I rant about my morning routine and the nuclear family.
I don't think we can do it, sadly. And as logically. And as expected.
I had an epiphany (a bit late) last Saturday (30 May). I can't wait to share it!
Dichotomies and 'invisible walls' don't matter at atll.
Individuals don't matter at all.
I talk about how the true unit of the world is an incorporated business.
Basically moaning about the scammy nature of the world and the rejections. :(
Originally titled: "Was my mother's suffering worth it?" but felt like it might have been too melodramatic.
David Foster Wallace: This is Water
Fyre Festival
Also known as, my Anti-Love Campaign
Or Why I'm against 'work-life balance'.
'Capitalism' is a hoax, and 'patriarchy' is a hoax. But the worst of them all: Love.
The society has come up with new ways of counteracting the menace for working for a corporation or working at all, which is to posit the family as the solution.

I discuss the whole concept of 'intelligence' and if it even means anything. i think it doesn't.
The book I mentioned: Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go
[spoilers!]
The concept: the main characters are 'clones' who were brought to life to have their organs harvested.
At school, they had a 'gallery', where the best art is displayed. They took it seriously.
Some had a theory that students who can prove they're in love can get a 'deferral', so have a couple of years together before going for the donation.
Tommy, one of the main characters, thinks that the art in the gallery shows their souls... and souls reveal whether you're truly in love.
They went back to the headmaster, who told them, "The gallery is just to see if you have souls at all."
special episode!
I moan and rant about my life, then wonder if I'm just stupid.
Enjoy, if you can.

A very convoluted sentence I somehow managed to write in this episode,
"It’s extremely difficult to depict sex where you’re given to understand the complex internal connection of their souls because if the working of their souls could be verbalised, it’s not possible to contain it in the very banal scene of sex."

The quote by Toni Morrison:
“The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being. Somebody says you have no language and you spend twenty years proving that you do. Somebody says your head isn’t shaped properly so you have scientists working on the fact that it is. Somebody says you have no art, so you dredge that up. Somebody says you have no kingdoms, so you dredge that up. None of this is necessary. There will always be one more thing.”
-Lecture in Portland, Oregon, 1975
I talk about what we talk about when we talk. A bit of Scotland, a bit of Sally Rooney. And disappointments in life.
I think this might be my best episode and year yet.
Books mentioned: Normal People, Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney
And Hemingway.
Places mentioned: Glasgow and Edinburgh
The supposedly famous quote in Normal People the show: "It's not like this with other people."
The real juicy bit is: "I'm literally still inside you."
I do maintain that Sally Rooney's work is 50% porn for women.

"Junk is a cellular equation that teaches the user facts of general validity. I have learned a great deal from using junk: I have seen life measured out in eyedroppers of morphine solution. I experienced the agonising deprivation of junk sickness, and the pleasure of relief when junk-thirsty cells drank from the needle. Perhaps all pleasure is relief. I have learned the cellular stoicism that junk teaches the user. I have seen a cell full of sick junkies silent and immobile in separate misery. They knew the pointlessness of complaining or moving. They knew that basically no one can help anyone else. There is no key, no secret someone else has that he can give you.
I have learned the junk equation. Junk is not, like alcohol or weed, a means to increased enjoyment of life. Junk is not a kick. It is a way of life." -Junky, Prologue (by William Burroughs)

I give a new theory on feminism and my new perspective of it. I explain what is "unfeminist," a "Mario" way of thinking, a "relationship-based" of thinking. I also explain what is my version of feminism and why it's important to live in a feminist matter.
Really triggered recently and started reading the book, Set boundaries, find peace by Nedra Glover Tawwab
