This piece hit something I’ve been circling for a while — the tension between expression and optimization. Whether it’s AI, hobbies, couches, or clothes, there’s this recurring theme: how do we reclaim the parts of life that aren’t immediately legible as productive?
Remy’s style, for instance, feels like embodied mythmaking — an intuitive escape from the rational spreadsheet of adulthood. It’s not just aesthetic; it’s narrative agency. Same with Korine’s “Baby Invasion” — it’s not a story, it’s an atmosphere. You don’t watch it, you wade through it.
The Terabithia reference is solid and I love it. Also, I keep meaning to tell you that I bought the Greta Garmel dress on your recommendation. I LOVE asymmetry, adjustable fits, any sort of futuristic/flapper vibe but I'm a size 18 and these sorts of pieces NEVER seem to come in my size. In fact, when I saw the dress the last time you posted I almost didn't investigate further because I knew I'd be disappointed. I rarely spend that much one item (though the price is more than fair) but I didn't hesitate this time. Greta was very helpful in terms of sizing advice and the dress is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much for featuring her work!

I'm so glad you got it too! The fabric is really nice. I have a thing for cupro and it's especially good in this case.
