I do not know why the U.S. is hosting the World Cup as we generally do not give a fuck about soccer. And I would not recommend traveling here right now to my worst enemy.

so many bands write songs about “relatable issues” that don’t resonate while the mountain goats write songs about issues no one has ever experienced before that are universal

sorry but once you notice how often ppl use a southern accent as shorthand for being unintelligent you can never unsee it. classism is baked so deeply and why are you acting like anyone who talks the way my grandfather talks is stupid.

I’m so worried that the United States will launch a decapitation strike very soon against the Cuban government. What with the recent DOJ plans to indict Raul Castro. It could turn out even worse than the attack on Venezuela earlier this year.

Solidarity to the Cuban people. Their ability to resist and build is so admirable.

The blockade affects all spheres of national life. It will go down in history as one of the most immoral actions that one nation has undertaken against another, this time in a sustained manner for more than a half-century, harassing millions of people who were not even born when the events used as pretexts occurred. That the Cuban people have known how to resist and emerge victorious from this challenge will also go down in history…

Why do they keep it, then? … The real reason is not to be found in the past but in the future. It does not lie in our social system's weaknesses but in its virtues. The U.S. blockade seeks to prevent the unfolding of the enormous possibilities of developing the economy, culture, and social life under socialism. Deep down, they compliment us by keeping the blockade, although they will never admit it. They know, or at least intuit, the potential of socialism. A country that makes its material wealth grow based on the education and spiritual wealth of its people and on the equity that derives from social ownership of the means of production and distributive justice would be too clear evidence that the solutions to the problems facing humanity today are not on the path of capitalism nor in the subordination to the interests of the developed capitalist countries. Thus, they need to show that our system "does not work," hence the blockade.

Needed a clean graphic for a project, and figured while I was vectoring I would put sex and magic back in.

also i am literally always thinking about this: when people write about nature, about direct and meaningful contact with the world, they often frame it as being about solitude. that the important thing is that people are absent and they are experiencing the world as it is meant to be. just nature, wih no people in it.

this seems to me to be patently silly -- when you are alone in the desert alone in the woods alone in the ocean you are not experiencing the absence of people from nature because YOU are a people!!! the thing you are experiencing is the *presence* of people in nature!!

you are experiencing people interfacing with the world! you aren't experiencing the removal of an incompatible human factor; the thing that is revealed to you is your fundamental human *compatibility* with nature. you were simply distracted before. but you belong. you have always belonged. we all do.

when real genuine connection with "nature" is always about solitude and individual striking out into the wilderness, it becomes something by definition not everyone can have. it becomes a rare privilege, something that can only be accessed by the right people with the right resources with access to the right kinds of thought and the right methods of transportation. in order to maximize this sacred experience, one would have to remove the unwashed masses from the Sacred Nature they are defiling so that the Righteous can experience true peace.

but refocusing this away from untouched, pristine-from-human-interference Nature and towards the experience of a fundamental human compatibility with the world totally reframes the problems presented; now this sacred experience can be accessed by anyone at any time, in any place -- insofar as they are allowed to focus. it is not a matter of scouring the wretched from the earth so that the pure can experience Real Nature; it's about finding ways to re-focus, to limit distraction, to increase awareness and prioritize connection. it becomes something that can be attained as an entire culture, something that can be worked towards collectively as a society. it presents us with different possible solutions, different possible values, different possible futures -- attunement, participation, community.

some hyper famous artists like Van Gogh transcend overratedness and become underrated because they're so normalized. Like I'll look at a van Gogh and I'm like wait this really is amazing you guys don't get it
