bought this 2” thick tome by a burlington-based author, a few days after seeing it advertised in our local paper. it’s good, but as expected, i can only handle it in spurts. https://www.sevendaysvt.com/arts-culture/books-arts-culture/new-disaster-comic-depicts-the-roots-of-mass-extermination/

listening to ram das on the way to a kurt vile show felt right. kurt’s energy is so low-ego, he radiates letting-go to the crowd through his slacker unconcern

been off the art habit for too long that i was starting to get itchy. here’s one of my favorite barns. i fear it’ll be torn down soon because it’s so very close to the road, leany, and clearly not in use. #watercolor #paint #art #vermont

Hallam had a heavy, wise answer when asked what success looked like if the resistance wins. he said you flat out cannot ask that without doing the spiritual work to deeply commit to the cause, otherwise you’ll burn out if your headspace is too individual. great talk. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_QSJimUWwM4&amp;ra=m

malls stand out here. they’re full of stores, people, and look like what america’s malls would if ours never died. like many of the interesting things here, it’s because poland joined the capitalism game late. if they indeed are following the same path, their malls won’t be around long either.

noticing far fewer obese people at Polish beaches as well as inland. i think the reasons have to do with infrastructure: very walkable cities, less fast food, less eating out in general, and the big one - cleaner food. rules that can stand up to big food.
