“Snaking through the midst of the banal everyday is a deep weirdness, a world of flowerings , decompositions, and seepages, of a million creeping things, of spores and lacy fungal filaments, of minerals reacting and things being eaten away — all just on the other side of the chain-link fence.”

In this episode, I play a song by Doctor Israel; I am having a surprisingly good summer; shooting off fireworks was so much fun; our stupid inflatable pool is actually kind of great; not playing all-star softball changes your summer; the older big names in comic books can charge quite a lot for autographs; Michael Golden autographs gave me buyer’s remorse; I am camping by myself this summer; I was tempted by the boat-in camping spots; I traveled for work and never really cared; the idea that you must travel internationally to be well-rounded is classist; sacrificing personal life for your job will never be rewarded in proportion to what you give up; build yourself a healthy savings cushion so you don’t have to suffer with jobs you hate.

“The fact that the “nothing” that I propose is only nothing from the point of view of capitalist productivity explains the irony that a book called How to Do Nothing is in some ways also a plan of action. “

Reading Jenny Odell’s “How To Do Nothing” the weekend after I quit my job is the most self-affirming, gratifying reading experience I’ve ever had.

I just started reading «How to Do Nothing» by Jenny Odell, at the suggestion of @alibenjamin and I love it already! «It is within a blasted landscape of neoliberal determinism that this book seeks hidden springs of ambiguity and inefficiency. This is a four-course meal in the age of Soylent.»
