Dude last night was a detective novel of sorts―pornographic, scatological, and spiritual―that ultimately references the failure and success of writing
Really insightful and hard-hitting analysis on my sisters copy of the secret history that she annotated when she was 13
illusions are real
should i start 2666 expecting it to be as good or maybe even better than the savage detectives or was that [detectives] just the best book of all time which i shouldn't compare to anything ever again lest i live in constant disappointment forever

mohammed @save-mohamed-family has a new fundraiser for supporting his family to survive and rebuild their lives in gaza. he has previously been vetted (#192 on this list)
please support him and his family if you can. israel recently cut off aid to gaza and just announced that theyre cutting off electricity and power, an act of collective punishment against millions of people. mohammed has lost a lot of family members throughout this genocide and thankfully his wife and kids are ok, in part because of your donations.

I've been overthinking a lot about making art like visual art/drawing and like what it means to do it / be an "[online] artist", even though it's just a hobby and not serious at all. I feel very fake drawing no matter what the subject is because I always feel like I'm incapable of not doing it for some other, and because I tend to take more pleasure in the process of drawing itself than in thinking about concepts, because I feel like the things I draw don't really matter to me, and for some reason this was/is throwing me off a little. And i'm still very much pondering about all those things but it's funny to have all these internal discussions with myself while that falin drawing goes around here & on twitter (it's probably the most attention I've ever received on a drawing in all my life and the most I'll get in a while), and while people say so many kind things to me... On twitter someone said "i'm glad you made this" and it really touched me for some reason.
I think I went through something similar to that some months ago but wrt writing (it started to freak me out & embarrass me and i couldn't figure how to keep doing it) but i managed to go through it... (i wrote like 1 short story since then and I'm trying to work on two more things). But i think the difference is that it's much easier for me to be 'sincere' in writing because my thoughts are words and so they're easier to capture in a way that feelsmore "natural". But then why is "natural" good, or better in any way to "fakeness"/"creation"? In my writing i feel like this way of thinking leads to so much repetition, which is something I don't like about it and want to change. In what ways is "natural" better than "fake"? -- what leads me to think of those things like that? Is it artistic thought or some kind of weird inner moralism? Are those two things separated/disconnected from each other at all? I think I came to conclude that i'm just not a really creative person at all and I also just don't have a lot to say (at least not atm/not anymore [?]) Which doesn't need to be a terrible thing because i still enjoy the process (of putting words together, or throwing lines and colors into a digital program...). But still i feel like it limits me in some way, at least by making me keep thinking these kinds of thoughts (that asyou see dont seem to really lead to anywhere).

writing "characters" is individualist and writing "metaphor" is idealist we must write extensive prose about nothing in particular just outlining Concepts and progression. but also fuck poems.
if i have it my way all poems will be this under communism.
I've come to the realization i really Want/Need to hear more spanish... so do any one of my beloved darling hispanic moots happen to have any recommendations to give (of movies preferentially but also tv shows and bands are v much welcome too)
Well My Dad Read Me Ulysses As A Bed Time Story And Something Foul And Slick Idea Entered My Mind Scape
Yesterday i went on like a tour of my uni campus and it was so fun 🌞 I was feeling very intimidated by / not really connected with most of the freshmen from my major but the tour had people from many different majors too and I got to meet people more like myself. I spent the day with one literature sophomore & three freshmen from biology, philosophy and film. I drank a lot of terrible wine & got rained on but somehow today when I woke up I had neither a cold nor a hangover. I feel happy, grateful and excited...
