Perfect Days (2023) dir. Wim Wenders

i hate when people assume i won't know about something ... Ive lived one thousand lifetimes. & I'm on Tumblr

Turnstones turning stones

thinking over and over and over of that clip from a maya angelou talk about the importance of knowing one another's history. no matter how brutal no matter how bleak no matter how despairing no matter anything because the only way through it is to go all the way through it. and the only way to build anything with one another is by having gone all the way through it because otherwise there is no connection. whats a connection worth that's built on ignorance? sustained by ignorance?

went on a farm visit for work today, an organic one in Flanders 💖🌷

the pigs (bonhams, really) were so curious about us newcomers (me and lots of agroforestry experts) and made deep noises emanating from their whole being. Their strong spotted bodies were streaked with rain from the bad weather and touching their noses the skin was rough, so they could dig through the soil better. You can tell they are so smart.
