No More Felt-Matted Checkers Sets (1/10)
Sep 13, 202100:04:13Tap to summarizeToday marks a new day at a newer coffee shop. The past cafe has been recategorized to a social infirmary: a place where I can go with a mismatched outfit and some unexplained bruises, bedhead too. But this new place that I'm at, it's the fancier, more judgmental of the two. It runs on the very thin line between aesthetic and toxic, something that I think I might need right now in order to get any work done.

The Timberland Excuse (3/10)
Sep 13, 202100:11:31Tap to summarizeI stopped at a convenience store to get some cinnamon candies and a seltzer then ran into someone who I sort of knew. Also, I’ve been to the coffee s-h-o-p-p-e 8 times over the past couple weeks now… shouldn’t the man with the mule tail goatee know what my order is? Why can’t he let me be a regular yet?
