Some selections from my trip to Erewhon with Isa today. I always loved White Castle’s “chicken rings” where they take processed meat that has gone through an unspeakable system of production and perform a strange act of honesty by shaping it into an abstract form (torus). It's slightly different from chicken nuggets/ tenders which involve random shapes that are less “ideal” and more like mountain ranges and rocks. Burgers and McChickens on the other hand simply let the meat follow the form of the buns. At Erewhon the liver pill supplement (obfuscating its gory interior with a shell of bovine gelatin, also derived from animals of course) exists alongside the “authentic” packaging of a brand called “HealthForce SuperFoods” that calls to mind the album art of some ethnographic didgeridoo record. Meanwhile Erewhon brand products themself sit somewhere between Off-White strategic-intervention design and Basic Channel style pyschedelia. I am flooded with this feeling that design and the world have a relation more like quantum entanglement than any sort of dialectic.

Well me and my sister decided to buy a grow kit. Went for Cambodian gold shrooms. They are easy to grow with a long lasting and energetic high. Perfect for us.
I’ve not grown mushrooms in years. I’m looking forward to it but it’s pressure too lol need to get a misting sprayer as well. Any tips would be appreciated.
So looking forward to getting high and feeling released. It’s an odd feeling but my pain used to melt away and my mind wandered. Feelings of bliss and love. The grow kit yields roughly an ounce which will give us several months worth of sessions. My partners keen to see me on them as he’s only seen me high once. I don’t count being stoned as high lol
So any tips or trip reports on the Cambodian gold I would love to hear them 😊
Mush love ❤️🍄❤️🍄

we are turning violent;
inwardly destructing ourselves & deriving us of our humanity.
this is not insanity, this is us being normal, can't you see?

I now have a grow bag with mycelium impregnated in it. Can’t wait for them to grow lol
We’ve decided that from this grow bag onwards I will grow them from scratch. I have been watching videos showing me how to do it all and I feel confident that I can do it.
I’ve decided I am going to make the substrate from coir and vermiculite. Going to use canna professional for the coir as it’s contaminate free with a fungi in it that clears up contaminates. I will of course still be pasteurising the mix. I will be adding coffee grounds too to add nitrogen and micro nutrients. Will be sat on a perlite base for moisture. I can’t decide what size jar to use. Does anyone know what’s best? A suggested size varies from 250ml to 1L, so I’m unsure.
I’m sort of looking forward to it. Be a new hobby for me 😏 I’ll probably grow some exotic edible mushrooms too as I do love a mushroom pasta or risotto.
I might try wholecium next time for spores as I like the look of their options and can buy some truffles too. Anyone used them before?
Sister went out picking today. Found plenty of mushrooms...just not magic ones 🍄 we will hit the jackpot at some point. We are going for a walk on Tuesday so fingers crossed!
I really want a dehydrator but can’t afford a new one really 😞 so got to hope one on freegle turns up or one cheap on Facebook. Donations welcome lol
Right it’s bed time 😴sleep well my pretties! Xx

Top 10 Songs of 2021!!!!
Tumblr media
When 2020 ended, I had hope for 2021. Music was one of the few parts of this year that actually delivered on that hope. From Lil Nas X asserting himself as more than a one hit wonder, to Taylor Swift solidifying herself as the musical voice of a generation, to Olivia Rodrigo carrying that torch to the next generation, this year had wonderful music all around. And of those wonderful songs, these were the 10 best:
If you want to listen to this list as a playlist, you can do that here.
Love You to Death - Fickle Friends
If CHVRCHES distilled synthpop this year, this song represents it in its rawest form. And still the most polished piece of music from this year. Killer synth riffs and funky guitar lines give this song the same feeling as nerves fading to euphoria. Few songs have such a distinct bite, no song sounds so dangerously fun.
I Love you, I hate You - Little Simz
Little Simz's Lush, Orchestral production provide a classy edge to her reflection upon her complicated relationship with her father. More than the pain he caused, this song showcases her growth in spite of his failings. The last verse could be written in philosophy texts about the nature of grace. She ends the song with all the genuine compassion and sincere disdain of a southerner saying Bless Your Heart: "I'm not forgivin' for you, man, I'm forgivin' for me."
Stand for myself - Yola
The album this comes on starts with the song Barely Alive. This song, which closes the album ends with an anthemic cry: I'm alive, alive, I'm alive / I used to be nothing, like you / I used to feel nothing like You, / Now I'm Alive, Alive, I'm Alive! This song lives in the same space in my mind as Aretha Franklin's Respect - they don't both just demand respect, they take it, and crush the men who would not give it to them in the process.
Jackie - Yves Tumor
Yves Tumor make music for pandemics. These past two years have created a unique sense of bitter longing for things that could have been and can no longer be. Jackie is that feeling, unleased in song form. In it, Yves tumor beg and claw for a lost love; in the music video, they fight with swords, and it ends with both their deaths. We've had music that has captured quarantine (looking at you Folklore), but when my grandchildren ask me what covid was like after the inital lockdowns, this is the song I'll show them.
Valentine - Snail Mail
Out of all these songs, this was the one I've sung the most. Every time I was alone in my room, every shower, every second no one was listening- "SO WHY'D YOU WANNA ERASE MEEEE??? DAAAAAAARLING VALENTIIIINE!!!!!!!!". If you made me choose my favorite 10 seconds of music this year, this chorus would be it in a heartbeat. The second best 10 seconds are in the verses- the pain and longing in her voice when she says, "You won't believe what just two months do / I'm older now, believe me, I adore you" are unmatched.
Afrique Victime - Mdou Moctar
Tuareg Rock. Pyschedelia. The best thing to happen to protest music since the 60's. Mdou Moctar's electrifying energy transcends linguistic and geographic barriers. Music like this brings the plight of the people of Niger to the world. If you take nothing else from this review, let it be this song. You will leave with a greater global awareness and broadened musical horizons.
Leave the Door Open - Silk Sonic
Smooth [smo͞oT͟H]
Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars have created a time machine and you cannot convince me otherwise. This song's groove, love, and retro-70s vibe are easily the highlight of any funk-enjoyer's year.
See also: Suave, Polished
All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault) (Extra Parenthesis Version) - Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift is the artist of our generation, and this her crowning achievement. Most ten-minute songs have long instrumental sections, and that's not a bad thing. Most artists aren't Taylor and can't write cutting verse after cutting verse. This is the song to burn bridges to.
And Jake Gyllenhaal needs to give her dang scarf back!
THATS WHAT I WANT - Lil Nas X
I want... so many good things for Lil Nas X. His unabashedly gay anthems perfectly capture being young, reckless and in love. This song is no exception. Never has being painfully single sounded so good.
How Not To Drown - CHVRCHES
CHVRCHES have distilled synthpop down into its purest form. This song sounds like the water's rising with an energy that's hard to dismiss. Perfect music for an angry movie scene in the rain.
Honorable mentions
Brutal - Olivia Rodrigo
Spoiled Little Brat - underscores
Secrets (Your Fire) - Magdelena Bay
Thanks for reading and here's to a better 2022!
