at this point I think at a personal level we need to look at the BDS movement carefully and try to implement it in our lives. your local cafe can make a starbucks quality caramel macchiato without co-signing genocide. learn how to pirate if you wanna watch Disney+ shows. lots of other shoe brands than puma! you've never needed a sodastream water in your life. instead of hungover mcdo beef grease fries, order some delicious latkes. and so on and so forth....... the power of the US dollar, and the euro/pound is quite unparalleled. so use it! make it publicly embarrassing to be seen with these brands, for influencers to advertise it, force their hand until they publicly cut ties with an apartheid regime, or watch their stock price plummet.

hello hello hello
i can't remember the last time i posted anything of substance but since i don't use twitter anymore, and instagram has become very impersonal, i will send a little update to the world !
have a new job, been there for 2 mths, enjoying it mostly but it is a baby and i keep forgetting that i need to be patient... i am not a very patient person...
am planning a trip to japan next year, have our flights but nothing else yet. let me know any recommendations of things to do! definitely hitting tokyo, kyoto, osaka, and the other tourist shit because there is SO MUCH to see and do that... we just have to start SOMEWHERE and those are obv popular for good reason
ellie's the same. i'm the same. that's about it
writing nothing, reading nothing (still have chris parker's here for a good time and tamar adler's an everlasting meal on my bedside table), buying cookbooks and food writing like my life depends on it (most recently alicia kennedy's no meat required, my friend sam low just published modern chinese, and i have t. rose wilde's bread and roses in my shopping cart) but barely cracking any open, watching x-men and wes anderson movies lately... eating my first ever basque cheesecake and the bread i make at work and lots and lots of delivery Goods... listening to a lot of nz music ("kiwi classics" and "kiwi bbq") this week bc my coworker is on a work visa from japan and is interested in local/English/Maori songs, listening to conan o'brien needs a friend podcasts from 2 years ago because i am catching up ! accidentally learning bits and pieces of japanese from said coworker. after a month i was already saying "ne" when asking a question

hello,
the instagram grid… forgettable… i prefer these days the impermanence of a story. but i want to share this—months ago, prepping pickles for @rubyjetwhite’s piece ‘stranger families’ in gap [黄馨贤박성환嫦潔] filler, a show of ceramics with @sunghwanbobbypark and @artofcindyhuang. felt very special to be involved and even more special to receive one of the fermenting crocks after the show’s closure 💝 (at Studio One Toi Tū) https://www.instagram.com/p/CrzgAA9LF_j/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
finally i have remembered to share some pics of the spread for jenna’s 30th. it took us many hours but imo we had a lot of fun and the payoff of delicious food? to celebrate the best person in the world that i’ve ever met in my life? so worth it ps. i know these are grainy shit but i’m into it (at Tāmaki Makaurau) https://www.instagram.com/p/CrXBiTwvWd0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
