I do like things that want to shape-shift into other formats, band-style, music to video to costume to album art. the consequence & perks of opening up? scary but exciting 22/2/25 4 days teaching makes me feel student-style tired. young? 12/2/25 feeling so fluid. too fluid? not yet. 11/2/25 does this turn into a date? this sounds a bit ambiguous but I think @elliott knows what I mean [edit: he does]
