if I'm being honest

I need to stop projecting my expectations on to the weather

Ayooo! Sorry you haven’t heard from us in a hot second. PTK has had A LOT cooking i.e. …

houses flooding, getting on exclusive influencer lists, ducks taking over our terraces, making plans with the next PTK squatter, and OF COURSE, preparing for the launch of our first editorial issue 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 HOT PEOPLE HAVE A SPRING AWAKENING 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 dropping this Saturday, April 29th!!

Tell all your friends! It’s going to feature the spring-iest and mood-iest poetry, art, and music selected from our open call. WE CAN’T WAIT.

As Larissa is dipping her ear into the ocean for the first time, and I am avoiding the King’s Day shenanigans in Amsterdam (on my terrace, with the aforementioned ducks), here’s a piece to tide you over until Saturday.
