I'm not sure what "owning the libs" really means. My impression is that it means breaking things progressives love and generally making people on the left mad. But making people mad and breaking things takes no skill. It's easy. What's hard is building things and making people happy.

I read Flesh by David Szalay. It is an exploration of one man’s life: a Hungarian man named István. He is one of those characters who just kind of floats through life, somewhat detached. It is written in a simple minimalist style. To me, it worked. #BookSky

I like buttons. But I do not find them particularly cute.

#vss365 #horror This poem is called ~shackled awake~
