can’t tell if my antidepressants aren’t working or if they just weren’t built for this. like, zoloft was introduced in the 90s it barely needed to work then. if you got sad you could just buy a house.

It’s like when you step outside and the cicadas are going nuts and you’re like “some shits going down in cicada town” but you know there’s no way you could find out what that’s about, or even understand it if you could.

It’s a shame that death is the one and only inevitability. That’s like, the very last thing I would have chosen to be the one and only inevitability. Literally the worst choice.

If we define the “Deleuze effect” as the renewed interest within English language scholarship in thinkers that are mentioned positively somewhere in Deleuze (so Albert Lautman, Gilbert Simondon, even Solomon Maimon as far as I can tell), is the current Bergson renaissance a product of this effect?

Once at school I had a teacher who introduced himself to us by saying "There are two things you need to know about me. First, if you don't give me any trouble, I won't give you any trouble. Second, I wear shorts all the time because I don't own any trousers"
