occupations for an exiled wretch
As a seasoned practicioner of ‘social distancing’, there are a never-ending list of activities with which to occupy oneself during these unsettling and exiguous times. A mere sampling below:
i) partake in an opera viewing (or two, or three…) (x)(x)(x) ii) learn a new language (the better with which to summon ancient gods) iii) plan a music/drink pairing (x) iv) throw a surrealist fine dining party (for one), à la dalí (x) v) hold a séance (x) vi) peruse online archives (x)(x)(x) vii) write an epic poem viii) purchase a chateau (x) ix) plan the ideal world-travelling itinerary (food, lodging, and activities in each place along the way in painstaking detail) x) establish a secret society (password and uniform are mandatory)
I really enjoy just existing in hotels. The long identical hallways. The soulless abstract art. The weird noises the air-conditioner makes. Strange city lights in the window. Six stories off the ground. Strangers chatting in the hall. Nothing in the dresser. No past, but an infinite present.

date a boy who’s a wolf. not figuratively a wolf literally date a fucking wolf. wolves are strong and cute and have powerful jaws for crushing the bones of men who harass you on the street. wolves are better than men in every respect. have you ever seen a man kill an elk with his teeth, howl at the moon, run at speeds of 35 mph. wolves CANNOT call you slurs
people talk all the time about “primal instincts” and it’s usually about violence or sexual temptations or something, but your humanity comes with a lot of different stuff that we do without really thinking about, that we do without being told to or prompted to
your average human comes pre-installed with instincts to:
Befriend
Tell story
Make Thing
Investigate
Share knowledge
Laugh
Sing
Dance
Empathize with
Create
we are chalk full of survival instincts that revolve around connecting to others (dog-shaped others, robot-shaped, sometimes even plant-shaped) and making things with our hands
your primal instincts are not bathed in blood- they are layered in people telling stories to each other around a fire over and over and putting devices together through trial and error over and over and reaching for someone and something every moment of the way
