listen it's a chemical imbalance in your brain. not a socially constructed category. it is inherent in your very being. it is who you are.
Shift work sleep disorder (SWSD) is a circadian rhythm sleep disorder characterized by insomnia, excessive sleepiness, or both affecting people whose work hours overlap with the typical sleep period. Insomnia can be the difficulty to fall asleep or waking up before the individual has slept enough.[1] About 20% of the working population participates in shift work. SWSD commonly goes undiagnosed, and it is estimated that 10–40% of shift workers have SWSD.[2][3] The excessive sleepiness appears when the individual has to be productive, awake and alert.[1] Both symptoms are predominant in SWSD.[4] There are numerous shift work schedules, and they may be permanent, intermittent, or rotating; consequently, the manifestations of SWSD are quite variable. Most people with different schedules than the ordinary one (from 8 AM to 6 PM) might have these symptoms but the difference is that SWSD is continual, long-term, and starts to interfere with the individual's life.[1]

THE SEXUAL POLITICS OF AIR CONDITIONING
CHEAP COLD AIR
Nothing captures the rising cultural cachet of air-conditioning like The Seven Year Itch, a 1955 comedy directed by Billy Wilder. Ihe film includes one of the most iconic Hollywood images of the twentieth century: Marilyn Monroe standing over a subway grating in Manhattan, her dress blown up around her waist by the rush of air from a passing train.
In the opening scenes of the movie, New York City is in the middle of a scorching heat wave. Women and children are fleeing the city for refuge upstate and at the beach, leaving their hardworking husbands behind to toil in the city.
Monroe plays a single woman who is happy to stay and battle the heat. The first time she appears on-screen, she is carrying a big fan up the stairs into her apartment. When her neighbor, a repressed, sex-obsessed family man played by Tom Ewell, jokes about the heat, she quips, "I keep my underwear in the ice box." The only attractive thing about Ewell is his air-conditioned apartment. He uses it to entice Monroe to visit, boasting that he has air-conditioning in every room.
In one scene, Wilder shows Monroe sitting with her long bare legs stretched out in front of an air-conditioning unit. At that moment, AC became sexy.

Thinking about this bit from Benjamin again
 
 
 	
"We need history, but not the way a spoiled 
loafer in the garden of knowledge needs it."
 
 	
Nietzsche, Of the Use and Abuse of History
 
 	 	 
 	Not man or men but the struggling, oppressed class itself is the depository of historical knowledge. In Marx it appears as the last enslaved class, as the avenger that completes the task of liberation in the name of generations of the downtrodden. This conviction, which had a brief resurgence in the Spartacist group,* has always been objectionable to Social Democrats. Within three decades they managed virtually to erase the name of Blanqui, though it had been the rallying sound that had reverberated through the preceding century. Social Democracy thought fit to assign to the working class the role of the redeemer of future generations, in this way cutting the sinews of its greatest strength. This training made the working class forget both its hatred and its spirit of sacrifice, for both are nourished by the image of enslaved ancestors rather than that of liberated grandchildren.

if you get tired of overinterpreting symbols be sure to go outside & look at non-symbolic phenomena until they become imbued with associative meaning for you. thats a type of symbolic meaning. better start interpreting

INCARNATIONS

Do not deny,
Do not deny, thing out of thing.
Do not deny in the new vanity
The old, original dust.
From what grave, what past of flesh and bone
Dreaming, dreaming I lie
Under the fortunate curse,
Bewitched, alive, forgetting the first stuff...
Death does not give a moment to remember in
Lest, like a statue’s too transmuted stone,
I grain by grain recall the original dust
And, looking down a stair of memory, keep saying:
This was never I.

"Some people have suggested draining wetlands to control mosquitoes, thinking that if there is no standing water, there will be no mosquitoes. The truth is that a drained area may actually produce more mosquitoes than it did as a wetland!" www.ocontocountywi.gov/DocumentCent...
Restoring wetlands can help reduce West Nile Virus risks
Restoring wetlands decreases mosquito populations by providing proper habitat for the natural enemies of mosquitoes, and by preventing or reducing flooding in areas that aren’t normally wet and thus support
mosquitoes but not their predators. When the Essex County Mosquito Control Project restored a 1,500 acre wetland in Massachusetts, the mosquito population dropped by 90 percent. Experts there know that wetland restoration is synonymous with genuine mosquito control. So by restoring degraded wetlands, we really can do
ourselves a big favor!

lot of talk about the relational self — helpful, about the social bonds that shape us — wants to focus on the good, loving friends & images of a gentle ecology, or badness long past, wounds which remain but are functionally "us", which elides the fact that to know yourself you must know your enemies

SO SLIGHT

It was as near invisible
As night in early dusk.
So slight it was,
It was as unbelievable
As day in early dawn.

The summer impulse of a leaf
To flutter separately
Gets death and autumn.
Such faint rebellion
Was lately love in me.

So slight, it had no hope or sorrow,
It could but choose
A passing flurry for its nuptial,
Drift off and fall
Like thistledown without a bruise.

Take hands.
There is no love now.
But there are hands.
There is no joining now,
But a joining has been
Of the fastening of fingers
And their opening.
More than the clasp even, the kiss
Speaks loneliness,
How we dwell apart,
And how love triumphs in this.
