Violate the dress code

So here's a thing!

In the streets of Providence this morning, Tuesday and I found these cards lying mysteriously on the ground.


Image Description:A deck of a hundred blue and purple cards each with a question on it.

They seem to be some sort of "getting to know you" game, probably aimed at tweens. Tuesday didn't want them, I don't particularly want them either but having picked up the litter I now want to make art out of it. Here's my concept!

If you get me your address¹, I will write it in my rolodex. I will select 1-5 cards. I will mail them to you, in an envelope, with my return address in the corner! All I ask is that you someday answer at least one of the questions in a way I see it².

Your deadline is "eventually". I will send cards to people until I run out of cards or get distracted (but I think I can guarantee sending them to anyone who gets me their address before Aug 14th.) I may or may not put this post onto other social medias as well.

Have fun!

MOOP!


1: Sending Address: the comments on this post are screened, my email address is kdsorceress, gmail, you can text/Signal me if you know that number, whatever.

I'm happy to have international addresses. Please include a "good until" date if you know your address is subject to change.

2: The subtext here is "write me a letter or postcard with your answer", but you could just post it too if you want.

Time to write my words!

Today has been a good day! Albeit a fairly low-key one.

I slept in until nearly ten, which feels...luxurious and stuff? I dunno man, Tuesday had to leave the house by like 7:30am so ke could get to work on time, which is very early for a non-teacher. (in contrast, Austin can leave after 9, as long as he's got his bike, or just before if he's walking to the shuttle). But I did not get out of bed at the same time! I stayed floppy and happy and snoozy and had weird edges of dreams and it was _great_ frankly. 10/10.

Got up, fucked around Tuesday's apartment, ate some snax, mostly played a bunch of Stardew because _obvs_. Managed to just begin an experiment with Camping Out, and now my next day is going to be waking up next to the skull mine and charging through it as deep as I can. Mua ha ha and stuff! (I possibly shouldn't have done this on the day I need to harvest my snowmelons (powdermelons?) but that's fine, it's fine, I can just be a day late with them since I don't really want to spend all my pinecones on more anyways, so maybe I'll just leave them lying around).

Tuesday got home around five, and we snuggled a bit and then walked off to a farmer's market not too far from ker place. We bought neat art! I got horrible barbie-arm earrings and I love them _so much_ already, and also earrings that might actually be a gift for Alys now that I think of it, and also talked to a very enthusiastic artist who makes acrylic rings (!) and they are so bright and chonky and wonderful and I'm going to use them as hair rings for my braids. She was completely charmed by the idea, and so I took one of her cards and promised I'd send a photo. So now I actually have to do that, but it'll be fun and I have all the right tools for it.

(At the yard sale SamSam and I went to over the weekend, I also bought more things to be hair rings, so I really am due a proper fun braiding).

We also stopped by a little food truck and got borgers¹ and a different food truck for fries and enjoyed the stunning weather --warm but breezy and very pleasant in the shade. There were children and families and the occasional dog, and some kind of theatre happening, and it felt really good to be hanging out in A Community (even if it's technically not my community).

Also on the way home we saw a cat, who Tuesday gave much adoration to, and I finally got my Merlin app set up enough to put in some birds that I saw. I now have Two Birds on my life list, so I assume that's most of them².

We got home in plenty of time before my much-delayed "weekly watch Taskmaster with Tailsteak" date, which we are currently _very_ behind on. We have now seen episode 3 of UK season 19, please no spoilers, yes it's a very good one. I think there's a series of NZ being uploaded to the YouTube now, that's certainly next, and then we should line up and ensure we're caught up on all the various English speaking ones. Maybe someday we will venture into the wonderful world of subtitles? I know at least a few are on official YouTube, and they do tend to have pretty good subtitles for the English ones, so I have hope!

Anyways, seeing Tailsteak was really good because he's my bro and it's nice to have someone I can fistbump (metaphorically) and brag to and gas up and also analyze the comedy and figure out how we could do it better. And then he disappeared halfway through, because there was a thunderstorm, and it's plausible I have narrowed down where he lives to the circle on the outage map for his city. He did not confirm or deny, but it's possible he ignored my message because I sent it while he was no-internet.

What no, I'm sure he wouldn't give his address to me, a total stranger from the internet, I might be some sort of creep.

ANYways, he did make it back online, and we did finish the episode, and now I am doing words and soon I am going sleep. Tomorrow I take the train back to Boston and, I dunno, fuck around a bit? Austin and I have a maybe train-and-bike-adventure-plan for Saturday, which I'm looking forward to!

1: congratulations Ezri, you have in fact ruined my vocabulary in this way, "burgers" actually sounds wrong now, I love having a family that influences my familect <3 (that second part is entirely sincere, I really do love my weird little house-family so much!)

2: Like, how many birds total are there? Ten?
