Adult realization: you will make mistakes, you will act irrationally. You will commit some wrongs that cannot be fully righted. People will dislike you and misunderstand you for all sorts of reasons. None of these make you a bad person. All you can do is try your best to be kind and just to people, grow and learn.

it’s a messy mess, not just a regular mess.

I’m really lucky to be doing okay at the moment - I’m in an area that is minimally impacted by coronavirus, I’ve got a secure job and secure home environment. My thoughts go out to everybody who is struggling at the moment. My inbox is always open and I have lots of love to give ❤️

That strange feeling of longing when you are at a train station, in a 24/7 open market, when you are buying a coke from a vending machine, watching the city lights glow from your window, when you're walking aimlessly on a busy street after 5 pm, that feeling as if something is missing in your life and it will never come back although it was never there in the first place; that inexplicable urban sadness.

This is an actual thing in anthropology and urbanism guys!

Marc Auge explained how when we shifted from modernity to what he calls "supermodernity" we ended up creating "non-places". They're the opposite of place, as in they're places with no real identity, and have no real emotional connection with the users. They're there to fulfil a specific need and that's it. It's places like gas station, metro station and supermarkets, places where you go and you feel so detached, like everything is out of place. (The name of the book is "Non-Places: Introduction to an Anthropology of Supermodernity" it's really interesting)

Rem Koolhaas also has a similar concept called Junkspaces, which are basically spaces that are born out of a capitalistic lifestyle, where everything is about selling and being bigger and more. Like malls and airports, and most big buildings. It's places that are empty, that tend to cut you off from the outside world and have no real connection to the users other than functionality. He also talked about the struggle of identity and city planning in Asian cities specifically in his essay "the generic city" and talks about how a lack of identity can lead to "empty" cities and this "urban sadness" op was talking about

life gets so much better when you realize that there are no rules. you don’t have to get your license at 16 if you don’t want to. you don’t have to date anyone in your teen years if you don’t want to. you don’t have to move out in your early 20s if you don’t want to. you don’t need to go to any social gathering that you’re not in the mood to go to. and you don’t owe anyone an explanation. sometimes you don’t wanna do something just because you... don’t wanna do it. that’s it. live your life how you wanna live it.

sure he’s well versed in leftist theory but does he do the dishes

this is such a succinct critique of male leftists who think of it as theory only & won’t even get off their ass to clear the table

She Divorced Me Because I Left Dishes by the Sink

I remember my wife often saying how exhausting it was for her to have to tell me what to do all the time. It’s why the sexiest thing a man can say to his partner is “I got this,” and then take care of whatever needs taken care of.

I always reasoned: “If you just tell me what you want me to do, I’ll gladly do it.”

But she didn’t want to be my mother. She wanted to be my partner, and she wanted me to apply all of my intelligence and learning capabilities to the logistics of managing our lives and household.

She wanted me to figure out all of the things that need done, and devise my own method of task management.

I wish I could remember what seemed so unreasonable to me about that at the time.

It’s not just about equal division of labor. It’s also about, “this thing is important to her. If he ignores it, he’s saying that what she wants is irrelevant to him.”

And that’s a guy saying, “I’m only spending time with you because it’s pleasant for me.” He’s already decided what’s “really” important, and her input is not welcome.

If he won’t do the dishes and laundry, he’s looking for fun, not a partnership. And his “leftist” ideals will be the same–something he studies because it’s interesting to him; a form of activism that he thinks will bring him a better life. If he can’t do household tasks that matter to a person he loves, he sure as hell can’t support policies that help people whose struggles he doesn’t even acknowledge are real.

LET’S LOOK AT THIS MONEY SHOT RIGHT HERE ONE MORE TIME:

I always reasoned: “If you just tell me what you want me to do, I’ll gladly do it.”

DEAR FUCKING GAWD THIS IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT DETAIL. STOP WAITING FOR ME TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO. KNOW THAT YOU NEED TO DO IT BECAUSE YOU FUCKING LIVE HERE TOO, AND YOU’VE SEEN IT DONE DAILY FOR A DECADE.

Another day of breakfast at my desk

Rushed notes and rough drafts before I go off to work

Take A Chance On Me by ABBA 🎧

Wednesday, June 24 // Definitely odd to start studying at cafes again.

Music 🎶: Golden Hour - Kacey Musgraves. Breezzy and sweet. This is the first song I listened by her - I clicked on it by accident but her voice completely melted on me. Perfect for the bike rides after studying.
