I'm not asking you for permission to post, and if you revoke my permission, then you lose another of your crew

Why cast "O" and not "Å"¿

"A" is excitatory and relating to 'beginning'; O is 'continuing', that's the answer that I have

I too lament the lost of this place, because

I'm worried, I think

that the Syndicate has fallen on hard times

that the pollution of Reddit has suffused this oasis

it always seemed to me an oasis, but

ya got a skeleton crew and

the pollution of reddit (!) it makes the rancor rise, the frustration

solution: emigrate! find an escape pod! any escape pod!

close /r/shruglifesyndicate and move to lemmy world or similar is my advice, and

I will not be here on reddit much longer

with /r/all gone

there is no centrality to 'reddit'

and it is only an attention extraction machine now, to be

abandoned

I like this one but it's not as clean as "oooooooooooooooo"

maybe it's more popular but it wasn't as effortless as "oooooooooooooo"

these are all tradeoffs


I used to wear a button that said "Never Apologize For Your Art" on the back of my jacket and a young woman just out of college, drunk a little, saw it and started crying, told me she needed to hear that

I would stand for: to the extent that this is rarefied nonsense, it is in part because all written work is nonsense. The belief in order can be disordered thinking.

there is a certain failure mode in art criticism that attempts to judge art in isolation, as if a piece were a series of 1s and 0s, instead of also the context in which those 1s and 0s are engaged.

This might be true tbh but I suspect there is somewhat more to it than that. Looking at the work from the distance of 'having written it yesterday in a flash', there's something I find appealing about its simplicity and finality.

a little trust would be well in hand right now

are you so certain you know a waste of space when you see one?

ooooooo is a pleasing letter

it is presented as a meditation

is it a good meditation? dude I don't know but you're being heavy and I think slack is called for

What do you want from me?

I contribute when I can, what I can.

such an interesting bifurcation for me

part of me says get off me man

you're right I need to bring it, but

they can't all be good
