nietzsche, the gay science, section 329, book four: st januarius

Leisure and idleness. - There is something of the American Indian, something of the savagery peculiar to the Indian blood, in the way the Americans strive for gold; and their breathless haste in working - the true vice of the new world - is already starting to spread to old Europe, making it savage and covering it with a most odd mindlessness. Already one is ashamed of keeping still; long reflection almost gives people a bad conscience. One thinks with a watch in hand, as one eats lunch with an eye on the financial pages - one lives like someone who might always 'miss out on something' . 'Rather do anything than nothing' - even this principle is a cord to strangle all culture and all higher taste. Just as all forms are visibly being destroyed by the haste of the workers, so, too, is the feeling for form itself, the ear and eye for the melody of movements. The proof of this lies in the crude obviousness which is universally demanded in all situations in which people want for once to be honest with others - in their relations with friends, women, relatives, children, teachers, students, leaders, and princes: one no longer has time and energy for ceremony, for civility with detours, for esprit in conversation, and in general for any otium.
For life in a hunt for profit constantly forces people to expend their spirit to the point of exhaustion in continual pretence or out-smarting or forestalling others: the true virtue today is doing something in less time than someone else. And thus hours in which honesty is allowed are rare; during them, however, one is tired and wants not only to 'let oneself go' but also to lay oneself down and stretch oneself out unceremoniously to one's full length and breadth. This is the way people now write letters, the style and spirit of which will always be the true 'sign of the times'. If sociability and the arts still offer any delight, it is the kind of delight that overworked slaves make for themselves. How frugal our educated and uneducated have become concerning 'joy'! How they are becoming increasingly suspicious of all joy! More and more, work gets all good conscience on its side; the desire for joy already calls itself a 'need to recuperate' and is starting to be ashamed of itself 'One owes it to one's health' - that is what one says when caught on an excursion in the countryside. Soon we may well reach the point where one can't give in to the desire for a vita contemplativa21 (that is, taking a walk with ideas and friends) without self-contempt and a bad conscience. Well, formerly it was the other way around: work was afflicted with a bad conscience. A person of good family concealed the fact that he worked if need compelled him to work. The slave worked under the pressure of the feeling that he was doing something contemptible: 'doing' was itself contemptible. 'Nobility and honour are attached solely to otium and bellum' - that was the ancient prejudice!

oh yea in case it wasn’t clear i don’t use a local tts thing unfortunately
Optional - Balabolka TTS

Download Balabolka as an alternative to gTTS

This is my preferred free Text-to-Speech method. gTTS gets rate limited very quickly.
If you are not on Windows, Balabolka runs through Wine. You can configure a Wine prefix if desired.
Ctrl+K for Skin options. "FM" is my preference.
Ctrl+Shift+D for Use Online TTS Service. "Google [1] - English (US)" is my preference.

also i’m sorry but fuck you prxr, this isn’t exactly voluntary.
this is partially a skill issue that i'm just hopelessly incompetent

:(:):(:):(:):
@sillytroll.bsky.social
not a skill issue
why put yourself into a place you don't like and keep doubt/critical yourself find a place where truly appreciate your talent and that's all
this opinion is all thing I try to express in the past all the time...

meh dw abt it, a lot of the exhibits were woke trash of the type you'd expect on a college campus unfortunately. unaesthetic and uninspiring thin presentations making empty gestures. there were several that were nice though, but nothing life changing

Not being or becoming, but embodying the remainder.

This a a paraphrase of a quote from Lee Edelman's No Future (pg 24-25):
Thus, queerness could never constitute an authentic or substantive identity, but only a structural position determined by the imperative of figuration; for the gap, the non coincidence, that the order of the signifier installs both informs and inhabits queerness as it inhabits reproductive futurism. But it does so with a difference. Where futurism always anticipates, in the image of an Imaginary past, a realization of meaning that will suture identity by closing that gap, queerness undoes the identities through which we experience ourselves as subjects, insisting on the Real of a jouissance that social reality and the futurism on which it relies have already foreclosed. Queerness, therefore, is never a matter of being or becoming but, rather, of embodying the remainder of the Real internal to the Symbolic order. One name for this unnameable remainder, as Lacan describes it, is jouissance, sometimes translated as “enjoyment”: a movement beyond the pleasure principle, beyond the distinctions of pleasure and pain, a violent passage beyond the bounds of identity, meaning, and law.

the only hint i have for the hands banner is that the original unedited image, which is just a normal black and white manga panel, is titled 23523. i have another edited version up on https://anilist.co/user/DrearyWillow

@iridium democratic socialists of america. my local group was a bunch of cosmonaut neo-kautskyites (very reformist oriented), and even that is a slight improvement on the general left-liberal milieu with no real theoretical engagement. other than that there's a few trot groups around but they're insufferable
