Haters part 1

If every you’ve found any individual intelligent, attractive or talented there has been another person who found them threatening.
It’s natural. It’s hard hard to accept one’s own limitations and the ego may react by creating a delusion to reaffirm one’s worth in a system. Unfortunately in order to sustain this delusion homeostasis an individual compulsively utilizes lies, half-truths and treachery.
It is important to remember this individual is suffering from an illness. Their insecurity seems insurmountable and this ,to them, is the ONLY way they can deal with it. It is important to remember not to engage them, they are irrational and therefore whatever you try to convey to them will only be misconstrued and resented.

Killer Mike is my favorite rapper.

I was stressed out from double booking but it ended up being awesome.. I had a great time at disco and ruby room. People ended up going crazy dancing and it was sooooo fun the hours melted by and before I knew it I was at home watching law and order alone and remembering I forgot to play a brandy song I’d intended to. Thanks to everyone who came out! I really appreciate it and I’m sure disco, gabby and ruby room all appreciated it too! Today I spent the day at the ashby flea market where I bought this stilleto and this “SEND BACK EVIL” oil.

I saw this video and thought Alan Moore gave an inspirational and coherent example of anarchist art within a capitalism system working to promote the principals of anarchism. He also brings up the fundamental differences in English and American ideologies reflected through the lens of graphic novels. He brings up, what to me, is the most powerful anarchist notions: the self reliance to act on what you feel to change or create the things that bureaucracy has failed to.
