Writer, artist, daoist. Going on 30. Roll 1d6 to determine pronouns; that is not a joke.

This is true. And I don't mean it metaphorically or rhetorically or poetically or theoretically or in any other fancy way. Straight up.

Those who know it to be so, leave your name in the guest book.

Tell a human to speak a wish to the air, and how often they will tell you what they *want* instead. “Want” is a self defense mechanism adapted by a calcified human ego to preserve its present state; deployed against the *wish* that expands the soul past the conditions of humanity.

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

9Head Fox @htblack.bsky.social · 2h

I don't think you should do that. I'm glad that you're here, surviving, in a world that our rulers are trying to remake in their own image.

Well, hang on, I used to look at portfolio day back when I had the money to hire artists!

Sometimes I think about how my dad is dead and then I get this feeling of warmth and lightness like when you see a beautiful sunrise.

To me it's always given the feeling of the character in question looking at the shadow his heel turn cast over his career/life and thinking - 'well, shit, what do I do now?'

I like it when my friends are into kids’ cartoons or superheroes or whatever. I try to let them enjoy that and avoid getting stunlocked by the structural fascism of whatever. I like knowing that even though my brain has been ruined by forbidden knowledge, other people are having a good time.

Three Musketeers
Frankenstein
Things Fall Apart
Tales From Earthsea
Dune
The jungle book
Roadside picnic

These are classic books which anyone can read, from across the last two centuries; each one has a message which has stuck with me for decades.

For advanced readers I recommend Blood Meridian.

Furthermore you should read classic literature, it's classic for a reason, usually because it's good and timeless and speaks to something we all deal with.

I've seen people say they don't need to read the classics because it's "all written by rich old white guys". This is wrong and makes you dumb.

If you want to write a really good story you need to be at least a kind-of-interesting person who knows some things about the world; you can't just become a good writer by reading some good books. You need to go weird places, meet sketchy people, make questionable decisions, and learn harsh lessons.

I like Stephen King’s short story “The Jaunt” a lot, but I think it ought to be classed as a novella really. It’s longer than you think.

President Trump tells reporters aboard Air Force One that he doesn’t think he’s going to get into heaven.

“I don’t think there’s anything that’s going to get me into heaven.”

(I isolated Trump’s voice)

Wisdom. Children sometimes have the wits about them to realize that cruelty does not make them better than their victims; adults, who have fashioned a mask of reason for their cruelty, never realize this.

MARXISM TAUGHT ME WHAT SOCIETY WAS. I WAS LIKE A BLINDFOLDED MAN IN A FOREST, WHO DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHERE NORTH OR SOUTH IS.
IF YOU DON'T
EVENTUALLY COME TO TRULY UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS STRUGGLE, OR AT LEAST HAVE A CLEAR IDEA THAT SOCIETY IS DIVIDED BETWEEN THE RICH AND THE POOR AND
RE
THAT SOME PEOPLE SUBJUGATE AND
EXPLOIT OTHER PEOPLE,
YOU'RE LOST IN A FOREST, NOT
KNOWING ANYTHING.

I think it was a social/era problem, is the good news. The red scare and the Reagan generation bred a generation of disinterested fussbudgets with little interest in the world or other people. Fortunately, we are past that.
