two things

how do you feel about hydration? i feel pretty good about it. these last two months it's all i can think about. some of the things i find hydrating are: raisins, electrolyte water, bananas and coconut water (for a long time i would get these severe headaches that would begin in my shoulder and move to my head--i would get sick and have to go to sleep. but. guess what i found out--coconut water makes them go away--i think they are a result of dehydration). now i just keep hydrating all the time. it's basically all i do now.

and the new hlr is out:

here is an example, from rhiannon dickerson, of everything beautiful inside it:


Map of Antarctica


In the world of places, I am a thing. Some days I dress up like myself and talk to hear how I sound.
I narrate my movements to the places I go. I’m in the bathtub being a whale, I say to the bathroom.
I sound official. When things get too real, I pull out a map and memorize place names. I hang the
map on the wall and step into it. I become Antarctica. It is cold there.


the other beautiful people are:
