Fragments d’un discours sans destinataire

"Christmas Spent in a Foreign Land," could be the name of this. The sea performs regardless. The warning signs stand politely. People pass through one another without collision, without consequence.

This is not loneliness. It is anonymity without injury — the rare condition of being present without being required to mean anything.

Workplaces are truly just grown high schools but I will say working in nonprofit is very interesting because women dominate most orgs and there’s a very clear way that you have to move and communicate in order to climb the ladder…it’s like competitive sport for brunette white women who went to liberal arts colleges
