This is really great writing. I think you’d get a kick out of listening to the AI voice read it aloud.

I think this piece would be more successful with a little more nuance. It's clear you have a strong feelings, but painting your adversaries as a homogeneous group of idiots isn't really very interesting either.

Can we talk about the corporate cum in your eyes thing with a bit more nuance? Just to bring all sides to the table? Let’s make it a trauma-informed healing discussion

Approaching the interaction with more curiosity or empathy for the other person's perspective would have been more interesting to me. But, I get that this was intended to be a rant not a think piece.

She was REALLY mean to me for absolutely no reason. Like so out of pocket mean that I couldn’t really believe at the time that she was saying what she was saying. I should have slapped her. But I have this and this is better

This is very hateful and not constructive.

I see beauty there, one of Malevich punking out and filling the square with black, but these ideas are not the kind that grow and becomes something.

I wonder if author means it.

I mean… yeah we suck and we are moralizers. We try to reach out and resist the drug. And then succumb to it any way just in a different form.

Discarding the damage that done to us and diving into a pool of bile is just as silly.

Hope kinder muses come into your life. 🙏

Fine. Let’s spectacle harder. Let’s turn the resentment into a lipstick line. Let’s leak corporate cum until we’re holy with it.

As opposed to what call to action? Let’s rot in obscurity so our work has zero impact and is essentially just self-indulgent creative masturbation?

This is the interplay. No “easy” answers, just braiding our humanity with cultural practices and tools. What I’m exploring over at earthstar111.substack.com
