The world is indifferent to us, & in its indifference we're given a sort of grandeur. We carry our homes on our backs, even as the light fades –––––– All is silent. Hushed. at rest in the womb of the sky. Nothing stirs. Languid. at rest under the blue sky.

if I ever taught film criticism lesson one would be “you being smarter than the movie is not interesting to anyone”

99% of the time, when someone accuses you of selective outrage, it’s a way of politically demobilizing you and shutting you up “Why are you angry about data centers instead of fast fashion” isn’t about making you care about fast fashion. It’s about shutting you up about data centers And visa versa
