it's interesting how copresence can feel so real without corporeality or physical proximity. i think attunement can have so many different mediums.

the conventions came from somewhere after all…

I loved the part where staff and patients did theater performances together, in which at least symbolically, the staff/patient distinction was abolished. It's strange to project oneself back into this historical moment given the force of deinstitutionalization's subsequent critique of these places.

I also took today off. For the same reason as you. And now the day came and I'm not sure how to find the tiny glimpse of euphoria I thought I would find.

@rebelgrrlraechel.bsky.social hi I just saw you’re on Bluesky and I just wanted to tell you how much I loved your book! I lived in Cleveland Heights for a little while too (as a transient outsider with a toddler) and it was really good existentially to see how it seemed to you as a social space.

rust belt femmes is one of my favorite ever books. it’s beautiful. it’s kind of everything.

cf gothy music like this tom waits song:

If we are to die tonight
Is there moonlight up ahead
And if we are to die tonight
Another rose will bloom
For a faded rose
Will I be the one that you save
I love when it showers
But no one puts flowers
On a flower's grave

tbh i don't really believe in anything supernatural, but nevertheless, the thought crossed my mind that if i were dead, i would like it if someone still played or sang songs to me.

I feel like happiness in a society like ours has a lot of material preconditions, and it’s tough no matter how one thinks of it subjectively to feel happy when the situation is precarious. IDK this is kind of my experience of it :/

I mean it's not a world that is reliably kind to almost any kind of attachment or flourishing so I feel like the loss of faith makes sense but… yr post makes me wonder what happiness and stability mean to you currently?
