On a journey of restlessness and return with @patternsandportraits 💘
You: a body among bodies frothing into scale. The words refracting where your tongue begins to split. You moulting and shivering against other skins, you surface. #carpdreams Rp from @penrosepress Preorder for “If A Carp Dreams Of The Milky Way” is now available! Link in bio 🐟
然若你無謂結果 我便造一座港口 你想留便留。 #象牙舟
From the other side of the Atlantic, i looked east.
how abundance begets abundance. how intuitive. how uncharacteristic of us.
my heart skipped a beat upon meeting this ancient crater. you charming testament, I adore you.
wave over wave over wave.
three peas in the gooey pod. there are no peas i love more.
of beauty and grief.

#SOTD: 치스비치 CSVC - Summer Love - A new 90’s summer fresh song we’ve all been waiting for.☀️Four indie female artists - Dalchong of CHEEZE, Stella Jang, Lovey, and Moon Chi - have joined together for a summer song so perfect in aesthetic of the 1st gen female Kpop groups, with added sweetness of their great vocals. - “나의 모든 걸 다 너에게 줄게 i will give you all of me 저 푸른 바다와 너만 있다면 as long as i have the blue ocean and you” - 🍬 Check it out at bit.ly/ourjxmsCSVC (link in bio)!
#jxmsMixtape: Notes for Breakfast ☕️ Whether the morning is rainy, cloudy or sunny, whether the floor is cold to the feet or warm and sticky, whether you are refreshed and ready or still struggling through yesterday’s fatigue, we have a song for that. Take a listen at bit.ly/jxmsbreakfast (link in bio) - Featuring @standingegg, @decajoinstw, @peterpan_complex_official, Sue, @dalchong, and @sweetjohnofficial.
#SOTD: 玫瑰少年 by 蔡依林 / 阿信. “I love it when multiple versions of the same song emerge into the world. I love how both versions are deeply personal responses to tragedy and both calls to action and change in different ways. It’s one of the few times I look into the mainstream music scene and feel a deep sense of hope.” - Read the full post! Link in bio ☝️
#tbt2010 This was the year Hebe, the veritable goddess, began her solo career. This was also the year the folk duo Okdal debuted with a love letter to the days we’ve felt the lowest. Soulful & lyrical hip hop was growing as Supreme Team reached its peak, while rappers like Soft Lipa gathered a loyal group of followers. - Check ‘em highlights out at link in bio 🍑
#SOTD: 새소년 - 긴 꿈 / Se So Neon - A Long Dream 💫 - After a thrilling debut in 2017, this alt rock band announced their last concert in December 2018 as the two male members had to go for their military service. The vocalist & guitarist @sleeep__sheeep went solo, until early this summer two new members joined to restart the band. - The title song that put them on the radar, “긴 꿈” also made everyone fall in love with So Yoon’s husky voice. From xylophone beats to drum echoes, it’s a surreal adventure through a long-winding lucid dream. - “수상한 밤들이 계속되던 날 when mysterious nights continued 언젠가부터 나는 좀 달라졌다 suddenly, i began to change 빛 바래간 내 웃음이 눈치 없이 삐져나올 때 when my faded bright smile left me without a hint” - Check out the song, including its fun music video by Japanese animator Hoji Tsuchiya at http://bit.ly/ourjxmsdream 🌝
#AlbumReview: 魏如萱 - 末路狂花 / waa wei - Run! Frantic Flowers! — At once playful, brooding, gentle and mildly creepy, waa wei’s approach to her music has always been to slip out of easy categories. The tracks have an Alice-in-Wonderland feel to them, where the fantastical, dream-like and real elements are a perfect blend of music. — 我是比較危險的花 末路中的優雅 I am a more dangerous flower, the grace on the road to the end 犯賤中的瀟灑 狂歌中的飛花 the recklessness in indecisive regret, the flowers flying through the wildest songs 落在哪就綻放在哪 堅持到最後的煙花 blooming wherever they land, fireworks holding out till the end — Check out the full album review at https://bit.ly/2SUllMt (link in bio) 🌺🌼🌸
#SOTD: 逃跑計劃 - 閃光的回憶 / Escape Plan - Shining Memories — "被貼上‘搖滾’標籤的樂隊 只要試圖用溫柔的方式抵抗這個世界，就會被評論：‘不夠反骨，不夠叛逆，不夠搖滾."
“For bands and musicians that have been given the "rock' label, any attempt on their part to resist this world with gentleness invites the critique of "not opposing enough, not rebellious enough, not rock enough.” — 那曾經的不知疲倦 (The fatigue and helplessness you knew) 怎堪柴米茶與時間 ( How could it withstand banality and time) 奧 年華 (Years on years) 唯有你曾攀越的山峰 (Only the mountains you have climbed) 和曾給予的寬容在記憶中 閃閃發光 (And the grace you gave; in your memory; shine) 怎堪柴米茶與時間 ( How could it withstand banality and time) 奧 年華 (Years on years) 唯有你曾攀越的山峰 (Only the mountains you have climbed) 和曾給予的寬容在記憶中 閃閃發光 (And the grace you gave; in your memory; shine) — Check out the song at https://bit.ly/30Orpsm ✨ - @jaziimun

#ArtistFeature: 김예림 Lim Kim Well-known for her romantic R&B grooves and gentle acoustic voice, Lim re-enters the world after a 4-year hiatus as a fierce charismatic warrior dabbling in experimental mixing and rap.

an august ending in the ontario tranquility - “일요일 아침의 게으른 시간 속에서, ‘언제였더라! 그때 참 좋았었는데’ 하고 저절로 떠오르는 기억들, 그 기억들 속에서 근심은 힘을 잃고 사라진다. 현실의 속박들도 잠시 사라진다. 졸음 속에서 여행을 한다...시들지 않는 즐거움이 함께한다. 마음은 다른 것이 아니라 다시 그런 기쁨을 누릴 수 있기를 갈망한다.“ - 정혜윤 <인생의 일요일들>
endless fields of peace interrupted by sounds of crickets while i pranced around with my wool blanket wings // 답답한 도시에서 평온한 자연 속으로 놀러 가 그림 같은 맑은 하늘 아래 자유로운 풍경과 오랜만에 매미와 귀뚜라미 소리를 들으며 너무나도 신나 나방처럼 뛰어다녔다.

When Steph reached out to me about this project, I was excited. I love the idea of using apparel as starting points to tell stories. Clothing and accessories hold abundance of experiences that we often forget or remain oblivious to, as they travel through multiple lives, times and lands. It astounds me what stories my mom’s scarf holds and how I will never know them, while I’m also giving it more stories. Steph and Izzy have been working hard for the past months, interviewing, photographing & now editing and prepping for the exhibition. They met with ten young folks around the GTA who have kindly shared their journeys, memories and histories—each person’s narrative so unique and so important. I’m delighted to support these two wonderful women in creating this project, which we hope to be the beginning of a dynamic cultural preservation. - “Wear We Came From” exhibition runs from September 5-14 @crimsonteas. Please join us for the Opening Night on Thursday, September 5th, from 7-9 pm (doors open at 6:30)! Go to @projectx40c for more info!✨ #WearWeCameFrom
this summer is probably the summer that i ate the most ice cream & my goal is to continue this trend in winter & the heat awaits me to make this dream possible. // 맛있는 아이스크림 더욱 더 많이먹자🍦
오늘을 위해서.
an august bloom // 지희가 이효리 분위기처럼 라벤더와 함께 찍어줌 🌼
