Coca-Cola
Has a deal,
Twelve for eighty
(Cents--a steal!)
Spill on coins, it
Cleans that mess,
What's that flavor?
You must guess.
The ads can rhyme. Hire some poets, assholes

My dictator of the world decree: instead of an AI audiovisual arms race, all advertising of any product is hereby banned other than thirty word postage stamps of text, exclusively posted on municipal "ad boards." Retail packaging is allowed two pantones and 10 ASCII characters

The older you get with mental blah blah the less scary and the more annoying they feel, like being regular sick. Ugh shit time to cough and sneeze a lot again, better buy tissue. Oof annoying time to question getting up again, time to think about how it'd be better for no one to know you again

On this journey through the beach boys catalog, we're paying attention to: the lavish "I got out of the Manson family and it was okay" over the top early 1970s Dennis productions ("Cuddle Up," 1972)

Tragic realization: Mike is the Paul Stanley. Dennis is the Ace Frehley. Yet Brian is the Gene

Like there is a straight line between imitation of the tape and that one chapter in A/S/L. I want the first section of novel 5, which no one but me cares about yet, to feel like that part when kerouac is just describing weird burger smells, or the part in the diaries when anaïs dresses up like mars
ACTUALLY: I have been thinking a lot about jack kerouac's VISIONS OF CODY when I was 19-20 and what that opened up for me. That and Anaïs Nin's diaries are what made me realize you could write about anything, the most mundane things, and that your style was what let meaning shine through them.

Fernand Braudel's three volume history of capitalism taught me the difference between markets and capitalism, just how old trade routes are and how much material life depends on them, and just how much trust binds up the world. And right now I don't even know if I've read any other books sorry
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

tell me about a book that changed you

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

I filled up my sketchbook last night without having one in reserve for the first time in years (I was supposed to buy one in the city today but got sad and forgot) and now there is an anxiety that nothing can assuage. Where will sad little drawings go?

Writing Prompt: take the biggest sheet of paper you can and write every weird thing, big or small, Your Character wants.

Keep going, past the point you think you've run out of weird things, until you're mad you didn't choose a bigger piece of paper

But you cannot add one now

You must just KNOW

I really need to be in therapy again like yesterday; my attempts to save money and avoid Bad Therapist Interactions by taking art therapy classes and writing a novel about therapy are not panning out

Against that: the impossible energy needed to locate and copy my insurance group no. into a form

I was really sick last week and so this is the first time I've been on a subway since we elected zohran. There are two people reading books near me and a conductor with a weird nasal voice getting on the PA to deliver idiosyncratic service change announcements. I feel something starting here

All those scenes with abraxa happily talking about her world view and dispensing wholesome advice, then slowly realizing that she's saying scary or off-enough things that everyone around her is alienated, aggrieved, tired: idk man
