i don't believe in the romantic/platonic divide and i don't want to be anyone

"want to be with" x "want to be" graph
"everyone else" on the far left, spanning the range of "want to be with" and all the way negative on the "want to be" scale
willow pfp in the center

1. the concept of a pair 2. pair scarcity 3. preference orders 4. scope limitations (including but not limited to gender)

i have a poor grasp on time right now

i go to work in an artificially lit box, and i come home to a dark box because anything else is overwhelming. i don’t sleep.

beyond the day-to-day, i completely lack a sense of seasonality. future events are not experienced with anticipation, merely the knowledge that landmarks will someday emerge from the muddy lake i’m swimming in

@mdma.rat.mom come look

nerdsniping me like this is evil because it inspires a bunch of sprawling, indeterminate reflection across twenty related themes

a younger me would abnegate all responsibility and declare this the month of critical taste cultivation, emerging weeks later with an unwieldy and unreadable blog post after obsessively devouring books and films and music and visual novels

(this is a lie, because i would absolutely lack the discipline to crystallize a thesis and certainly wouldn’t proleptically declare my project)

Art’s inescapable affirmative essence has become insufferable. Art must turn against itself, in opposition to its own concept, and thus become uncertain of itself right into its innermost fiber.

you wanna read adorno sooooo bad

adorno, the culture industry, 32. on the fetish character of music

But what are emancipated from formal law are no longer the productive impulses which rebelled against conventions. Impulse, subjectivity and profanation, the old adversaries of materialistic alienation,
now succumb to it. In capitalist times, the traditional anti-mythological ferments of music conspire against freedom, as whose allies they were once proscribed. The representatives of the opposition to the authoritarian schema become witnesses to the authority of commercial success. The delight in the moment and the gay façade becomes an excuse
for absolving the listener from the thought of the whole, whose claim is comprised in proper listening. The listener is converted, along his line of least resistance, into the acquiescent purchaser. No longer do the
partial moments serve as a critique of that whole; instead, they suspend the critique which the successful aesthetic totality exerts against the flawed one of society. The unitary synthesis is sacrificed to them; they no longer produce their own in place of the reified one, but show themselves complaisant to it. The isolated moments of enjoyment prove incompatible with the immanent constitution of the work of art

also hit up my boi nietzsche, sometimes he feels more fitting and insightful by addressing the issue less directly than adorno. sometimes the temporal and cultural familiarity of the conditions adorno is speaking to feel almost too close for me, if that makes sense. depends on the mood

they’re not worried about not being affirmative, they’re happy to be completely negative. that’s one of the things they hated most about the united states. they go to the united states and the first thing they’re confronted with is people telling them to keep smiling all the time, people telling them to keep smiling all the time. brecht at one point says “it’s really exhausting to live in this country. everyone’s always telling me to keep smiling but sometimes i prefer to be depressed and look in the air and not do anything” and so they have no objection of the schopenhauerian view that the world - the world as we live in - is basically a horrible place

lmfao thank you pinksky for posting this reply

!!! yes absolutely, so much gender. it’s interesting because the constant masculine references feel almost forced, like desperately begging the audience

for big strong alphas such as myself, this is of utmost concern

The relation of labor to the act of production within the labor process: activity as suffering, strength as weakness, begetting as emasculating, the worker's physical and mental energy as an activity which is turned against him, independent and not belonging to him. Here we have self-estrangement.

i can think of another solution
