“I turned 31 this past summer, and [Dax] said ‘I’m gonna get you a present that no one else will ever get in their lifetime.’ and I was confused, and thought ‘ok’ so the day of my birthday, we’re sitting in the living room and there’s a knock at the door and he says ‘Your present’s here, why don’t you go grab the dogs and go in the back room’ and I had no context for knowing what it was, but I grab the dogs, walk into the back room of the house and I imediately was overcome and I thought ‘There’s a sloth near. There’s a sloth here, it’s close, it’s gonna happen.’ And I didn’t know how to process that, because my entire life had been waiting for this moment, where I would get to interact- I’m serious - with a sloth…and I…First thing you should know about me, if I’m not between a 3 and a 7 on the emotional scale, I’m crying. [I’m crying] if I’m too sad, I’m crying if I’m too happy. […] So I am sitting on my bed, knowing that a sloth is here - [I’m at an] 11 [on the scale] - I start to have a fledged panic attack. I don’t know how to compete with all this emotion, so I just kind of crawl up on the bed and I’m crying so hard, and Dax knocks on the door, and he has a video camera, and he’s like ‘Surprise! I want you to come out into the- Are you alright!?’ And he sees me basically fetal, on the bed.”

I have always lived violently, drunk hugely, eaten too much or not at all, slept around the clock or missed two nights sleep, worked too long and too hard in glory, or slobbed for a time in utter laziness. I’ve lifted, pulled, chopped, climbed, made love with joy and taken my hangovers as a consequence, not as a punishment.

Pluto e Proserpina (Pluto and Persephone)
By far, my favorite piece of almost all Italian art by my favorite Italian artist, Bernini. And to think, this was done with marble, 400 years ago, by a man of only 23 years.

q and g aren’t even near each other on the keyboard. ILU.
Noooooo, but they look EXACTLY the same. Seriously. They are like twin letters.
