Four posters hang on the wall: a grid of tiny illustrated trees, a striped optical-perspective print, a painting of a woman resting a katana on her shoulder against a city skyline, and a Caribou Honey poster. Below, a record shelf holds vinyl upright, with If I Could Make It Go Quiet by girl in red turned face-out, a hooded figure lit from within. In front sit an orchid, a small R2-D2 card, a framed photo of trees, and a light box reading TWENTY PAST EIGHT. A turntable sits to the right, with more records lining the shelf below.&quot; /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</content:encoded><category>girl in red</category><category>Photography</category><category>Music</category><category>Still Life</category><author>myles</author></item><item><title>Untitled Photo Post</title><link>https://myles.garden/2026/08/09/afternoon-bouquet</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://myles.garden/2026/08/09/afternoon-bouquet</guid><pubDate>Sun, 09 Aug 2026 20:30:00 GMT</pubDate><content:encoded>   &lt;p&gt;sunday afternoon, and the bouquet is still going&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://uploads.myles.garden/posts/2026/08/09/afternoon-bouquet/afternoon-bouquet.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;A clear glass vase of cut flowers stands on a cluttered table in a sunlit room. The bouquet holds two round yellow marigolds, ruffled pale-blue carnations, tall white and blush snapdragons, and small orange daisies among green foliage. Afternoon light comes through a window on the right, past a potted plant on the sill. In the background at left, a low bookshelf holds a white-and-red Polaroid camera above a dark TV screen and rows of books. On the table in front are magazines, a small devotional prayer card, and two cups holding pens, brushes, and markers.&quot; /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</content:encoded><category>Flowers</category><category>Photography</category><category>Still Life</category><author>myles</author></item><item><title>Untitled Listen Post</title><link>https://myles.garden/2026/08/08/real-life</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://myles.garden/2026/08/08/real-life</guid><pubDate>Sat, 08 Aug 2026 21:56:17 GMT</pubDate><content:encoded>  &lt;p&gt;My current jam is &lt;em&gt;Real Life&lt;/em&gt; by ear.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://uploads.myles.garden/posts/2026/08/08/real-life/the-most-dear-and-the-future-ear.png&quot; alt=&quot;Album cover for The Most Dear and The Future by ear.&quot; /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</content:encoded><category>This Is [Myles] Jam</category><category>ear</category><author>myles</author></item><item><title>Bookmarked Dirty Little Zine by Rick Vega.</title><link>https://myles.garden/2026/08/03/dirty-little-zine</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://myles.garden/2026/08/03/dirty-little-zine</guid><pubDate>Mon, 03 Aug 2026 19:50:51 GMT</pubDate><content:encoded>   &lt;p&gt;Rick Vega made this helpful site to &lt;a href=&quot;https://dirtylittlezine.com&quot;&gt;build your own zine&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;   </content:encoded><category>Zine</category><author>myles</author></item><item><title>Bookmarked What I Learned About Loss While Skateboarding at Costco by Conor Dougherty for New York Times.</title><link>https://myles.garden/2026/08/03/costco-curbs-skateboarding-genx</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://myles.garden/2026/08/03/costco-curbs-skateboarding-genx</guid><pubDate>Mon, 03 Aug 2026 19:44:12 GMT</pubDate><content:encoded>   &lt;p&gt;Love this essay by Conor Dougherty about &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/24/business/economy/costco-curbs-skateboarding-genx.html&quot;&gt;40- and 50-somethings who skate a Costco car park before work&lt;/a&gt;.

(an iOS app that will turn feeds into a scrollable social media interface), but when I first opened the app, it auto-subscribed me to 20+ feeds I have no interest in, and now the first post on the list is an ad to buy a sponsorship for their app.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I get that good software requires people to actually make money, but this is a little much for an app that hasn’t even shown me it’s worth using.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://uploads.myles.garden/posts/2026/07/11/hypertexting/screenshot-of-hypertexting-ios-app.png&quot; alt=&quot;iOS screenshot of the HyperTexting app’s Timeline, showing a sponsored post — an advertisement from the verified @hypertexting.com account promoting their “Weekly Sponsorship Program.” The ad explains that advertisers can promote products to free users with text, links, images, audio, video, and PDF downloads, and that free users will see one sponsor per week, displayed once per day. Below the ad copy is a link preview card with a money bag emoji linking to hypertexting.com/sponsors.&quot; /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</content:encoded><author>myles</author></item><item><title>Untitled Read Post</title><link>https://myles.garden/2026/07/07/witch-hat-atelier</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://myles.garden/2026/07/07/witch-hat-atelier</guid><pubDate>Tue, 07 Jul 2026 20:50:37 GMT</pubDate><content:encoded>   &lt;p&gt;I started reading &lt;em&gt;Witch Hat Atelier&lt;/em&gt;, a manga by Kamome Shirahama.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;a href=&quot;https://myles.garden/bookshelf/books/9781632367709&quot;&gt;  &lt;img src=&quot;https://myles.garden/_vercel/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fuploads.myles.garden%2Farcana%2Fcovers%2Fbooks%2Fwitch-hat-atelier%2Fvol-1.jpg&amp;amp;w=640&amp;amp;q=100&amp;amp;dpl=dpl_CCtKJDaiACoigS3hvb6Ejod2cqK4&quot; alt=&quot;Cover of &amp;quot;Witch Hat Atelier, Volume 1&amp;quot;&quot; width=&quot;256&quot; height=&quot;384&quot; /&gt; &lt;/a&gt; </content:encoded><category>Witch Hat Atelier, Volume 1</category><author>myles</author></item><item><title>Untitled Photo Post</title><link>https://myles.garden/2026/07/06/theo-vs-bird-feeder</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://myles.garden/2026/07/06/theo-vs-bird-feeder</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jul 2026 14:45:00 GMT</pubDate><content:encoded>   &lt;p&gt;He saw a chipmunk on the bird feeder once and now he just assumes they live there.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://uploads.myles.garden/posts/2026/07/06/theo-vs-bird-feeder/theo-bird-feeder-bark.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Theo, a cream-coloured goldendoodle, sits on a lawn with his head tilted up, mouth open mid-bark at a green bird feeder hanging from a large tree.
