Thank you for the iMac enthusiasm, you will be pleased (or horrified) to know that I gutted it and glued on a bunch of leaves and twigs. For art purposes

powerful summer energies in the air everyone is acting strange

Barely tangentially related, but as a child I buried a bird in the back alley, and soon afterwards it was paved over. I was screaming, crying, inconsolable! How can a bird soul make it through concrete up to heaven?

will never forget the late night uber driver telling me they died so fast they don’t get to go to heaven; they just became nothing. really wish i knew more of his theories.

[Samantha 🐇 @specfictions]

@decadentquill Haha same

[Samantha 🐇 @specfictions]

I climbed into an Uber and the driver was playing Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by Bach. I've never experienced a large red pickup truck have the ambiance of a haunted castle before. Oddly cinematic!

@fweng_chung Thank you

Once every 1-3 years I’ll get a crush and it’s just carnage like you wouldn’t believe. Just listening to music at 2x speed and pacing around my 30 degree apartment, banging my head against the walls. Put me down like a lame horse

[Samantha 🐇 @specfictions]

"30 degrees" is meant to evoke a hot apartment in June here, not freezing to death. I forgot about Fahrenheit

Tired of trendy psychology terms? Try out myths and stories: Oh, he was avoidant? Are you sure he wasn't like Narcissus, failing to connect with anything external and doomed to love his own reflection until transforming into a beautiful springtime flower?

[Samantha 🐇 @specfictions]

New glasses. Maybe a little too poindexter but it’s okay

[Samantha 🐇 @specfictions]

Feeling vaguely disgusted by myself as I realize I have a whole toolkit of anecdotes I'll tell people when they're getting to know me because I generally know how they'll react to them. It's the "me" starter pack. I must let go of this.

Continuing my little blog: another retrospective morsel of float home life for thee (sorry I can't write normally when I feel that I'm being vulnerable in some way)

[Samantha 🐇 @specfictions]

The place I’m renting has a leopard in the ceiling. It changes the whole layout because I’m afraid to walk under it at night - there is a cloud of energy there that feels like decay and humiliation

[John Attridge @John_Attridge]

Classic novels simply aren't relatable. Even contemporary literature is often about things I have never personally experienced. My preferred genre is autobiographical fiction that I have written myself

[Samantha 🐇 @specfictions]

I'm trying to think of a 280 character statement that will heal everybody’s heart in the whole world. I’ll post it here when it's ready; might take a bit longer

My essay, Undead Internet Theory, is out today in House House Magazine. I write about films by Wim Wenders and Alejandro Jodorowsky, "digital resurrection", "hauntology", and dropping my phone into the ocean. 🔗 below

@No5mallf3at I'm engaging with Mark Fisher's repurposing of "hauntology", no Derrida is present here (except in the word itself... haunting it)

@bigjuncofan Thank you! :-) It's a good one. I rewatched it before writing this, but had to do it in chunks as the director's cut is almost 5 hours long! Worth it, though.
