How far will the burning man crowd will eventually go right?
Speaking as someone who’s lived and moved in hippy-adjacent spaces for most of my life: the hard truth that you should not trust most new age people as far as you can throw them

Her: "but he's so short though."
Me: "um how tall are you?"
Her being dismissive: " I get it, colonialism." And then pushed the conversation somewhere else ignoring me.

for my EOY essay, i wrote about k-pop (a thing i love), its industry (a thing i loathe) and the search for where one begins and the other ends as america becomes the new measuring stick www.npr.org/2024/12/23/g...
