This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in LONG PULLS
“Alright, this suggestion might be an odd one but it’s something I think more people (especially us younger folk) should be doing. Go talk to your parents and grandparents and learn from their life stories.”
The Canadian election is October 21st, and since HI54 is a Canadian blog, I figured I'd break down our 🇨🇦 political parties by their best American comparisons.
“So even if you’re not ready to retire your ‘so much for global warming’ bit for a few more winters, at the very least, we all have to be ready to agree on no longer wanting to be a pushover minion for the extremely wealthy. We need to stop arguing amongst each other on their behalf. Against our own interests.”
“Pay more attention to birds. Birds are gateways to presence and presence is happiness.”
“Also, cycling - me and my best friend kick about on our bikes like we're 10 - just when ya hit 30, you can afford a slightly sexier bike, but it's pretty much the same thing as to when you're younger. We still pull the same skids.”
“Life doesn’t need to work as stupidly as we keep letting a very small percentage at the top continue to sell it to us. Please vote accordingly.”
“Read (and write) more poetry! I feel like poetry can sometimes be looked on negatively, especially since I think a lot of people see it as something kind of pretentious, but it’s actually so lovely!”
“Doing: organized games with friends (I like ping pong, tennis). Using: the ‘do not disturb’ feature on your phone while you sleep. Thinking: nice things about your friends and telling them. Eating: kimchi.”
“Elevate your legs for at least 10 minutes a day. Helps relieve stress, improve circulation, and boost your mood. I've also had a lot of revelations when doing this so I equate it to a gentle high.”
“Everyone should dedicate one full day, or perhaps a section of each day, where they do not touch their phones at all and leave them aside on airplane. This could minimize the intensity of the ensuing zombie apocalypse. This could help people slow down in an unnecessarily intense society.”
“I have a one-and-a-half year old son now, and laying flat on the floor with him drawing with crayons is nice. Neither of us are very good (yet!) but apart from doing what you can to save the world and being kind to your fellow man I suggest you take up doodling every now and then in the afternoon while eating watermelon.”
