you know, they're really comfy.

I said, can I put trim on these?

They said, we only have kids working here, but sure.

Get in there.

Yeah, exactly.

Give a child some, some Lucy's and then now you're leaving.

Nico, what's so true to you?

So what's so true to me is we all need to be reading more books.

Whoa.

What kind of books are you reading right now?

I'm reading a book called Valencia.

That's a novel about a woman, a lesbian living in the nineties in San Francisco.

It's total lesbian romp.

It's very fun.

My girlfriend read it.

and gave it to me, and I really enjoy it.

But I just, I've been reading a lot more recently.

I grew up reading, I liked, you know, I read a lot as a kid.

But I find that I'm really trying to take my attention span back, and I think that, like, phones are just, have fucked us up so, maybe irreparably, but, like,

definitely in a direction and so I'm trying to take back some of that like mental energy and like I find that reading is one of the few things I can do that makes me actually sit somewhere and be like I can't I literally can't do anything else but hold this book and read these words um I find it very grounding I think it actually like lowers my cortisol levels and like gets me more calm and I also think too like I don't know I just read so much stuff on the internet or the way people post and I know like there's a vernacular to the internet but I'm like we are losing language
