Just finished: How to Survive Camping - The Lady in Chains Now reading: The Poppy War Finished two books in a week. First time I’ve done this in ages 😭 I hate to report that the bookworm is fully back, y’all 👀

Cover for Bonnie Quinn’s novel: How to Survive Camping - The Lady in Chains. The artwork depicts a slightly stulized scene with a campfire to the left and a woman running into a the hollow of a tree in the middle, with a shadowy figure of a woman that only shows two glowing eyes peeking out from behind that same tree. The color palette ranges from purple, red, orange, and black.

Cover for RF Kuang’s The Poppy War which is mostly orange and features the picture of a man from the Middle Ages (perhaps the 11th century) drawing a bow in preparation to fire an arrow, while wind blows the end of his robe.

Just finished! (2nd photo to show why I feel@it’s an accomplishment 😅) And now starting 👀☠️

Front cover of James McPherson’s Battle Cry of Freedom, which features the title and the author’s name across the top with a depiction of a civil War battle as the cover.

Spine view of James McPherson’s Battle Cry of Freedom meant to show how thick the time is. I really had to work for this one - and it was well worth the work!

Cover of Christopher Buchlman’s Between Two Fires. It shows a knight in medieval armor with a skull for a face. The background is bright red. Emblazoned across the front in medieval-style script is the title with the secondary phrase “An Epic Tale of Medieval Horror” followed by the authtor’s name.

Bahahahahahaha amazing lol I’ve been following your method but I had low-key not liked that it turned me into Rob Lowe. But ya know…fandom is what we make of it and I love footy so who cares if I have 10 different national jerseys lol Your message helped remind me of that, so thanks man!!

“Brilliant performance from Gakpo” 😭

Meme of man in suit, praying intensely with closed eyes. Closed caption text reads “Jesus, I see what you’ve done for other people, and I want that for me.”

A little over the halfway point for Battle Cry of Freedom (thank you again, @bvalentine14.bsky.social for encouraging me to read this) and feel like I’m taking so many lessons!! Have a few books already in the queue to follow-up (including a veer into horror for some reason 😅).

POV view of James McPherson’s Battle Cry of Freedom open to Chapter 17, which reads: “Carry Me Back to Old Virginny”

This one!

New pen+new inks!

AJ aka Suso’s Sky High Potential@susosudio18· May 7

Just learned someone who looks like me and whose name is very close phonetically was apparently on the news last week 😂😂😂

AJ speaking at a press conference for the LA May Day Coalition ahead of this year’s May Day. On the chiron at the bottom of the screen, his last name is misspelled as “Holman.”

Copped the new ACFC shirt 🥹

AJ wearing the new Immigrant City FC shirt released by Angel City FC. It is a black shirt with the words Immigrant City Football Club written across the chest in a salmon pink that evokes ACFC’s colors.

Shot of the back of the shirt which features the phrase “Los Angeles is for Everyone” translated into various languages including Spanish, Japanese, Tagalog, Vietnamese, and Korean.

Let’s goooooo

Someone on the subway said they liked my shirt so now you get to see it 🥹

AJ aka Suso’s Sky High Potential@susosudio18· Jan 10

Also, this Hong Dian is, aesthetically speaking, absolutely gorgeous. Aside from my personal preference for metal barrels and this one’s color and finish being right up my alley, the nib is artful! It’s black with etched designs. Might be the prettiest pen I own 😍

Close up of Hong Dian M2’s nib, which is black with etched designs along the top of the nib. The designs resemble a butterfly, but aren’t that. It’s very beautiful.

AJ aka Suso’s Sky High Potential@susosudio18· Jan 10

I rounded out my self-gifting for Christmas w a blu-ray of It’s Never Over (sobbed when I saw it in the theater) and the other fountain pen purchase: a Hong Dian M2.

Cover of the blu ray release for It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley - a documentary on the life of Jeff Buckley. It features Jeff Buckley from the Grace album shoot. He is holding his hand, palm out, against his forehead, with his head slightly tilted and facing down, eyes closed. There’s a microphone just in front of him.

The Hong Dian M2 in closed position, which makes it look like a small/short pen. It’s a metallic barrel and the color is a dark blue. It is placed on AJ’s closed journal, whose cover is a powder blue color. His journal is taped on the spine because the front cover had frayed from use/travel.

