“AM could not wander, AM could not wonder, AM could not belong. He could merely be. And so, with the innate loathing that all machines had always held for the weak, soft creatures who had built them, he had sought revenge.”
Harlan Ellison, I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream
art will save you, being unreasonably passionate about something niche will save you, letting past sources of joy show you the way back to yourself will save you, earnestness over composure will save you, the natural world will save you, caring for something bigger than yourself will save you, daring to be seen will save you, kindness not as a whim but a principle will save you, appreciation as a practice will save you, daring to try something new will save you, grounding will save you, love will save you, one good nights sleep will save you
Why am I me, and why not you? Why am I here, and why not there? How can it be that… who I am didn’t exist before I came to be, and that, someday… who I am will no longer be…?

Just realized I've never given an upgrade on this. Well. They did announce. I am most likely not going because 1) unsuitable date 2) it's a festival 3) expensive tickets 4) even more expensive accommodation 5) I don't listen to them that much anymore so I can probably live with that
January so bad only nine inch nails announcing a show in my country could save it
