People are talking abt the differences btw now and '68: One notable difference (that imho needs analysis) between '68 and '24: masks vs the unmasked. In '68 everyone showed their face. The willingness to be identified no matter the consequences…vs '24...to escape without them?

Congratulations to Ross Barkan

no matter what, The Music of Chance is a good (creepy) book and so is the film

i'm bored. nothing of interest to me is happening. pretty sure a lot of people feel this way. only too afraid to say so.

I like waking up naturally. I hate alarms.

Asking for a friend: are you Italian? do you speak/are you learning Italian? Are you interested in having conversations with someone i know? who is in Italy but is coming home to NYC soon and has to keep learning Italian? if yes, comment or dm me!

Out with my mother. Orsay.

Coming right up!! Get tickets here: eventbrite.com/e/877637205507 Can't wait to see/hear friends (and family) at this event sponsored by TENSE (Beckett Rosset). Look forward to seeing everyone. Be sure to say hi!! This is going to be great.

Gotta give it to Annie Ernaux (49) and her Russian lover (36)--lord I’m praying for the same lasting power--for getting a lot done in one tryst

Also: no matter how often they fuck, throughout each and every encounter over the course of their relationship--he keeps his socks on.

I’m home. She was so happy to see me. The ‘grand’ hello (jumping, hitting me with her paw, pushing her butt into me) went on for ten minutes.

Joan Didion: “Making judgments on films is in many ways so peculiarly vaporous an occupation that the only question is why, beyond the obvious opportunities for a few lecture fees and a little careerism at a dispiritingly self-limiting level, anyone does it in the first place.”

Spent some time in here. 👍

Getting ready to take off for NY. I was relieved of duty for this one so I’m going to sit back and relax.

The music was so hot had to cool down the interface
