Before our descent into the state of nature, some of us really had to go to Whole Foods.

It's nice not having a following. Feels like I can breathe.

My child, discussing her favorite foods: "Hot dogs aren't my favorite anymore, but I still eat them. Ham and Swiss croissants are my favorite favorite. I love them more than you, mama. Just a little bit."

Well. I think other mediums offer a greater sense of verisimilitude, but this one is more hands-on and involved; there's a shared agency or a more convincing illusion of it.

There's something in me that loves baseline sad cultural production and still can't wrap my head around this.

Is this a bad time to say i wish cigarettes weren't so cool

Yeah, we clearly need to catch up!! Also, you know what's unhinged? Video game sadness. I thought I liked to dwell in sad dad rock & music for depressives, but then I found out video games can ruin your life in the first half hour of playtime!

Added a week on The Last of Us in my Monsters + Monstrosity class. We have a Critical Games Studies program & a lab w/a great setup at UNC. A grad student well versed in the game gave a guest talk on it and the show and a fascinating chapter ("Mycelial Minds") from Merlin Sheldrake's book on fungi.

I deactivated twitter several days ago. I think a congratulations is in order. (I'll probably reactivate after it.)

Yeah, he's not lying. I also started bringing video games into the classroom.
