love watching those youtube videos where the hosts give themselves a bunch of computer viruses and then go “what the fuck bro” — we cultured people can have a little illiteracy as a treat

I have to manage my executive dysfunction largely through behavioral mediation now. When I was ill this was impossible but now that I’m well it’s not so bad. Guanfacine helps

I was on that amount in high school and never changed the script. It was def too much and I was underweight until I was 24. People didn’t know better back then

As I watched the movie, I couldn’t help but dwell on the gross hypocrisy of the show To Catch a Predator itself which I of course watched with the same enthrallment as everyone else. At a time when children, including myself, were ruthlessly made into sexual objects, the pedophile acted as a kind of tulpa or totem for what was, in reality, a societal sin. I was fourteen when the movie’s central travesty happened, when the district attorney shot himself. Where I went to school, if you didn’t dress revealingly (tight t-shirt, low-rise jeans, push up bra) you were relentlessly bullied for being a dyke. If you did dress that way you -- a thirteen year old girl -- were called a slut instead.

If you were fat, you were a pariah, fair game for ritual humiliation. If you were 80 lbs you were fat. Everyone suspected everyone else of being “a fag.” When you went to the nurses’ office at lunch to take your pills everyone called you retarded because someone found out you had ADHD. Your peers worked overtime to find some way to humiliate you, some way to make a spectacle out of you and of themselves at the same moment. Everyone behaved as though they were on TV, because TV was just as juvenile as real life. Girls went on MTV to have their bodies rated. They went on contrived and embarrassing dating shows. This was a time when peers and adults alike would talk about how your tits were too big for your age and about how they couldn't wait for you to turn 18.

I think a lot about how we currently live in the utopia imagined by the dreadful midcentury lawmakers who wrote codes like this—dominated by cars and highways, neighborhoods sapped of people and commerce, everything segregated to oblivion—and how we can and should put all their ideas in the trash

Obviously I’m entirely made of Housing but a real good zoning reform we could make is re-legalizing corner stores on residential streets. Banned by the same 1957 code that banned ADUs, so maybe that’s next

TODAY: @katewagner.wehwalt.net with new fiction. “John closed his eyes and could see in the orange fields of his eyelids a parade of white shapes and tessellations. He wondered, in his ragged anxiety, whether these were illusions and whether he was really seeing them.” flaminghydra.com/the-episode/

The Episode
One day in springtime John couldn’t stop talking and the blue of the sky seemed as audible to him as the peal of a bell, and as he walked the long Elysian fields of campus he began to laugh, at the th...
