Getting off my ass and getting on my knees instead (sorta)
Going gangbusters over my BLSV (Big Lisa Simpson Vibes)
And thrifted for cheap if you could believe it!!!
I found her for $15 at Goodwill and I was taken by the simplicity and sweetness of her shape and loved the little storage compartment on the left. It took me a while to realize that you can push in the circle on the topmost center panel to lift them up and expose a hidden shelf underneath! I have a dedicated office space but I use it for yoga and Pilates too so I love that I can avoid being psychologically and energetically terrorized by my work laptops and equipment—this would be a great feature for someone who lives in a one-bedroom or studio and you could use it as a multipurpose working surface! I’ve been delusionally telling myself that I want to refinish it and line the shelf and compartment with ornate floral contact paper… we shall see about that but I’m happy with it even in its current state. Still seeking the perfect chair at the perfect seat height that sings to me
1. Scroll the "everyone" feed (almost completely ignore that home/friends page)
2. Like gratuitously
3. Follow people who post things you like
4. I try to be brave and comment when feeling moved I don't search or look for anything in particular, personally, unless I'm about to post something and curious if others have done so already. Just let the river float by and enjoy the ride
I know slavoj zizek is a fucking loser now, but his movie A Pervert's Guide to Ideology was the first piece of media that began to rub away the sheen/shellac of pretense that the world operates smoothly. It was my first time really engaging with a Marxian analysis and sitting with it. I was in high school, and it set me up to care about critical theory. From this movie, I'd read Mark Fisher's really quick book "Capitalist Realism: is there no alternative?" Fisher grounds a lot of his theory in culture/media in a very similar way to Zizek.
After that, I'd follow recommendations made by others in the thread!
