It's summer right now in the southern hemisphere & the city streets are scorching hot. I like to imagine I'm in the film Wild at Heart by David Lynch, cruising through the desert with my crazy lover. Very very weird on top.

It's this minimalist launcher that helps get rid of your internet/screen addiction. I've tried a lot of different apps but I like this the most. Before going into an app you have to select how much time you'd like to spend in (on?) it, & when the time is up, the app is closed. Also!! you can block any app for a certain period of time. What I like about this is that you CANNOT go into the app after you've blocked it, like, you can't simply get rid of the timer or add more time. I've currently blocked instagram and pinterest for a week (as an experiment). We'll see what happens!
Also: you can choose the color and the font.

I recently listened to Unknown Pleasures again. I'd forgotten what a hauntingly beautiful album it is. It really takes you to this phantasmagoric & grey Manchester; not to all its post-industrial hopelessness, but rather the human heat and vulnerability of the post-punk scene.
When I turned 20 a friend recommended that I give Joy Division a listen. I had seen T-shirts with the album cover in it, but I'd never listened to anything by them (admittedly because I thought people who wore said T-shirts were quite annoying). My friend took away all of this apprehension of mine when she told me a bit of Ian Curtis's story and recommended I read a chapter in "Ghosts of My Life" by Mark Fisher talking about the band.
The first time I listened to Disorder I wept, jumped, danced, cried. The music came as if from a distant radio, the sound mystifying and electric, sending shocks through the body, making the heart pump blood in beat. I didn't live what Ian Curtis lived. Argentina is astronomically different from the UK, the 21st century very different from the 20th. But, nonetheless, I think in these times of generalized feelings of impending doom, we're all searching for a guide to come and take us by the hand.
As I always say, at times where the hopelessness gets heavy, there's nothing quite as heart-wrenchingly freeing as dancing to Joy Division.
