Delighted to have this piece up with @mid_theory looking at contemporary boredom & White Lotus 🪷

[Mid Theory Collective @mid_theory]

For MTC, @harmlessfires thinks about boredom's potential both narratologically and politically.

"Boredom is a universal motor and product of social being in capitalism, yet its formal make-up contains a (negatively felt) kernel of the future."

This is really amazing. So much of the best writing just sits gathering dust in old magazines, and might as well not exist. Incredible to have this resource.

lovely harm. Leading the gentle
out into the wilds, you know they
are children, the blind ones, and
the dead know this, too.”
