Future challenges for America? Continuing to aggressively believe that we are ‘the’ powerhouse that ‘deserves’ to dictate how civilians of other countries spend their lives—that no other country should possess equal or similar ‘power’ in any sense. We are the solipsistic coyote forever pursuing a roadrunner we were conditioned to perceive as “weaker” or “inefficient” or “dumb.” YOU’RE WEARING A BURKA IN PUBLIC?! WELL, I’M GOING TO SNICKER ABOUT IT WITH MY FRIEND HERE AND PRETEND YOU CAN’T HEAR US! We will forever invent new ways to pursue the roadrunner we were conditioned to ‘perceive’ and never ‘know.’ Once we have that roadrunner in our widely celebrated crosshairs—no matter its gender or its explicitly proclaimed identity—we will kill it in the name of our forefathers. We will kill it the name of a flawed language scrawled on parchment. We will carry its corpse back to our bed and have our way with it. We are Men and Women, but we are always Men first. We are History, no? We are the Hammer and the Musculature. The Inventor of the Wheel. We must Impress before we Die. We must feel something temporary—mustn’t we? That temporary comfort is worth the suffering of innocents, no?
No?

“Being human should not be an ideal for humankind, which is human by fate, being human has to be the way I as a living thing obeying through freedom the path of living things, am human. And I don’t even need to take care of my soul, it will fatefully take care of me, and I don’t need to make a soul for myself: I just have to choose to live. We are free, this is Hell. But there are so many cockroaches that it seems like a prayer.”
-Clarice Lispector, The Passion according to G.H.

“I intuit that Crush Dream (‘a minion of [LC’s] definition’) is not so much a place where light is opposed to dark (or even where light is stated as a relief of dark states), but where dark darns dark (“you are somehow famous inside of the darkness of your ordering”) into a loving zone which makes more and more dark visible (‘love is encompassed in dark animals’).” -j/j hastain via Big Other](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mc6gna8Zis1r7p7p0o1_500.jpg)

Rosemary’s Baby (1966)
A Beckett joke. A Beckett joke on Twitter! That was what lead me to publish Confessions from a Dark Wood.
Just like the origin story of the second book I published through Sator Press—the angel in the dream of our hangover—it’s Twitter that brought me to another brilliant writer. After…
Bad Kids is a short film my friend Dominic co-directed earlier this year. His next film project is a documentary that chronicles the lives of several U.S. fursuiters.

(There’s just 8 days left to make a donation.)
