What is going on is the disintegration of capitalism as a world system, not because it can't guarantee welfare for the vast majority (it never could do that) but because it can no longer ensure that capitalists will have the endless accumulation of capital that is their raison d'être." -Immanuel Wallerstein
"Slowly the representatives that formerly symbolized families, groups, and orders disappear from the stage they dominated during the epoch of the name. We witness the advent of the number. It comes along with democracy, the large city, administrations, cybernetics. It is a flexible and continuous mass, woven tight like a fabric with neither rips nor darned patches, a multitude of quantified heroes who lose names and faces as they become the ciphered river of the streets, a mobile language of computations and rationalities, that belong to no one." -Michel de Certeau
"'Es mejor callar si lo que se va a decir no es más bello que el silencio', fue lo primero que le oí a mi duende en la primera vez que se me apareció... Desde esa vez, y a lo largo de toda mi vida, he tratado de seguir el consejo de mi duende. No hablar más de lo necesario. Oír más que hablar. Después me dediqué a la escritura, y bien se sabe que escribir es hablar en silencio (y el que habla en silencio, con Dios habla)." -Hernán River Letelier, Romance del duende que me escribe las novelas
"Santiago de Chile" by Silvio Rodríguez is a hauntingly beautiful song. I don't believe in linear narratives. And I take myself way too seriously. Sort of a lifelong struggle. Which is why I make bad jokes. All the time. About everything. All the time. It's pretty much a passion.
If you've never listened to Laura Gibson, put on "Hands in Pockets" - it will change your life. Changes mine every time.
"my rectum will quiver at the cold touch of my plastic lover's nuclear winter" -orit, lusty busty horsedick
Feminism, marxism, and queer liberation are sort of my life, but it gets hidden behind coffee and indie rock.
