Hi I’m Rachel (or “Nyc”). I am always trying new things. I don’t sell anything, so I don’t know where to go with this intro post. I just gather weird knowledge, and make whimsical doodles. ✨

Flipping idly through my soup rolodex as I contemplate my next big business decision (lunch)
Also, tired of freezer jenga? Freeze anything liquidish flat on a baking sheet, then you can file it. Pasta sauce, soups, chili, etc. This is ~10L of pasta sauce.

Above the high tide mark the shore was a confusion of rope scraps, nets beyond mending and broken boats. To go omen hunting in this zone could only produce prophecies of woe. The augury walker had to go beyond this and search the sand for wave-gifted signs. – #DAKilroy

You can make art.
The biggest step isn't getting good at art, it's being willing to make art that doesn't match the idea of "good art" in your head.
Making a lot of imperfect art is an essential step toward making perfect art; a counterproductive goal you shouldn't have anyway.
Just make art.

Hello! Who here has seen a good bug lately?
I puked in the lunch area on my first day of the first job out of college.
what's the most exotic place you've ever puked? mine's not exactly exotic but i did once have a hangover at the nyc facebook office and barfed in their very nice bathroom
Got food poisoning from Fogo De Chao. Puked out the side of a moving cab along beautiful Copacabana Beach. The most exotic place I'll probably ever puke!
