de-empathy : There is a deafening silence here.

de-inland-empire : Can the pale achieve a human form? Can it walk and talk and dream its nothing dreams of nowhere?

de-conceptualization : It can, the evidence is here. It's beautiful.

de-half-light : You should run.

So what you're saying is that if the sex is had, it should be as debauched as possible since I'm gonna die anyway

I hope it doesn't sound like I'm implying that people shouldn't take meds, that's not how I feel at all. I just can't help but wonder how much of stimulant use (meds of all kinds really) is to help cope with capitalist reality vs to help manage disorders. In a way, it's an arbitrary distinction, since this is the reality we live in, but it just makes the status quo feel all the more opaque to me, like I can't even see what lies beyond.

Capitalism really do be making it hard to be on the right frequency doesn't it

It always feels like this sort of quandary is utterly defined by its existence in a world order that lets people who don't perfectly fit their groove starve. Like I can't even picture what the ideal substance relationship would be without capitalism to define why I would take them. I'm picturing someone with ADHD who, without anything to directly coerce them into doing labor, might just have ADHD and live in a way that is comfortable for them, bouncing between tasks and finding their own groove.

This is not at all to say these drugs are dubious, just that whenever I consider this question I wind up feeling especially asphyxiated by the current status quo.

(If I'm completely off the mark someone tell me, this topic is something I used to grapple with a lot before I personally decided against going on antidepressants in high school, and I sometimes wonder if I made a mistake)

How fortunate we are then to have the one perfect person in our midst! (It's me, I'm the perfect one)

ACKSHUALLY most members of eusocial insect communities don't toil and they just hang around chatting and cleaning each other, not even joking

Honestly I think it's worse when it's a language I understand since it makes the sing-talking a lot more frustrating to listen to for me

It sounds kind of paradoxical but being around strangers can help

the times in my life when a random passerby offered me something I needed were very powerful experiences for me

When I found out that leech saliva was antimicrobial I decided leeches are good and that disliking them is lookism

Even without a centralized brain, jellyfish can both learn from past events and change their behavior to preempt expected events.

No need to look for aliens in space when we've got plenty of them to make contact with underwater