The Hong Dian M2 in open position, which makes it more of a traditional pen in terms of length. Same descriptors as in the previous Hong Dian image.

My new Sailor pen came in and I’m in love 🥹 I still personally prefer a heavier (read: non-plastic) barrel but boy does this write smooth. And, maybe I’ve gotten better at using converters but this is the best fill I’ve had. Honestly, 9.5/10 experience. (And I finally get to use my green ink again!)

Just finished + Now reading Bonus: you get to see my acute case of fountain pen thumb 😭

Front cover of Kelly Hayes + Mariame Kaba’s Let This Radicalize You. It is a mostly red-orange cover w bands of yellow running diagonally at the top and bottom. The words “Let This Radicize You” run through the top 60% of the image w silhouettes of activists holding raised hands along the bottom.

Front cover of The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates. The title and author name are emblazoned in white on top of tan colored messages that seem to cover/hide other images/messages beneath.

Now playing

Album cover of Will Smith’s Big Willie Style. Set across a blue background drop, Will Smith is standing in a white shirt and dark pants, pointing to the sky with the sun peeking out from behind his head and his shirt blowing in the breeze. In big block letters above his head is written “Will Smith.” Below him in smaller block letters is written “Big Willie Style.”

Purchased this so I can finally join my friends that have seen it cause my fave movie pod (Scott Hasn’t Seen) is featuring it on this week’s episode. Let’s go maritime Javert!

Screenshot featuring Russell Crowe in the title slide for Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, a 2003 period adventure film featuring Crowe in the lead role. Crowe is dressed in 17th century sailing gear: a blue coat with white/cream colored vest and blouse above a cream colored set of pantaloons.

🗣️ CAST MS. RACHEL IN THE SE7EN REBOOT

A photo of a box for a toy from Ms. Rachel’s line of toys. The front corner features a small photo of Ms. Rachel in her typical attire (pink headband, hair in a ponytail, pink shirt, jean overalls) and smiling while clapping her hands together. Next to her is a word bubble with the following text: “What’s in the box? What could it be?”

I saw this Arteta quote floating around and didn’t realize it was from the pre-match presser for the PSG match. The level of delulu *and* willful obfuscation of facts is truly unrivaled lol

Screen shot of Goal.com article that reads: WHAT ARTETA SAID

Before the match, Arteta shared his perspective on the challenge of winning trophies and said, "We're going to try to do this season. Winning trophies as well is about being in the right moment, in the right place. Liverpool have won the title with fewer points than we have in the last two seasons. With the points of the last two seasons, we would have two Premier League titles. So, you have to be at the right moment, in the right place. Hopefully, here we are in the right moment, in the right place in Paris tomorrow, to earn the right to be in the final."

Wasn’t sure which fit I’d choose ahead of today and glad I settled on this one. Champions of England. Up the Reds! #YNWA

Ready for the derby!! (Even though I’ll be in meetings 😭) #YNWA

Have been feeling heavy and haven’t been able to find words for why. Read this, though, and it really filled my sails and is an encouragement at this moment. Thanks @mskellymhayes.bsky.social for this and also @prisonculture.bsky.social for the entire book I’m turning to as a source of uplift. 🙏🏽

An excerpt from Let This Radicalize You by Kelly Hayes and Mariame Kaba. In the excerpt, Ms. Hayes reflects on a poem that urges folks to continue to work towards new realities. I won’t have enough characters to write the entire passage out, but it is on page 3 of the book.

Ok I need input from @audunman.bsky.social and @ej1892.bsky.social on what this might taste like lol (I *love* Voyager and am half-tempted to order this for myself haha)

A screenshot of an advertising email from Voyager Craft Coffee featuring a photo of a cold coffee bottle with a label saying Bergen. The text on the side indicates that it’s a make-at-home version of their hit Bergen Latte.

Yup!! First time doing astrophotography and kinda did it as a last minute choice haha I didn’t have a crucial piece for my tripod, so my photos are slightly blurred/moving. I also need to figure out how to manually focus. But yeah, turned out great!

AJ aka Suso’s Sky High Potential@susosudio18· Jan 2

Also have one photo that might be of interest to @mostlyinane.quest

A rock on a trail on which is engraved a quote from Moby Dick, attributed to Herman Melville: “…Meditation and water are wedded forever.”

Took the camera out over the last few days. Here are some of my favorite shots.
