for two months, I've been flying drones over Flock cameras to situation them in space and geography; I even got my commercial drone license in order to do it. I'd like to share this project with you all: it's called Records Of Enemy Surveillance: recordsofenemysurveillance.com
i would really like the personal growth i've had so far in 2026 to end, or, if it's not going to end, at least some degree of comfort i can access through it? lately my life has felt like all work and growth… but no fun
i'm remembering things my ex-spouse did and i need to scream louder than i have ever screamed before
a single women holding a plate of food in one hand, eating with the other, standing behind a bunch of men at the bar who don't even have drinks chivalry is really & truly dead
you ever think how sometimes doing the more aligned, easier, thing is more virtuous than doing the hard thing?
y'know… in hindsight, trying to heal a major abandonment wound in a dynamic where i only feel chosen on tuesdays and saturdays was maybe not the best move for my nervous system and ive thought about it a long while, and i think, at least for right now, poly just isn't a supportive structure for me
sorry i'm not as silly about women as i used to be, but after all the ghosting, a situationship, more than a few cancelled dates, "you're too excited", and more mixed hot & cold signals than i can count… i just want a simple thing with someone who means what they say and the capacity to back it up
it's a small comfort, but from everyone i've met and made friends with here, the feeling's very universal: LA is a hard town to be single in
all this tribulation in my love life is building up to some really great karmic payoff soon, right? …right??
ugh. starting to feel stood up a bit. which is genuinely surprising tbh
oh… i'm like, anxious. haha. what? haven't felt like this in a *while* damn.
only in LA will you be chilling at your local bar and some other regular just waltzes in with an emmy fucking love this town fr fr
watching the vibe change between my friend and i as we get closer and she holds some of our time together for an actual 1:1 hang, rather than sharing everything during her shift at the bar it's a good change, i think, but noticed
EVERYONE PLEASE SHARE THIS GIRL IS A FUCKING SWEETHEART
guy approaches me at the bar like "are you here alone?" and like… buddy… i live a block away and have the staff's personal phone numbers. idk how to answer your question, but i'll say "yeah" just to see where you take it because i live for the plot
tfw it all comes together and you realize you do, in fact, really fucking like this one, and maybe you've been overlooking it because it hasn't been chaotic, but she's sweet and consistent in her attention, and obviously cares and you realize you do too…
"i wonder if she intends this hang to be a date" she asks, when it's going to be at one of the cutest indie cafe & bookstores on the east side of la, and the two of them flirt all the time in person, "there's just no way to be sure"
maybe counterintuitive, but i think "id cry about it if things didn't work out" is a massive dating green flag so much of the advice out there, esp on insta, is focused around "detachment" as if dating were some kind of business arrangement you're not meant to become emotionally invented in
tfw the gender neutral bar bathroom seat is dry >>>>>>>>>>>>
she just took a big 'ol sip out of my drink before handing it to me at the bar… omg 😵💫
had an insight and a lot of how i've felt in my past has just snapped into sharp relief
learning how to be a bitch and not nice… but in a kind and girls girl kinda way
