenker 
    this album had me on the floor sobbing from the first song

  • symptom of life - WILLOW
    I’ve been sleeping on willow! I thought she was just another nepotism baby with access to a microphone but no she’s legit

  • Sisotowbell Lane - Joni Mitchell
    joni is back on spotify! the dark days are over! here’s a favourite from her first album. it makes me feel like I’m gazing out the window in my cottage in the english countryside (manifesting)

  • Jean - Hovvdy
    this song has the same title as this email. it is a good song. it has very satisfying production. the snare is so crunchy.

you can reply directly to this email! thank you to everyone who did last week. I love receiving emails almost as much as I love sending them. tell me what your favourite page of the book was. or your least favourite if you’re feeling hateful and bitter today.

thanks for reading to the end :) see you next week
