love is never wasted for its value does not rest upon reciprocity

[fuck @sorrymoom]

La romantización de la "salud mental" en redes nos está vendiendo la idea de que sanar es tomar café en tazas lindas y escribir en un diario, cuando en realidad "sanar" es un proceso asqueroso, violento, solitario dónde eres tú peleando con tu mente

German philosophy: Being-in-and-for-itself-in-the-world-intuition

English philosophy: The "Magpie" Paradox

French philosophy: This is actually a concept called "Fromagiqué" which describes the uniquely continuous state of anxiety panopticonic capitalism creates

Desconfío menos de las contradicciones que de los malabarismos intelectuales destinados a fingir que no existen. La pureza suele exigir más artificios que la honestidad. Las contradicciones son más humanas que esa necesidad de justificar cada placer con un discurso sofisticado.

You are not a machine. You are more like a garden. You need different things on different days. A little sun today, a little less water tomorrow. You have fallow and fruitful seasons. It is not a design flaw. It is wiser than perpetual sameness.

hola estimades @optimotcat , si parlem de quan una mare estava gestant un fill, i ens dirigim a aquest fill, diríem "estava embarassada DE tu" o "estava embarassada AMB tu"? "De tu" pot confondre's amb el pare de la criatura. O hi ha una expressió millor? gràcies <3

the hottest and most intelligent way to exist is to take your work brutally seriously and yourself playfully unseriously.

every time i read sylvia plath’s journals i’m reminded of anthony bourdain — these two famous examples of suicide are so far from classic “melancholics.” they’re actually both passionately obsessed with life and were ultimately defeated by a world possessed by the death drive

In a letter to Georges de Lauris, who has just lost his mother, Proust writes:

“There is one thing I can tell you now: you will know a sweetness that you cannot yet conceive. When you had your mother you thought a great deal about the days when you would no longer have her. [+]

nobody ever applies this argument to any other academic field of study besides humanities and social sciences. why should all theory have to be written for complete novices, and why should novices not be expected to broaden their vocabulary?

[Naomi Rohatyn @omibaloney]

Every time I tell someone I’m a screenwriter they go “I have an idea for a movie!” Yeah me too bozo, about a million of ‘em. There’s a reason you can’t copyright ideas, only their EXPRESSION. Prompting is not writing. Writing is writing. Writing is hard, and that’s why it matters

“The abyss doesn’t divide us.
The abyss surrounds us.”

[Natural Philosophy @Naturalphilosy]

“The problem is no longer getting people to express themselves but providing little gaps of solitude and silence in which they might eventually find something to say.”

— Gilles Deleuze
