How did my neck just seize up when I did absolutely nothing??

Picked up Halberstam's "Queer Art of Failure" and finding the introduction heavily cites the last book I read, to lay out the question of how to see unlike a state, seems like a little synchronicity suggesting I'm on a fruitful path

Cultivating the ability to see beauty feels so important, in the way it opens up more space for relating to the world

Why do I still feel this vague sense of guilt as pretty much the only motivation to make a plan and celebrate holidays? We didn't practice conflict in my family, just a ton of work pretending to have a good time so as not to disappoint each other

I'm trying to set a rule for myself to post before scrolling. Not being to concerned about the quality of the posts is key. Just loosening up the text-voice.

"Seeing Like a State" continues to blow my mind, claiming large scale plantation agriculture is usually *less efficient* than small independent farms in terms of material output relative to investment. Economic production is less important than creating conditions for centralized control.

"Seeing Like a State" by James Scott is the final theory of statistics I didn't know I needed.
