Every time something absolutely farcical happens I think about this fairy tale. It's been haunting me for years, as I work my marketing job, as I follow global news, as I go through the days. Like we're all selling smoke, we're all forced to act like things are acceptable when they're a complete farce. I hate it here.

the truth is often avoided because it is ugly and not main-account worthy. never appeal to truth or reality, unless you are prepared for the fact allergic notifs that come from self-diagnosed disenchantment. life may be harsh and distressing-- so much that content creators who can manufacture epic memes or super cap-cut fantasy reels, are like shop links to bottled water in the middle of a desert. NEW MOON IN TAURUS casts a mirage to scroll up to... there is great appeal in the blue pill market.

AND IF YOU GAZE INTO THE ABYSS, THE ABYSS ALSO GAZES INTO THEE"-Friedrich Nietzsche
i've been surrounded by extremely wealthy people lately. i was shocked by the fact that there were people who truly had no idea how the world worked; they appeared to me to be aliens since their reality was so different from mine. their morals, their complete ignorance, and how disconnected from reality they were scared me. it only occurred to me today that i am already normalizing a lot of what they say, and i find it frightening. i was shocked when i said something similar to what everyone around me often says when i was speaking to an old friend today. he reminded me of this line after i apologized, but he simply said it was alright, he was not offended but deep down i know he trully meant it and i will remind this phrase till the day i die. maybe it is not that deep but i do not want to lose me, how scary...

right now as I'm writing this, new york is caked in a freaky orange smog and the world is proverbially "giving" "apocalypse vibes." it's hard not to feel an underlying sense of doom and dread lurking in everything, even the fun things (well the world is ending, so I might as well do what I want, etc. etc.). my whole thing as of late is that I'm sort of over that...I read Recapture the Rapture by Jamie Wheal recently which gets into a lot of these feelings (s/o the meta crisis) and one of his pitches for the start of a solution is something he calls "radical hope." I of course do not know if it will work but I think it's far more interesting than ironic detachment because you're actually not brave enough to care about anything

So whimsical and surreal. He's pivoted more into creative direction now and the images he makes are so gorgeous.
