Kelly’s response to binge watching “Are You the One?” ❤️‍🔥, existential climate conversations 🌎, riffs with a secret friend of PTK 🤫, & Larissa’s brilliant Brazil poem that you MUST read if you haven’t already 😈.

probs not I only like the ones who ask
hard-hitting questions hot
tub time machine been there loose ends
liminal spaces didn’t even know
how you were moving imagine: 
you wake up one morning & 
all the trees on your street 
are wrapped in ribbons, lists, & 
boys with taglines are my weakness 
how do I unsubscribe to this 
Airbnb looks the same grey IKEA couch 
went everywhere with you & now 
you’ve given it up jumping around 
isn't going to solve the problem 
stargazing will wouldn’t it be awful 
if the truth booth told us it would 
all work out in the end & we’d been living
in fear for no reason this whole time?

Hiiii to all of our new subscribers 👋🏻, already love you! So my homework for the week is to watch EVEN MORE “Are You the One?” because apparently, Season 8 is all bisexuals. Also, if you can’t get enough of us, we hang out on instagram a lot because we are millennials and we can’t help it and we promise we’ll figure out TikTok one day but until then, see ya on the internet. 🫠

I love how this feels so much like found poetry. The line "Airbnb looks the same grey IKEA couch" is a brillant take on modern travel life. I've seen so much IKEA furniture and kitchenware and anything in Airbnbs and B&Bs and appartments we found on internet or simply by ringing a bell and finding someone who tells us to follow her for about 100 km to end up next door to that David almost and, yes, unpacking the final IKEA touches....
