Hey. Welcome to WICHITALK. site title comes from the song, wichitalk by pigeon pit one my favorite bands, and the first band I saw live after covid, on a baseball field. (My favorite song of the band is actually Love Letters but I like wichitalk on a word-level)
"You have to fill the tank. You have to move your body and get out and look at things. You have to talk to people and eat strange food, travel if you can, watch movies with subtitles, listen to music outside of your habits, go to art galleries and concerts, do things you’re bad at. You have to challenge yourself, keep learning new things, participate. And all of these things fall under the umbrella of “Stay curious.” And you have to have fun. My housemate is being fussy with me today because I am talking to the dogs in Spanish about how my father fought in the clone wars. Sometimes I am ridiculous, but sometimes he is joyless."
From a Conversation with Richard Siken
Essentially, this site is an attempt to fill the tank. Of course, that can't be done online, but the effort can be collected.
