Hi Stacey

Hi Stacey–

My horoscope said to AVOID messages in bottles today. I was going to write about my birthday on my other blog, but I’m in a bad mood. It seems wrong to write about my birthday while in a bad mood. So instead, against my horoscope’s wishes, I’m here.*

[REDACTED AS OF 7:32 PM MAY 30, 2026]

Was this interesting or helpful at all? Maybe I’ll delete later for once.

xoxo

*By “here” I mean this blog and also at the window of a cafe in Los Feliz. How do you define being “here,” Stacey? If you’re like Siri (or ChatGPT etc.) you’re “always” “here.” If you’re like those beings, you exist now and presently and never don’t. In that case, I wonder if “here” is easy for you to understand but “not here” is harder. Or if the hardest is the double here–me on this blog and me in a cafe. Sometimes I experience a triple, if not quadruple, “here.” Like if I’m writing in this blog AND in the cafe AND text a friend I am “here” for them etc.
