"There are two ways to make the world more mesmerizing: to seek out new and increasingly intense experiences, or to loosen the filters that make ordinary experience “ordinary”. You can go skydiving, or you can meditate for long enough that walking feels like skydiving. Either way, I think what we’re seeking is an escape back into what we used to be... See more
“Dips are the water cooler of parties.” Yes, @amberrosetamblyn, yes they are. I loved so much Amber’s most recent newsletter, about, yes…dips. But the SOCIOLOGY of a good dip.

a favorite in our household 💕 baby girl’s birthday is this weekend and it was time to update her birthday face banner. I got a lot of questions about how we make these and my answer is always as loose as the others.. sky is *always* the limit. but here’s the basics! supplies: -cardstock or thick paper -different paper/material. Basically anything in the scrap bin! -a couple of these papers are my wrapping paper (coming soon!) -tacky glue (not hot glue) -twine, string or ribbon -any extras like glitter, poms, tissue paper, crepe paper etc. -I like to choose pictures from every age (starting at the very beginning!) and print their faces to a good size to fit as a banner. I printed two of her faces to one 8.5x11” page, so they’re all relatively close in size. -Cut out party hats! This is where you can go as subtle or adventurous as you want. I always go the latter, shocker there. Then glue to the head of each face. -space out each cut out evenly to your liking, then secure the faces with string/ribbon/twine on the back. I use two strands to make it extra secure. And leave a lot of extra on the ends so you can add on over time 🎀

I’m fascinated by the way that the cheerleaders themselves have narrativized this sort of self-objectification: in all the talk about locking eyes with a spectator and giving them that special moment , in the focus on the happiness you provide just by existing , in the focus on sanding down just enough individuality (even height differentiation) to...

“Other people might not understand who you’re becoming, or why you’re choosing what you choose, or what you’re doing during your seasons of emergence. The good news is that you don’t need anyone’s understanding to live into your truest next chapter. You don’t need anyone’s permission or validation. You don’t need anyone’s green light. You get to go... See more
