I got really into geopolitics when I became depressed about domestic politics and it has made a really big impression on me. it’s always good to have an understanding of the world around you

(honorable mention to Zizek’s Hitchcock anthology) but I read Jameson’s cinema work throughout undergrad and it helped me visualize film as space and how we think about art as representative

goes so incredibly hard. i‘m not finished with it yet, but it’s written in a very accessible way and every argument is logically laid out. i really enjoy reading stuff about mental health and anticapitalist critique so this is perfect. tbh reading about how mental illness is constructed as a concept was a really important part of my recovery. it’s always easier to think oh im this way because of the chemicals in my brain or because xyz event happened to me, but it was so affirming to me to read about how the way neoliberalism and capitalism in general makes us miserable lol (and what we can so about it!). and sure these things might seem a bit too radical at first but it’s actually all true imho

I wanted to understand wars and stuff but instead I got the intricacies of supply chains and banking monopolies. Also wars and stuff.

Kindness seems out of style right now. everyone seems more self absorbed and selfish nowadays. The best parts of life are spent with others or for others. the more you feed into the little voice in your head that gets angry at any annoyance the more your soul erodes. You should hold the door open for people and be a good listener. you should care about people you will never meet. Doing things you don’t really feel like doing to make others happy is what life comes down to Sometimes and thats ok. it’ll all come back around. when kindness comes back in style you should be able to say “I’ve been on that”
