Monoprix reusable shopping bag spotted in Boston induced severe flashbacks of my past life and sent me into an arc-de-cercle on Newbury St

@vibabe22 Yes — I see where you’re coming from. Re: the process you’re describing, I think you might be interested in exploring the history of emotion — William Reddy, Barbara Rosenwein, etc. Can talk more on the subject in dms!

Most aristocrats of the past didn’t travel, read poetry, go to cafés and sunbathe. They went to lethally boring parties, drowned themselves in unfulfilling physical pleasures, and thought cafés were filthy places filled with plebs. They were worthlessly, unthinkingly lazy

rip david hockney thank you for doing my favorite cavafy pieces

Pretty much, it’s about:

> Melancholia associated with long-distance trains
> Bialetti mornings and Coca Cola afternoons
> Vagabondism bandaged by “code switching” …
> An appreciation of graffiti and reflex against advertisement
> Taking it all very seriously

I like Paris Texas, the works of Dennis Hopper, and things of that nature because I also think of myself as being at the intersection of "european arthouse intellectual" and "legitimately insane american of the big sky west"

@primal_brainer I regret to inform you that « The Let Them Theory » is a book for the aggressively employed…

I am indebted to Satrapi for not only introducing me to ideas that have guided my personal and philosophical development, but also for drawing up a version of the world and narrative structure that seems particularly amenable to my subjectivity.

Rest in peace, Marjane

When I was 18, I sent a copy of Satrapi’s “Chicken and Plums” — with an ushanka and a Juul — from Texas to Japan to who would later be my first boyfriend. (He never read it!)

I lugged her comics to France as a freshman, where she earned a spot in my sparse bookshelf/Lenin shrine

[elli dassopoulos @angeetrange7]

Through her comics, I began to embrace what I had until then, as a teenage Marxist, understood as alienation demanding integration and contradiction demanding resolution — her work invited tolerance of plural and conflicting truths, be they political, social, moral, or erotic.

@TomDWooldridge Is it not something more akin to, “how does the Other want me to look?”, and thus, entirely hysterical? The distorted view of self which never matches up to the Other’s imagined ever-moving goalpost is what drives the disordered eating in the first place.
