Cry hard, cry loud, cry in private, in public, cry when you need to cry. I spent decades of my life suppressing all my emotions and pretending to not have feelings at all! Unless something life altering and catastrophic happened, like a death, major fight/breakup, or nightmare panic attack, I just shut down. But in my late twenties and now early thirties Iāve opened up the floodgates and cry cathartically multiple times a week. Typing this out does sound like Iām unstable, and maybe I am, but crying is proven to help you self-soothe, recover from grief, detoxify, dull pain, and improve mood by releasing stress hormones. Crying and laughing and laughing until you cry and crying until you laugh. So if you feel a cry coming, donāt suppress it!!!

I do it a lot. I feel like itās a great release man. When I was younger I just kept things bottled up (Where Iām from you kinda had to, canāt look weak). Now that Iām older I do it as much as I can man. Itāll kill you if you just let things build up and nobody wants to be that guy trust me. Let that shit out, I genuinely believe crying keeps you around longer.

If youāre from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Donāt! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, itās worth it. Plus they have cute little trailers to gab about with your date or friend, but i also go alone because nobody tried to have small talk with you at the movies and you can just disassociate peacefully in blissful high-power air conditioning on a hot nyc summer day. They have guest curators on a monthly basis and do fun screenings of old flicks. Highly recommend it. Nitehawk > Alamo.

Did you know CO STAR is AI generated and designed to abuse its subscribers with fear tactics, using astrological scare tactics to create buzz? And The Pattern is also AI bullshit. If you actually want real astrological readings from an app, inclusive of meditation practices and journal prompts, tailored to you, with an audio format read by the astrologer herself, CHANI, then get this app. There are also hundreds (dozens?!) of meditations and affirmations recorded. I fall asleep to her voice every single night. Also +++ sheās queer and cool and this is her lifeās work. Worth every penny.

Erin is at the forefront of trans journalism and focuses her daily newsletter on issues that every other major/minor news outlet is significantly underreporting on or ignoring altogether. Reedās independent reporting is succinct in ways i personally appreciate because, while it is necessary to stay informed on current policies shifts as it affects my livelihood, I also canāt ruminate in it without giving way to a manically typing āHOW TO LEAVE AMERICAā into my browser while I scarf down a Nerds Rope wishing things could be different. So, for that, Iām fucking grateful she keeps it simple and accessible. Subscribe, share, subscribe, share. Her work is imperative to trans safety and liberation.
