"Do it scared" is out. "Do it in a fugue so dense as to barely be penetrable by uncertainty" is in.

on the one hand, I'm really enjoying the pendulum swing away from minimalism and towards the kitschy, colorful 70s vibes with all the wavy lines and bubble letters. it's fun. on the other hand it's not really kitschy. it still seems very influenced by minimalism. the color palette is a little too careful, the tchotchkes in the coffee shops are too selectively chosen and placed. you can have one little molded glass rooster next to this weirdly shaped but still very elegant ceramic vase. tee hee isn't that so cute and quirky. it reminds me of Chris Fleming "those aren't freaks, those are attractive people with carefully vetted idiosyncrasies"

About ten years ago I decided that the next step I needed to take in my life was to accept and explore what it meant to be a failure and to have failed. This infuriated almost everybody in my life and clearly terrified a lot of people. People do not want you to accept failure. They dont want you to like... Sit with and think about it and pick it up and turn it arpund in your hands and really examine it. They want you to keep throwing yourself against the impossible walls until your body explodes! They do not want you to say "alright then, I've failed. What does that mean for me? Im still here. What does the life of someone who has failed look like?"

This makes people very angry and panicky.

My mental health improved in ways it had not in the previous DECADE once I stopped. And. Sat. With failure. And thought about what my failure ... Was. And looked at the structures that produced it and examined them critically.

It is so taboo to fail and admit it openly and talk about it. It is so taboo to talk about or think about failure in an accepting way rather than hiding it shamefully until you experience a degree of success in some area which allows you to present the past failure as "a stepping stone" to your current situation. Fuck that. We are put in positions of guaranteed failure by society every day and then punished and shamed for it. Lets fucking talk about failure

maybe its because im an asylum seeker but i am of the opinion that even if immigrants and asylum seekers contributed nothing to a nation that nation should not have the right to deport them.
