>I've been better, I had a Thanksgiving party last night with a group of friends but I couldn't get over the feeling that I shouldn't be there for a few hours so I kept to myself for the most part. Eventually I got over myself and had a good time thankfully, now watching Eraserhead is a Thanksgiving tradition for us

fren, killing yourself was an option that I thought viable for my younger years but as I grew into myself, I realized that that was just coward's talk. Every person has the ability to rise above that void due to one cause alone: self-acceptance through sheer willpower. For me I got angry as I rose, realizing the wasteland of my mind and that motivated me further to leave that want for oblivion. Life is beautiful anon, you just have to live it for yourself.

>Fine, just going through the motions of the semester at this point and having a good time. I do really want to do some DMT soon, to see if I can "break through" or just have a really intense psychedelic experience.

If making art is what you think makes you happy, why not do it anyway? Why care about the opinions of strangers?

the sense that you want to go back to your friends is a sign that you aren't too far gone fren, this should push you to go back to them and revive yourself. the fear that pushes you away from others is part of what's causing your mind to rot it seems, so you should go against that fear and use it to fuel your re-engagement to others. you got it fren, I believe in you m8

Spinal Catastrophism by Thomas Moynihan and Critique of Everyday Life by Henri Lefebvre. Merry Christmas everyone!

I like the mag!

you fell for popular myths my fren
Ford didn't vastly pay above market wages. Worker's wage in that period was usually $2.25 a day and ford made a conditional offer of $5 a day, which was half pay and half bonus. To be considered eligible for the bonus you were forced to restrict your freedom and your wife was not allowed to work either. Ford himself only made the offer in the first place to reduce labour turnover, not so that his workers could purchase the cars.
