was in a depressive spiral while walking home in the rain w a broken umbrella and decided to rant into my voice memos.
i think this can have anthropological/self-inquiry value bc you have concrete records outside of a journal. its also a great emotional outlet and verbalizing your thoughts personally helps me see how nonsensical they are.
also you're microdosing podcasting

Jk, but not really. It helps so much to verbalize my thoughts since I can’t afford therapy atm and it’s a great alternative to dream journaling. it’s nice to listen back and see the changes/growth <3

when people used to say “you should journal!” i would be like yeah, yeah whatever. it’s funny looking back on it, because now whenever i get a single thought in my head, i have to write it down. it can be difficult for me to identify my emotions, but seeing bits of my thoughts, written and scattered about, allows me to solve the puzzle piece that is my complex (& crazy) mind. 🪐

For those of you that hate journalling ✋ try recording video logs! Like literally just sit down for twenty minutes and talk. Can be about anything. Bonus points if it's something you don't think anybody cares about. I think a lot of us could use a positive outlet right now and for the last little while, this has been it for me! Really nice way of documenting all that you get up to, too. Life moves fast and it's easy to forget the little things

read from 2021 abt modern counterculture, rejecting tech overlords, and the dark forests of the internet
"To be truly countercultural today, in a time of tech hegemony, one has to, above all, betray the platform, which may come in the form of betraying or divesting from your public online self.”

well-written article analyzing cronenburg's films and contrasting them with today's sexual politics and lack of eroticism.
passage i enjoyed: In fact, we are not impermeable packages of preformed desires, importing our likes and dislikes around with us from one encounter to the next like papers in a briefcase. An erotic craving is inextricable from the ferment that foams up when oneself is sluiced into another. Not only is it impossible for us to know whether an encounter will be deflating or transformative but we cannot know what sort of metamorphosis will ensue if the sex is as jarring as we can only hope it will be.
