The wealth comes not just from taking objects but exploiting the body and labor itself.

That such stories exist is no surprise. It doesn't make it any less devastating to see them whether fictional or not.

Watched El Norte (1983) - Gregory Nava

I cried so much. It is a film of two Guatemalan siblings whose parents are killed because of trying to stage an uprising against landowners. Themes of family and loss and the false promises of opportunity exist under the lens of dreaming.

[Alexander Fortier @MindToPen]

They dream for a better life and try to find it north. They go through Mexico and try to get to Los Angeles.

That much of the 'West' benefits off the cheap labor and the exploitation of the Global South is no secret. It is an innate feature of capitalism to exploit others.

@sick_of_condos Need that barrel. Becoming Diogenes

[Alexander Fortier @MindToPen]

It captures this expression of youth and lost time so well, that sort of disaffectedness and impulse that if one better spend time one will regret before the body betrays us more

I learned of this song a few yrs ago. I keep returning. It is always one of my favorite songs.

A writing style is a fingerprint.

If you pay attention to the rhythms of a person’s language you can understand them more vividly than those who may learn a lot of facts yet still know nothing about someone.

Lying on the grass. There is music playing to my left. To my right is volleyball. I think there was a tournament earlier. Next to me is a smurfs cup.

The grass is perfect. I wouldn’t mind staying here.

I love the atmosphere and what are essentially critiques of a hyper-masculine world where violence becomes a language for what can surely be solved by less cyclical means.

Los hermanos Del Hierro (1961) - Ismael Rodríguez

Mexican film on two brothers experiencing the murder of their father and the destructive nature of revenge and violence. Urged on by their mom, they are plunged by one action deep into an abyss.

Deserts are prone to sensations of emptiness and desolation where time loses its face. This lends the film a quality of being evergreen.

@altrelibertine If we love someone no point of hiding it. It may not be for everybody but for the people we care about it’s fine and perfect to.

[Alexander Fortier @MindToPen]

@altrelibertine I could say it the first day of knowing somebody! Sometimes we can know if someone’s heart matches ours. Many of my longest lasting relationships and friendships I knew immediately.

I love the Moon so much. I wish I could hold it in my arms and sing to it.
