Want to know where Hegseth got this hypermasculine and toxic ethos? Look no further than Doug Wilson, the self-proclaimed Christian nationalist and spiritual advisor to the Secretary of Defense.

Trying to be brave and add a little paint when I’m assembling these little collages. From a series in which each piece includes a fragment from a 1930s children’s textbook. 4” x 4” collage on canvas panel.

Square collage assembled from magazine and catalogue scraps in hues of metallic gold and red , plus some mulberry paper and a ticket to a public pool. Images include a a sliver of a watch and the textbook fragment which reads “a mistake he sometimes makes”. Canvas is painted light gold with antique gold markings.

This sums up my own experience in recent years. My theory is that there are so many genuine existential crises right now that people's instinct is to treat even low-stakes issues (movies! fandoms! personal preferences!) like existential crises. Makes having a normal conversation almost impossible.

I Blame the Planets,

though I don’t understand them, even poor relegated Pluto, who has vanished from the old mnemonic memory song so that now My Very Educated Mother Just Serves Us Noodles instead of Nine Pizzas. No matter. Astrologers say that those bulbous spheres are at fault for all my troubles. Who am I to argue when my car’s battery dies beneath a flock of shitting pigeons on a cold day and the windows fog from the steam of my breath while I wait for a tow truck? I curse those damn globules of gas and rock until I remember how lovely Earth looks from space, its oceans and cloud garments, its swirling. I can’t stay mad for long, at least at Earth. Or Mercury. I wish it would clap back, rain asteroids on our heads every time someone says retrograde to explain their misfortunes. It’s not Mercury’s fault, hung on the sky like an ornament, gazing out at its backyard of stars. I understand what it’s like—to take the blame, to have no voice.

Wow. The matter-of-fact depiction of the way older American workers have to essentially become healthcare systems experts/insurance policy researchers to try to estimate how to best survive the next decade(s) until they can access Medicare in the event they lose their employment. Are we great yet?
