definitely recommend both of these! https://now-instant.la/screen and massive shoutout to jylt for unearthing them also saw Southland Tales last night - Richard Kelly's next film after Donnie Darko - total hot mess but really fun and honestly fairly prescient in kind of absurd ways. Wouldn't recomme...
xpost the bikes thread i guess, but cycling's been my main inspo for years (see: everything else i've posted to this thread haha) been watching a bunch of old cycling vids and there are way too many highlights to screencap QPkT0paGEnQ just the concept of this is fucking brilliant, great sense of whi...
started working in a secondary school so it's made up for the lack of interaction from the first 9 months of the year. don't know if I'm pushing the definition of 'stranger', but similar vibes: 1. the kid who said he really thought my hair was 'great' when his classmates were taking the piss out of ...
https://imgur.com/1p0oNqyl.jpg finally feel like i've got something worth posting on this thread on the left we've got my peugeot tour 10, picked up for cheap a couple years back from a mad guy wearing suspenders and a vest who kept me waiting 2 hours to sort the bike, then asked me to stop talking...
double post, but stumbled across this photo which confirms that the guy in the second pic is Erik Zo, who's been making messenger bags in sf since way back when and is featured in this doc (highly recommended) https://imgur.com/a62FsGKl.jpg also, totally unrelated but was watching a doc about this c...
what a quote! need to finish 1k plateaus and get onto anti-oedipus. I would think that it fares pretty well in the context of the reemergence of social ecologies, no? we invented the machine, so to be anthropocentric in that regard surely only makes sense. that's not to dismiss non-human components ...
I relate to this heavily - one way I've tried to quell those anxieties is to consider the qualities I bring to the relationship as a result of those difficulties: every relationship is two-way and you're always going to come to perceive yourself as a drain if you ignore everything you bring to a fri...
I think I've got a long way to go in really resolving this personally, but one thing I think has helped me is trying to be as clear as possible about what I'm actually asking of someone when I do choose to reach out to them limit the chance of overburdening anyone (or at least feeling that way). It'...
So about a week ago I found out a got a 90 on my dissertation, which feels fairly great. I wrote about subjectification and anti-fascism from a D&G/anarchist perspective so if anyone fancied a breezy and uplifting read lmk! I've been strongly encouraged by p much everyone who's read it to try an...
I've just handed in all my final essays at uni, so in conjunction w being furloughed I've got essentially nothing else to do. It's really changed the way I've been reading, knowing that I can do it solely for educating myself/following my own interests rather than confining research to the parameter...

I'm trying to get over my anxiety and actually get politically organised (at long last)! Feeling justifiably disillusioned with UK parliamentary politics so trying to focus more on building solidarity and community where I can, and maybe actually put all of the theory I've been reading into practice...
This is a massive stretch but I don't suppose anyone knows of anything that's been written on Brecht's "lehrstück"'s (learning-plays)/the pedagogium and how the we could read holodecks on Star Trek wrt them?
Has the tote bag been largely supplanted by the sling? I would posit: yes shocked and outraged to hear this kind of slander in what should surely be considered a safe-space for the most ephemeral form of bag. (as a user of both though, I feel like there's a level of intent implied by wearing a slin...
