If you're convinced you're successfully coping with daily life by using drugs and alcohol, try making an honest list of every substance you consume in a week, how much of each, how often, and what that all costs, then could you send it to me? I really think I'm getting close to making this work.

It is so boring and annoying to police other people. But yeah the 92NY is still doing zionist programming. Artforum is still under boycott. Genocide is still happening!!! The cultural front is still a battleground!
