william s burroughs

abstract. insane. gay. straight. murderer. he has it all lowk top tier writing even though it’s hard to follow at times. start with junky, i think it might be his most lucid, explore from there. also look into his life quite the figure

Junkie the definitive text of a "junk"

William Burroughs recounts his time as an addict during the rise of narcotics in the States, his writing is sorrowful and humanizing.

kill your posting anxiety

Posting doesn’t necessarily reflect delusions of grandeur about one’s influence. it’s a simple, communicative act. give yourself some credit, trust social instincts. If people had phones at any time in human history- they’d be using them.

the 3 star system ★★★

Ranking things out of three (no half stars, 0 permissible) is a valuable exercise. The limitations force one to reckon with the boundaries of language and the necessity of a respect for nuance. One out of three could be pretty bad..on the other hand, it's still pretty good.
