  • Consumerism
    Buying things does feel good.
    It's like how you can recognize that monogamy might not be the best system but you still would rather die than have your partner fuck somebody else
    Or how you know racism is wrong but then somebody points out that something you said is racist
    Or more abstractly, it's like how you "know" that "progress" is "good" even if, when pressed, you can't exactly define what you mean by "progress"
    It's like how you know how a story is supposed to go
    How you think of time as linear rather than cyclical
    We're inculturated into these beliefs and modes of knowing, and capitalism is a really monolithic system we've all lived fully entrenched in for generations. So even when your intellect has read David Harvey and Marx and knows all this stuff, deep down you still are and will always be essentially capitalistic in your outlook and the spectrum of your pleasures.
  • International Affairs Discussion Group Portland
    I'm part of an international affairs, politics and ethnography informal private discussion group. 20-30 peeps, older crowd, public location. They have some seriously brainy speakers. Thurs 8P discussion is on the Turkish Spring. Talker is a Sr. State Dept advisor. PM if interested.
  • New Lady Problems
    Last week I was in Monograph Bookwerks buying myself some sweet art books. The shop gal's mom came in and I thought, "whoa, she smells like Nationale". Then the shop gal said, "Mom, you smell like Nationale" and I cracked up.
    OLO
    Also, do you use quotation marks when you say something in your mind?

    I'm glad my mom's pie went down the hatch with pleasure
    also glad we finally got rid of all our leftover nog
    It was so nice to eat pie and talk intensely to LT about death!!! Best Sharksgiving ever, thanks for hosting Wanda! I liked also watching Calvin laughing at the weird bros on the couch, speaking his language

  • A Safe Space for me to come talk to myself in between papers
    I checked with college eggnog central command. They said it would be ok to let us see a couple of the best sentences.

    "I'm buying some armagnac today."
    I was talked out of the two kinds they had at the store. I bought a fancy cognac and a fancy scotch instead.

    Those that refuse to accept the redemption that can only come from swallowing the Truth of Nog are damned to live in a holiday themed hell of sock and underwear gifts from their mother for eternity. We love you @Loose_Thread, which is why we want to share our Nog.
