The cyborg age is here and now, everywhere there's a car or a phone or a VCR. Being a cyborg isn't about how many bits of silicon you have under your skin or how many prosthetics your body contains. It's about Donna Haraway going to the gym, looking at a shelf of carbo-loaded bodybuilding foods, checking out the Nautilus machines, and realizing that she's in a place that wouldn't exist without the idea of the body as high-performance machine. It's about athletic shoes. "Think about the technology of sports footwear," she says. "Before the Civil War, right and left feet weren't even differentiated in shoe manufacture. Now we have a shoe for every activity." Winning the Olympics in the cyborg era isn't just about running fast. It's about "the interaction of medicine, diet, training practices, clothing and equipment manufacture, visualization and timekeeping." When the furor about the cyborgization of athletes through performance-enhancing drugs reached fever pitch last summer, Haraway could hardly see what the fuss was about. Drugs or no drugs, the training and technology make every Olympian a node in an international technocultural network just as "artificial" as sprinter Ben Johnson at his steroid peak.

“Aha! So the listening to music thing DOES actually help me focus and it’s not just some placebo.”

Last week I was reading about the connection between nicotine pouches like Zyn and Tucker Carlson style right wing masculinity. One guy was quoted saying, "They fear a society when a man wakes up in the morning, drinks black coffee, pops a cool mint upper decky, and takes on the world."

Now when I wake up and make my coffee with a splash of cream, I think "well obviously this means I'm a pussified liberal drone or whatever..." and it's not actually funny anymore, but it's embedded in my brain.

I just remembered, about a year ago immediately after reading interview with the vampire for the first time I stumbled upon this youtube comment under a video that was about progressive modern reboots and why so many of them suck, i think? that was basically like "the new iwtv show is a good example of a progressive reboot thats actually good, in large part because it focuses on the queer relationships that could only be hinted at in the original book bc it was published in the 70s" which absolutely flabberghasted me. like, im not gonna deny that homophobia was A Thing in the 70s but I never got the impression that iwtv was the way it was because of that. like Ive started rereading it and thirty pages in I feel like Louis just keeps saying shit to the effect of "what lestat and i did together was very much not unlike gay sex", so he is kinda vague about it but the homoeroticism is blatant enough that I dont think it was selfcensoring yknow. also, after reading the vampire lestat I feel like you can chalk that vagueness up to just louis' personality because in his own book (which came out in the 80s) he basically straightup says "i love louis the way i love my mother. romantically" which is wild of course but well. he said it not me.

okay i literally have to stop playing i'm so tired i don't feel like i'm recording memories anymore. i like poe so far, i really do like crpgs. i like my watcher and i really feel a connection to her as An OC. something that's quite a novelty to me. i hope tomorrow instead of playing for four hours over the course of twelve maybe i can actually play it in the daytime? for however long i want unimpeded by how tired i am? and within 30 minutes of me deciding it's time to? could be huge.
