It’s odd to me that coquette-ish aesthetic reading has turned to like Didion and Babitz and not Anaïs Nin and Colette who did that kind of thing in a much less tersely American, “dreamy, tender” way. Seems few young ppl read Anaïs Nin without whom we could not have e.g. Ernaux

met an honest-to-god himbo today. immediately after we had sex this man asks me for my number, gets up, goes to the fridge, starts drinking whole milk straight from the jug, and starts monologuing about the time he did psychedelic toads with a shaman in Mexico

Pulling this one out of the drafts. Upon reflection it’s clear that it’s a vestigial feature of that tendency being rooted in Dimes Squareish fetishism of midcentury American literary chic. My hope for this year is that people embrace the diary as a tool for self-experimentation!

people (including myself) lambast uchicago for being disengaged and theoretical. but amid the panic, students have organized to help each other move, to figure shit out, to give each other our all. this community is built on love. i’ve never been so proud to be a uchicago student

this supreme court decision is incredibly angering to say the least. it's scary that the logic of the (poorly-reasoned and written) opinion authored by Alito stands to threaten all sorts of other rights not explicitly guaranteed by a literal reading of the constitution
