I listen to Real Estate, trying to imagine what it must be like to wake up next to you. Probably pretty nice; east coast humidity and immediate criticism of the waves past the boardwalk outside. This reminds me of that one Beach Boys song about being older and married and.. that’s alright.. but my god, marriage? While still sitting in bed? I usually save that for sappy night drives or at...

I don’t want to be less scared of the world when you’re here, but it’s true, I am. You make it easier to exist. You don’t look straight through me. Your stare stops somewhere between my ribs and my spine, somewhere solid and chaotic, the part of me that even I cannot understand fully. I am separate and full-enough as a singular noun, though there are at least a dozen people...

We are incredibly alone. So incredibly alone at any and every second, though we fill our lives to the brim with excessive stimuli or just enough for us to have room to breathe. It frustrates me that individuals tie themselves to places, people, and things, essentially becoming passive collectors. Little bits of the world and society sitting on shelves, rotting in plastic bags in...

What I need is the desire to be perfect. When the desire dwindles into a stubborn hope that sticks to the edges of just getting by, I notice. I notice the itch of comparison coming back. I notice the aggression to find inspiration squeezing itself up through the cracks in my attempts and forgetfulness. I need direction and distain for anything less than the best. I need self-preservation,...

Germany Fines Google Over Data Collection →
“As long as violations of data protection law are penalized with such insignificant sums, the ability of existing laws to protect personal privacy in the digital world, with its high potential for abuse, is barely possible,”
The United States does nothing to protect us from violations of data collection. I am sad to live in a country that calls themselves a democracy and exploits my...

“Maybe this is what the Mayans predicted. Not an asteroid or a solar flare, but the end of what we are. We no longer cherish life, or the other people, or even the earth or the animals or the resources put on it. War. Genocide. Abuse. Senseless mass murder. Animal cruelty. Gluttony. Greed. Waste. And lust. Look around you, the end of the world is already here.”
