one time I went over to a friend's house and their housemate was making paper in the living room, and we saw this big tub full of water they were using to dissolve old scrap paper into a slurry, and everyone was immediately like "oh, you need scrap paper?" and started turning out their jacket pockets and producing expired coupons and bus tickets and crumpled receipts and old shopping lists and whatever else they'd been carrying round with them for no good reason, and passing it all to the paper-making housemate to make sure it was suitable before it got torn up and dropped into the tub, while people took turns stirring the slurry with a big wooden stick. it was strangely ritualistic, like presenting an offering to some kind of temple elder for inspection before placing it in a watery shrine to be devoured and reformed. pulp for the pulp god.
”I have this artistic idea but not the skills to achieve it to the standard I want.”
congrats! Now you have a motif! A recurring theme! A focus for your art! Something to haunt you!
Seventeen still lives of dandelions? Three hundred poems about grief? A sketchbook dedicated to your grandmother’s house? Two books trying to unravel the complexities of familial relationships?
Don’t let the fear of it not being perfect on the first try stop you from being Weird About It!
Please view Hokusai's gradual working towards The Great Wave Off Kanagawa, over a period of 39 years.
An early exploration of the themes Hokusai would keep coming back to is Spring in Enoshima, done in 1793 when he was 33. The wave is small and there are no boats, but Mt Fuji is clear in the background, and Enoshima is in Kanagawa, so we are clearly beginning to work towards something here.
A second pass, eleven years later in 1803 when he was 44. The title of this one begins to get more familiar: The View of Honmoku Off Kanazawa. It has a towering wave over a smaller boat, but Mt Fuji is not present, and the boat is considerably larger and has a sail. But the feeling of danger in the wave and the smallness of the boat are here, and of course the general composition is definitely recognizable.
This is A View Of Express Delivery Boats, done in 1805, merely two years later at age 46. Here we find the wave and the boats almost exactly as we'll find them in The Great Wave Off Kanagawa, though Mt Fuji isn't present, and the location is uncertain. And it's a good picture! The wave is threatening, the boats are small -- but the feeling of "ocean" isn't really there yet, is it? It's unlikely this picture would have become a classic for the ages. But that's okay, there's still time.
And here we have it, a full 26 years later, done by Hokusai in 1831 at the age of 72. The Great Wave Off Kanagawa, one of the most recognizable pieces of art in the world. The boats are there, the mountain is there, the wave is there, and the FEELING is there. He did it! He reached the apex of his ongoing motif and theme!
Or did he? Because the whole point of a motif is not that you're striving to get to the perfect version of it, the one idealized image you carried in your head all along, and when it is done, you are also done. Hokusai is on record at the age of 73 saying he'd only just begun to feel like he was learning how to draw things properly, and that "if I keep up my efforts, I will have even a better understanding when I was 80 and by 90 will have penetrated to the heart of things. At 100, I may reach a level of divine understanding, and if I live decades beyond that, everything I paint — dot and line — will be alive." He had drawn The Great Wave, but he didn't believe he was finished -- he thought that he was still just beginning to get started.
And he wasn't finished with his ocean motif, either. Please check out his Mt Fuji At Sea, done in 1834 at the age of 75.
It's all there; Mt Fuji, the ocean, the wave. The boats are gone, but replaced with birds, flying with the wave instead of fighting against it. It's not as famous as The Great Wave Off Kanagawa, but that's not what motifs are for -- each successive work does not have to surpass the previous in terms of success, especially in terms of external success. They're there for you to keep playing with, keep remixing and re-experiencing, for as long as you think you have something to say.

tldr: unionbusting, mask bans, health concerns for cafe workers, historic wealth disparity btwn ceo and workers, ties to zionist entity, ties to human trafficking and child labor
tastes bad you can do better go buy a bag of sightseer coffee right now
making their cafe workers work with amorphous silica powder (food grade but not good to inhale) for the blended refreshers right now which is bringing in tons of reports of health issues. despite already having a creme based emulsifier syrup that couldve just been used instead for cheaper btw. ppl keep confusing this with crystaline silica and assuming the risk is silicosis but its not, the risk is occupational asthma which is also not great and worsened by the fact that PPE is not allowed in all stores ( x x x x )
PPE is not allowed in all stores ? they maintain vague rules around masking which allows managers to randomly weaponize mask bans, i think this is especially seen in the unionized stores. i know people who've never had an issue masking, i also know someone who quit because they were no longer allowed to mask by their store and district managers, i know multiple people who've had to get accommodations and doctors notes to be allowed to wear a kn95 unless its within 5 days of being sick, i've also seen people online say they went to request accommodations and were told by the helpline that everyone was allowed to mask per the company's handbook. it seems like they have silently changed the guidelines multiple times now ( x x x x x )
they have been union busting across the us and canada every time workers start organizing since the 80s, they had 700+ unsettled unfair labor practice charges in 2025, after paying close to 40 million to settle their violations of labor law in nyc alone last year they now have about 30 new charges unsettled since (as of february of this year, there might be more now idk)
its been 4 years and they still have not settled a contract with the union
they closed the store i personally organized for unionizing and then immediately opened up a new (non union!) one in the same location 🫠 i can give u a million stories of bullshit they pulled on us in my time there
they sued the US union for a pro palestine tweet made on october 7th over branding bc they didnt want to be associated with any anti israel or "pro hamas" sentiments ( x x x )
their chairman emeritus and on again off again ceo howard schultz is a "proud neoliberal" with a long track record of funding and supporting the zionist entity occupying palestine
their current ceo brian niccol was given a luxury private jet (for professional And personal use) and made 96 million dollars btwn salary and stock bonuses within 4 months of starting while his employees got their hours cut and struggled to pay for rent and food ( x x x x )
private jetting from cali to seattle hq is too much fr him tho so they also built a new headquarters 5 minutes from his home. again while refusing to settle a contract, partially bc they claim fair compensation will be too expensive ( x )
continuallyyyy getting caught with slave labor, child labor, underpaid labor, human trafficking allegations in their coffee and tea supply chain across kenya, guatemala, brazil, and more. they are still currently in the midst of lawsuits from 8 of the people who survived human trafficking and slavery on brazilian farms supplying their coffee, one of whom was 15 when he was "recruited" ( x x x x x x x x x )
formerly profiting from slave labor in the us prison system
formerly operating cafe locations in occupied jaffa, palestine. theres no evidence they closed them for bds reasons the business just failed over there
making every conversation into being about The Character with the same reliability and conviction of a youth pastor going “you know who else partied? our lord and savior”
