AFM 3 TEST PAGE — do not publish

AFM 3 SHOWCASE — everything below this line is a component demo, not editorial copy.

The rule directly above is FEELD-15488, the article section break. It inherits the article's ink via border-current, so it works on the magazine cream and on the dark theme without a second class. Sixteen published articles already contain one of these and were previously rendering it unstyled.

Kelsey Lu: You had asked, "How comfortable are you talking about your relationship or dating?” I could find myself coming up with reasons or excuses why I was late to meet you. But then being like, oh, right, this is why I wanted to stay at my house last night instead of his place, because I knew! I had a plan! I thought about this ahead of time. I knew I needed to be home. I'd wake up, I'd have my morning routine, I'd go to the gym, I'd do my thing, and then I’d be on time. And that didn't happen. I stayed at his house.

Really? 

Was it gonna be the first date?

The word that keeps swirling around my head is... silence. You know, I haven't been performing as much lately, so when I have performed in the past couple of years, I'm learning what I need again or what I need now. I learned that I need at least five minutes alone, ideally 10 minutes.

Yeah, when I brought the dirt in. I don't know, dirt is one of my favorite things in the world. [laughs.] Soil is also something that connects all of us. Even if we don't see it.

For me, it's grounding: my earliest memories are being in dirt. My mom taking the dirt from underneath my tiny little fingernails. I donated the dirt from This Is A Test to a garden in the Bronx. Charged up dirt. I'm sure it's a luscious garden. I love it.

I'm always seeking that. I'm hoping that people feel it in the music. I just think we need modes to cope [with] what we all are bombarded with on a daily basis, how much we're exposed to, how much we're aware of and how quickly we've been made aware of it all. History and what's happening on a global scale, the way that this Earth is being destroyed—it’s happening at such a quick pace. But we all could pause, take a moment of silence. How can I make room to think? I feel like the quickest way into fascism is to feel overwhelmed, and then just have somebody to tell you how to live and how to think. 

I did a workshop over the winter at this place called the Garrison Institute with Meredith Monk and Ellen Fisher. Meredith had us do an exercise where she split people into four different groups and we all had to come up with a movement and voice piece. Two of the groups had to do one that represented “fascism” and the other two represented “peace”... 

A perfect day is when things just align in the right way. I'm talking about New York. You get to where you're going in enough time, you get a great parking space. You love your outfit. Or when I can meditate in the morning. I can do my routine in the morning. I feel grounded, make my tea, go for a long walk, read, make some music, cook for myself, cook for other people. I think that that's where I'm at right now.

On another day, it'll be something totally different. I had therapy and my therapist was like, “How is it going with friendships? With social things? Are you feeling internal? External?” It ebbs and flows. Sometimes I need to just be internal, and I can't have a lot of social time. Sometimes, the perfect day is when I'm able to see my friends and have a night out dancing, or go to Tarpit or Gush.

Yeah, completely. My closest friends are on the other side of the ocean, on the other side of the planet. It's taken years to foster the relationships that are, in a way, like my closest family, because there's been a mutual understanding of needing the time that we need within ourselves and our own lives, where it's not dependent on talking every single day in a million group chats and being each other's therapists. It's those relationships that I cherish the most because we don't have time to be in this sandbox with each other every moment of every day. But knowing whenever we see each other, it's like we just saw each other yesterday.

FEELD-15492: quote text size and page position

The five standalone quotes below are the new configuration options. Each label says which setting produced it. Sizes differ between desktop and mobile, so check both widths.

FEELD-15434 and FEELD-15490: the two opt-in behaviours

Both features below are opt-in per blok. The point is what happens when you DO NOT opt in, which the rest of this page could not show because every quote on it was already set to Issue 3.
