The first schizoposter.
I've been carrying the little book of poems I Have More Souls Than One with me for almost 5 years now - it's always within reach. Pessoa came upon a method of fracturing perspective into different "authors," through which he then managed various poetic form, voiced unpopular opinions, and so on. "Please excuse the absurdity of what I am about to say, but there had appeared within me, then and there, my own master," he wrote, with the language of a spiritual possession, upon discovery of this method.
BPD boyfriend, ahead of the category.
I open the little book to a random page: "Soon as there are roses, I want no roses." Desire fulfilled is not desire, after all. "The gods do not consent to more than life." We are not separate from nature; we are nature.
Accept the dissonance of method, approach The Book of Disquiet. The consistency of the occult, through the dozens of heteronyms, should fascinate even the most faintly tuned-in medium.

My flatmate said, “he turned a ring into a penis” and I knew I needed to find this book. Amores by Ovid is fascinating yet hilarious, particularly Elegy XV which is a love letter to a mistress…
“To touch her hand thou wilt the pleasure have;
I now must envy what myself I gave.
O! would a Proteus or a Circe change
Me to thy form, that I like thee might range !
Then would I wish thee with her breasts to play,
And her left hand beneath her robes to stray.
Tho' straight she thought me, I will then appear”

currently senior thesising and as someone deep into the sex thought sphere (or wtv you wanna call it) octavio paz has easily the most interesting (and an my opinion) correct theory of sex and love. if you liked bell hooks all about love you’ll enjoy paz, his poetry is pretty good too

Finally a media product honest about the psychosexual trauma and deranged generational entitlement of millennials. The Fielder-Safdie meetup bridges the confounding cinéma vérité of the former with the disconcerting aesthetic of the latter. To be sure, I'd call this a "drama;" but, as is the case with the auteurs here, the blurring of "reality" with "fiction" ends up presenting a truth larger than the sum of its parts. Well-meaning liberals gentrify the frontier, while excusing themselves from the shitty and destructive behavior that they knowingly partake in. Emma Stone is truly un-believable, an uncanny powerhouse. There's no boundary here, in the Derridian sense: you are at fault as you watch, especially when Nathan shows us his tiny, tiny, tiny little dick. "It's not a big deal and I'm not insecure about it."
