everyone is against me

January 31, 2012
I have a reoccurring nightmare where a woman with a regional accent cuts my hair so that I have a pixie cut instead of long luxurious hair and also attaches fake bangs on the front and makes me get a nose piercing

then i get a rash all over my face

and the whole time i try to get out of the chair but I can’t move at all

it’s so horrible that people do those things voluntarily

January 31, 2012
the little clasp things on cheap chains give me body horror

when i see the back of a person’s neck and that little garbage mechanism I just shudder

Tom Hardy talks about where he was on 9/11:

“I was at a wig-fitting. I was doing a French Foreign Legion film, and I was going out to North Africa, Morocco. We’d just done ‘Black Hawk Down,’ and they shelved that immediately. There were a lot of war films that year being made. A lot of work was being done in North Africa. Everyone had started panicking. And I was executing holy men in a scene three days later in a mosque in Morocco. It was a thing called ‘Simon, French Foreign Legion Deserter’ it ended up being called. So it was a very odd situation to be in because there I was playing a soldier in North Africa. We had a plane on standby to get us out if anything kicked off.
Immediately, it was a life-changing event. I have friends who serve, I have a lot of friends in special forces, I have very, very close friends who deal in very serious operations all over the Middle East that were affected post-9/11 … I’m still really thrown by the loss and the amount of people on that day, and that whole situation, to be honest.
I’m a bit thrown. I’ve got friends who were in the building, in the twin towers. I have friends who are servicemen, what can you say?”

I feel so bad for all the people who run away to join the legion, then realize that since the legion is self contained that the odds are that they’ll be a truck driver or a cook instead of a world weary but battle hardened desert rogue

The late Franz Borkenau once said, after he had broken with the
Communist Party, that he could no longer put up with the practice of discussing municipal regulations in the categories of Hegelian logic, and Hegelian logic in the spirit of meetings of the town council. Such contaminations, which date back to Hegel himself, bind Lukacs to that cultural level which he would like to raise to his own.

The Hegelian critique of the ‘unhappy consciousness’, the impulse, so powerful in speculative philosophy, to rise above the merely superficial ethos of isolated subjectivity, all this becomes in his hands an ideology for bigoted party officials who have not even reached the level of subjectivity. Their aggressive narrow-mindedness, a legacy of the backwardness of the petty bourgeoisie in the 19th century, is lent a spurious dignity by the attempt to interpret it as an adaptation to reality freed from the shackles of mere individuality. But a true dialectical leap is not one which leaps out of the dialectic itself and transforms the unhappy consciousness simply by the force of conviction into a happy collusion, at the expense of the objective social and technical factors governing artistic production.

Based on such foundations the would-be loftier standpoint must necessarily remain abstract, in accordance with a proposition of Hegel’s from which Lukacs would hardly dissent. The desperate attempt at a profundity intended to counter the imbecility of the boy-meets-tractor literature, does not protect him from declamatory statements which are at once abstract and childish : ‘The more general the significance of the theme of a work of art, and the deeper writers probe into different aspects of the laws and tendencies governing reality, the more completely will this reality be transformed into a purely or predominantly socialist society, and the closer will grow the ties between critical realism and socialist realism. In the process the negative (but: non-rejecting) perspective of critical realism wIll gradually be transformed into a positive (affirmative), a socialist perspective’ (p. 114). The jesuitical distinction between the negative ‘but non-rejecting’ and the positive (affirmative) perspective shifts the problems of literary quality into that same sphere of pre­ ordained convictionswhich Lukacs wants most to escape from

Anonymous asked: i want to understand the world the way that you understand it. but mostwhat i read feels so confusing, like i can't get a full picture of what is being said, so every moment risks me at being lead astray! or otherwise it is just way too dense and impenetrable. the things you say form sort of a backbone for my understanding, and i try to read new things through this lens, but im not really sure of this approach either. I lack the ability to discern truth, and trust others' discernments toomuch!

oh don’t worry. I’ve been led astray a thousand times. it just leads to greater understanding later. don’t worry about fully committing to something that may be proved wrong. if it’s  wrong, you’ll figure it out and go on with a greater understanding

Anonymous asked: How can a girl dress well

well the secret to dressing ~well~ as in wearing clothes in a way that flatters you and makes you look like an attractive put together person starts with the body.  if you have a good posture, and this depends on your body type, like if you have an adolescent lanky body then you can hunch over, but if you’re fit and 25 then you’ll look like you have a bone disorder if you hunch over.  so a healthy body positioned properly is half of the fight

then you want clothing that fits you perfectly, investing in a good alterer-tailor will make cheap clothing look expensive, and make expensive clothing worth all the money.  you could also pay to have your clothes made just for you.  

fit is another 50%

color is the next 50%, figure out the right colors for you, this is easy enough, if you need to spot check just hold something up under your face in a mirror, if it drains the color from you and makes you look like you’re dying of poison, then it’s a bad color. if it makes you look alive and vivacious, then it’s a good color. 

once you have those things, you’re safe

the next 50% is proprotion, this means wearing shapes that flatter your body. lots of really short and stocky women love to wear capri pants whichi make them look even shorter and stockier.  mastering proportion  means wearing clothes that don’t make you look like an optical illusion.  You have to remember that you exist in 3 dimensions, but clothes sometimes force you into 2. this is when you must be cautious

once you master proportion, color, fit, and posture, you’ll never look bad, everything past  that is mastery. so when you have those things down you can get into serious pattern and texture matching, you can experiment and alter things, once you have that framework you’re freee to tear down or attach things and become the beautiful monster that your parents tortured you for ages in hopes of your becoming

squatters fuck me off

go live in a homeless shelter you lazy shits

hahaha its not like the city of london has the highest rent in the entire world because of all the criminal oligarchs and financial fraudmen buying up all the real estate and charging insane prices.  that didn’t at all create a new class of squatters priced out of their own city,

also, if rent was reasonable, the city wouldn’t be filled with vacant buildings to be squatted in. real estate is the dirtiest non financial services industry.

it’s not like some gulf emir bought the entire street of saville row and increased rent 8fold, and could be the person who ends hundreds of years of english tradition because of gross fucking speculation, and the fact that one cannot be a saville row tailor, by law, if one does not work on saville row
