feeling antsy, snippet from blog
Screenshot of a blog post snippet with ant graphics overlaid. It reads: "Ants crawl on top of me. I’ve not seen an ant in ages. The tiny, black ones; ones that taste sweet when they drown in water, or perhaps it was because the water itself was sweet. It doesn’t matter, I drank it anyways. They stray from their path, lost, having to reckon with the fact that I might…swipe them off without even looking. Right now, I feel lonely."

in love with this thai tea mix packaging from work
Picture of a tea bag, held in hand. It’s from ChaTraMue Brand Thai Tea, product of Thailand. White base with a red band in the centre, ornamental filigree in gold with black stroke decorates the design. Text and labels surround the front of the design.
