“In The Deep Fall, The Body Awakes,”

Monuments Chapter 1 In Paris, frozen on huge stone pedestals, cult characters from popular culture are raised to the rank of “Monuments”. Paris-based photographer Benoit Lapray says It is a way for him to underline that these heroes of fiction are today part of the world’s cultural heritage. 

LMAO.😂🤣😅 You gotta love it, truly unremarkable inspirationals that don't tax the imagination too dearlyl!!

It's adorable. An utterly banal and concrete observation gathering all its pluck and moxy and climbing way up into the heady heights where proverbs, koans, and poetic metaphors reside, taking its shot at greatness--it takes some real sand to pose as sublime unfolding wisdom. ❎❎❎ Unlocked: Achievement Mundane.

This is the problem with smoking pot. 🚭 It badly impairs the ability to accurately evaluate or assign meaning.

🤪💣🙈🙉🙊💣😵

Damn it!

Never gonna find that talking fish.

Even though there is so much that binds us together.

It is easier to tell a story of how people wound one another than of what binds them together.

Anne Carson, from Plainwater: Essays and Poetry

As if I have the option not to.

Remember kids, the best way to embody important values like equality, inclusion and diversity is to maintain a prioritizing hyper focus favouring your arbitrary demographic based identity group.

Always loudly demonstrate your beliefs in individual human rights, person-first ethos, anti-nationalism, anti-communism, anti-ideologism , anti-elitism, anti-classism, by shaming and castigating others for failing to conform to this enlightenment which only we possess, and has forced us to always protectively act solely in the vested interests of our group in the name of justice for all.

Think of it as being part of an eternal elite Hive granting you purpose, clarity and a badge of untouchable authority. It is essential, if we are to prevail in having our truth dominate, that you see, think and act solely through the lens of our unified group's needs, feelings, grievances and agenda. If you ever doubt, remember that is your internalized misogyny. There is only being with us, or being oppressors and we won't tolerate them. Don't worry if it sounds confusing, we have it very clearly defined for you in our discourse that no one is allowed to debate.

Be proud, aggressive and fierce about it: devalue, discredit and dismiss dissent it is the hate from out-group voices who don't want us to get our way, they are distracting noise. Opposition shouldn't be allowed to be heard, it could confuse people. If they oppose us then they are by our definition, oppressors. Whatever their needs, or any challenge or question, always be swift in calling out opposition and use anything you can to silence it. Make our voice loud and overpowering, denounce them as haters, anything it takes. That is how you will have freedom to carve out entitled space and privilege for our group. Then you just continue to self-promote us under the banner of inclusive justice and equality that no one can argue against.

I know it sounds deceitful, hypocritical and impossible to pull off, but trust us, we've been doing it for decades, no one has stopped us yet and most wouldn't dare try. Demands and shaming, always repeat what works.

It's still a few days til new years. My half ass goal for the next year will be to remain up this side of the soil. Mr. Gaiman, what the bugnuts is the Good Madness?

“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art – write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.”

— Neil Gaiman (via h-o-r-n-g-r-y)

Yes.

EXACTLY.

Howard Chaykin’s 1979 graphic novel adaptation of Alfred Bester’s sci-fi classic, The Stars My Destination

My God, but if that wasn't the worst piece of advice I ever took--more than once, to boot, I can't imagine anything more ruinous, degrading, and irrevocably fatal for the soul.

Certainly if you must love anything or anyone, then do it while you are young and filled with foolish good nature and resilience. Spend both like a drunken sailor, because both wane no matter how you live your life.
