Readings lots about medieval times and about to start a book on the Black Plague. Trying to look at history from a progressive perspective, and it's pretty bleak. Life has gotten much less violent and fearful, but all the old systems of control seem to still be in place. Environmental pollution, banking monopolies, political cronyism, market manipulation, commodities speculation, information leakers, anti-globalism, all the problems we tend to think are modern issues were going on 500 years ago. I really want someone to write a book on pre-American Western history taking into account the internet information revolution and the inclination towards egalitarianism.

that sounds great
i am really into words using the -häxa- morpheme and it's because i saw that movie about the middle ages!

all the old systems of control seem to still be in place
doesn't take much to look around and see that this is true, agree
but things are getting a little better. for instance, i don't constantly fear being tortured because someone thinks i am a witch :)

i only fear it sometimes

omg I'M into tianshe rn!!!

also bands with women/queers/poc. super fucking bored of bands made entirely of str8 white dudes.

otm re white dudes

i'm into this ONE HUNDRED PERCENT CONFIDENCE kick i've been on lately -- i have spent so much of my life terrified of being seen as queer, weird, ridiculous, etc. but... I AM ALL THOSE THINGS but also realizing (i mean i've sort of known but never really internalized it) that this is the very quality that people who like me appreciate.

also just putting more energy into looking cute/not dressing like a bum/not being fearful of standing out in any way.

like, i've done all the homework you know? i've spent years and years exerting so much effort to not offend, telling myself the lie (and believing it) that i was doing it out of some feeling of obligation to "make society better" and not merely a seeking of approval coupled with a fear of being hurt or singled out. sometimes it's liberating to be... kind of a dick!

tl;dr right now i am into being looking, feeling, being MAGNIFICENT <3

so great dude that is awesome, I identify with a lot of that, it's been ingrained get deep into me that it is better not to offend and better not to let too much of yourself be known especially if you are on the weirder side, fuck that bullshit, it has never served me well and only hindered intimacy and growth, let your freak flag fly seriously!

btw this is such a good thread

I been dealing with some of that myself-- haven't arrived at any solutions!-- but I've been reading a lot of interesting stuff incl. this terrific Adam Phillips thing

http://www.lrb.co.uk/v37/n05/adam-phillips/against-self-criticism

so far my solution has included wearing bright orange socks with maneki neko patterns, blasting acid techno at passersby on my bike w/ my new portable bluetooth speaker and cracking jokes and geeking out about anime w/ people who show even a slight interest, but ymmv

Making clothing still. Just finished a pair of Tartan jeans and turned them up so wore them out yesterday.
Not into how long it's taking to complete things, think I'm still cold/fluey. Also don't like not having something started. I have several things planned.
Watching tv shows as files from my memory stick. Wish I knew how to export from my horizon box too.
Reading the NYC cop memoir Blue Blood which is pretty good.
Also finally reading Cloud Atlas which I'm enjoying.

tetris

actually i should have said that my new favorite thing that i am into is playing resogun on the ps4 while listening to a grindcore or moombahton mix on the spotify on ps4. makes for the best game soundtrack.

whoa resogun is exactly my favourite kind of game

defender was my obsession when i was a kid. so, resogun is a no-brainer for me. and then i found out that the resogun people and the guy who created defender are working on a new game together and i exploded and died.
