You fall in love with Kafka & he prepares you to one day discover & fall in love with Gogol, who makes you fall in love again anew with Kafka, & so on & so forth. At some point, Tanpinar enters the ménage to make it à trois.
Quote Tweet
“I distinctly recall […] reading “The Judgment” aloud and bursting out laughing […] Later I learned that Kafka himself would erupt into laughter while reading his stories to his friends, and I was surprised only that this was portrayed as surprising.” nytimes.com/2023/02/02/opi

There is time

to show you the way
light slants

Death is defeat in finite play…
Infinite players die not at the end of play, but in the course of play…
Infinite players offer their death as a way of continuing the play…
Infinite players do not play for themselves.

99.9% of gun owners may be law abiding, but they allow the .1% to hold millions of us hostage to daily carnage. This is a grave injustice, that no one takes responsibility for. We are Americans, born free, in chains forged by the gun lobby and manufacturers who profit off death.

PSA if you are sharing photos of Dr King today - make sure they are in color. The proliferation & extensive use of black & white of Dr King are meant to trick into thinking he is from a "bygone" era. Its a trick. So today share color photos - #MLKDay

They are so sick & twisted & sexist… it’s just…

When Roe was overturned, Alabama AG Steve Marshall assured voters the state's abortion ban would never criminalize women.
This weekend, his office told a conservative reporter they plan to get around that promise by arresting women using a *different law* jessica.substack.com/p/republicans-

"Light is in us, even if we have no eyes," wrote French resistance member Jacques Lusseyran.
Blinded as a child, he used his strong memory and language skills to assist the resistance. He was arrested in 1943 and survived for nearly 15 months in Buchenwald.
