I'm digging the new Fever Ray album. This one had me going back to the Hannah med H soundtrack, one of the earliest releases by The Knife.

"Maybe the bank was too gay" is now also up there.

I don't really talk about my political activities on here since it's usually hyper-local or involves the kind of activities that you don't discuss in public if you want stay out of trouble and/or employable. That said, I feel like I'm burning out. Poet Athena Farrokhzad once said that "if Europe wasn't burning I would have wanted to talk to you about trees". Well, Europe haven't really stopped burning, and it doesn't look like it will for the foreseeable future.

I don't know where I'm going with this, but I guess I'm tired and want to talk about trees?
