SAL MINEO WANNABE.

I fear a lot of people learned to take good care of library books as children and instead of internalizing "leave shared community items as you found them as much as possible, because other people will use them too" they internalized "printing and binding a book imbues it with sacred energy and if you dog-ear a mass-market paperback you're desecrating the entire concept of written language"

thanks so much for finding that! going back through it, i can see that my 19yo self didn’t even include the funniest excerpts when i originally made this post. at the time, my attitude was very much “haha let’s all laugh at Zizek being Zizek”, but with the benefit of another decade of maturity and hindsight i can tenuously admit that he may have been cooking something here

and my personal favorite, with a stroke of genius from the graphic designer choosing the picture:

i would highly recommend downloading the pdf and scrolling through it yourself, with the caveat that, like, there is no clothing being advertised here, they don’t name any of the pieces being worn, it is literally just softcore porn with zizek ranting over it every few pages (which is, of course, just fine)

STOP!

You just used the term “Old Man Yaoi” to refer to one or more men under the age of 50.

As penalty for this crime, you are sentenced to watch this scene from X-Men (2000) ft. Professor X (Patrick Stewart, then 59) and Magneto (Ian McKellan, then 60), and maybe this one and this one, until you understand that “Old Man Yaoi” is about relationships with the weight of decades of grief and grievances, shared, opposing, and apart. “Old Man Yaoi” is about two men so grown that pop culture has decided they no longer exist, finding love or maybe toxic codependency. “Old Man Yaoi” is about divorcees and silver foxes.

“Beauty is, in some way, boring. Even if its concept changes through the ages… a beautiful object must always follow certain rules. A beautiful nose shouldn’t be longer than that or shorter than that, on the contrary, an ugly nose can be as long as the one of Pinocchio, or as big as the trunk of an elephant, or like the beak of an eagle, and so ugliness is unpredictable, and offers an infinite range of possibility. Beauty is finite, ugliness is infinite like God.”

idk if I've told this story on here before but one time I was sitting at my desk at work and a random dog I'd never seen before strolled into my office and curled up at my feet. and I was like oh you are adorable but what the fuck?

then a woman knocked on the door and said "oh I'm so sorry he's a therapy dog he's trained to seek out people in severe distress"

and I was like right okay, just getting my whole life drive-by roasted by a dog then
