I don’t know what to call the styles currently on offer but the last time I checked out Target, Express, Old Navy I noticed a lot more muted color, dated thrift-shoppy aesthetic that I thought looked pretty wack. I’ll leave that to the younger dudes with their mullets and mustaches (which I also do not understand)

Now we’re talking. Yiume is definitely in the vein of what I want to see (owlohh was the complete opposite lol). I’m a rolled-up long-sleeve shirt kind of guy but I’m really digging these patterns. Love this cat print one https://www.yiume.com/products/mens-hawaiian-shirt-the-cat-that-kicked-cuju-cotton-camp-collar-short-sleeve-aloha-shirt

edit: Having scrolled through all their shirts, I’m glad they’re doing that cat collection because almost everything else I was not vibing nearly as much as it much more standard “obnoxiously loud hawaiian shirt”–though much nicer designs than I usually see. Maybe what I need to look more for is artist collabs as they tend to have a little more soul than “here’s another kitschy pattern of the same thing you’ve seen a dozen times before.”

Looks like you might be staying in the same apartment I did when I first visited Seattle. Great view, isn’t it?

I love them. The inside of my mouth, not so much.

I let the intrusive thoughts win and hung my ceiling nightlight thing from the inside shower curtain and shower with the lights off. I find it more calming–not that I found found showers not relaxing before but feels like I’m shutting out the outside world more and that I find more relaxing.

I also have some of those bone conducting headphones that are waterproof so I listen to podcasts while I shower as well.

Huh, never knew the Soviets got churchills. 🤔
