Mister Wren said something about Anaïs Nin getting annoying.. I really like to read H. Miller when I'm pissed off, forlorn, empty. I guess I find Henry Miller more annoying than his female. Nin at least composed stories maybe akin to the Arabian Nights... but anyway, they're a real hippy couple. They remind me of my rents. It didn't seem like they had too much tension they were dealing with, but just ease and luxury. I don't know them that well. 

My fire's burned out. I couldn't care even a whit less. I linger by waiting for anything to change, I've tried to make that change, it's still never too late to tie up the bootstraps and humor my sniffer in a grinder. Olfactory is my weakest sense anyway, and I could take it or leave it. Amusing anecdote is, Hey! the world isn't really as shitty as it appears, it's just circumstances that get some of us there. The jungles still green and bushy, it's only the dying city, the loss of better things to do. Because you know it's not population demand that's going to roll into our diffusion and inevitable extinction, right? It's the failure to move forward that's going to do it. I was sentimental about simpler times, but we need a president whose gonna downplay her cool, she has a level head and a clear conscience, the purist, bossest bitch to run. Kamala.

"There are things one reads that make you aware that you have lived nothing, felt nothing, experienced nothing up to that time."

Other than that, everything isn't complete shit. 'I felt a dilation of the whole universe.' The outlook is potentially very dismal with a spike in mutilated fetuses. I'm sure not having sex either way, but I care about the women-folk. It's about more than that, T-fagg wrote the manifesto himself: 900 pages of a whiney man who hates democracy. I vote for compassion, and genuine leaders that aim to protect us. T-bagg is a cringey Billious pimp-daddy with a toupee and a bug in his ass 

I made this about politics instead of me. (Sometimes I don't completely want to die...)
