exurb1a, from "Hi" in Poems for the Lost Because I'm Lost Too

Art is not for fixing yourself, it is for showing others that you are broken so they might feel less alone

“There is a kind of bravery to our condition, I reckon: brought into being without an explanation, in a potentially infinite and apparently dead universe, and expected to just get on with it as though nothing strange is going on. Well it fucking is. And it's all right to have a meltdown about the whole affair from time to time, faced with the pressures of modern existence, trying to be a good human and a good worker and a good son/daughter/parent, trying to be a good citizen, trying to be wise without condescension but uninhibited without recklessness, trying to just muddle through without making any silly decisions, trying to align with the correct political opinions, trying to stay thin, trying to be attractive, trying to be smart, trying to find the ideal partner, trying to stay financially secure, trying to just find some modest corner of meaning and belonging and sanity to go and sit in, and all the while living on the edge of dying forever.” ― Exurb1a, The Prince of Milk

There is nothing worse than to remain sober around those who are drinking.

Their euphoria intensifies, while you only grow quietly embarrassed for them.

At some point during the evening they will intuit you are judging their follies and become self-conscious. They will despise you for depriving them of the bliss of drunken excess by virtue of your watching.

The reaction is much the same from the gluttonous, rich, and powerful when one reminds them that the resources of the environment are not infinite.

They might continue to plunder, but they will hate you for bringing conscience into their debauchery, for turning the light on during the orgy.

'Why, the house was burning down, but we were so enjoying the glow…'

Breaking the Algorithm #2 - Technology, Life Itself, 'Motivational' Speaking

BIG VIDEO

Drew Gooden's Technology isn't fun anymore is a video in a chunk of new videos from Drew where he sits and talks about the things we're all thinking about the modern world for 30 minutes, and this is a really good one to start with. It's an entertaining, realistic view of what our world looks like now and the direction its going that's perfect to watch in the background of just about anything. A good reminder of just how different things have gotten, and just how much the excitement for new tech rollouts has slowed down as its started to seem like we've 'done it all'.

INDIE VIBES VIDEO

Then Next Comes is my absolute favourite exurb1a poem. His poetry has a magic to it, a good mix of genuinely funny, dry humour, and stories that will really make you feel something, and give you a whole new perspective. This video in particular has a spark to it that I can't quite describe, but I cannot recommend it enough. Its outlook is life-changing and its delivery a complete work of art.

FUNSIES VIDEO

An Interview with a Very Important Motivational Speaker is Zac Oyama's first appearance on Dropout's Very Important People series, which is my personal favourite Dropout series. While I can't recommend getting a Dropout subscription enough, this is a great one to watch for free. Zac's character, Tommy Shriggly, is improvised so well, and his life stories and deliveries are absolutely hilarious. Very Important People is such a good show that will always crack a good laugh out of me, with host Vic Michaelis' characterisation and the variety of wild improv characters she's forced to face, and Tommy Shriggly is a great introduction.

Found something on letterboxd that sounds like something exurb1a would say
