years ago I used to watch videos of this Chinese wok chef. After commenters accused him of wasting water, he had to make a video showing what would happen if the water remained still, boiling & warping the metal. He said ‘if my master saw me doing this, he would scold me.’

I’m not worried about making money from writing. I’m worried about the ghosts of Malcolm Lowry, Jean genet, Henry miller & the marquis de Sade coming around to give me a thrashing if I betray their confidence.

i asked future if he wanted to try on a coat to make sure it was the right size and he looked me in the eyes and said “boy i wear clothes every single day”

@innsmouthrain I find it fascinating that despite how insanely op Section 9 is people are still committing all sorts of crimes. I can’t wait to see how things end with the laughing man. Love Batou although he can be a bit dramatic

@absenceshell What’s your literary take?

Have been watching Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex

I don’t want a girlfriend, I want a family. I don’t want a commune, I want an international network. I don’t want children, I want to adopt an insolent street urchin who’s about to be thrown into foster care for stealing loaves of bread from the market

Assets to keep you moving forward; flaws to cover your tracks.

They are wrong to tell you to focus on your assets & forget your flaws. Actually, it’s damning evidence against what’s evidence-based; the framework itself is corrupt. Your flaws are your greatest assets—that’s where creativity comes in.

Books, birds, women will always tell you what you need to know, when you need to know it, neither a moment too soon or a moment too late

Robert Browning, “Art may tell a truth obliquely” (“The Ring and the Book”)

No one has ever been able to tell me anything. The ones who have, I received with an obsessive idolatry that was ‘too much’. An adoration fanatical, & yet fragmented; solid ground was alien to it, a profanation. In your truth I murder my own: that my love roots in nothingness.

An exciting moment: I just saw the last person I ever expected to see
