Fresh air, the sight of trees--these are birthrights and pleasures that we seem bent on extinguishing. Some animals we've turned out to be. We have never in our species' history respected Nature's limits.

Nothing newsworthy, you might correctly assert, about the public performance of illness. Death's dress rehearsal is ongoing at any bus stop in America, where sick people beg us not for minutes of sleep but for metallic dollar-flakes, wealth dandruff. Long before the sleep crisis, our downtown was a maze of sidewalk asylums. Immobilized people form a human shrubbery behind the courthouse, their lips whispering, their pink and brown palms extended, flat fronds shivering with need. Which is all to say: nothing the least bit strange to us, about public psychosis.

sleep donation - karen russell
finished late nov 22
so haunting. the descriptions of the sleep illness, and in particular the fears surrounding the donation pool, were so vivid. every time the main character invoked her sister, and ultimately her change in relation to that story, was so fascinating. i could really feel her uncertainty about her place in the 'pandemic' through the whole thing, super well done.

with the news of sleep token signing with rca (its huge, super proud of the guys- really hoping rca doesn’t fuck them over)
i just want to say: free palestine. rca supports israel which is hella unfortunate. but i also want to say don’t conflate the label’s morals with the band. there are plenty of bands signed by rca that support palestine- bring me the horizon is a very notable example!
i also doubt we’ll get any statement from the band so do with that what you will. they haven’t spoken on anything like this before, i doubt they’ll start now.
so in closing, i leave you with this. click the button once a day to donate to palestine 🇵🇸

being 30 so far is just like ‘you will go through the most cataclysmic mental anguish of your life but you actually heal from it this time. also you have hip dysplasia. go to the doctor more often.’

Thinking about a lot of things but mainly of how Terry Pratchett writes tiredness.
(Which means I’m mainly thinking of Sam Vimes. Which is normal.)
But he gets it so right.
The feeling behind your eyeballs. Stealing time from your future self with coffee, and, when the coffee doesn’t work anymore, going on sheer bloody mindedness because you cannot stop, you can’t. Not being sure when you last had real sleep. The strange state of mind you land in where you should absolutely not be tested because everything’s on a hair trigger, and things feel like they’re moving through treacle and your ability to make decisions feels shot to hell so you can only hope that you’re making the right choices.
Not Terry Pratchett’s words, if course, but I can’t get to my bookshelf at the moment, and, if I could, I’m not sure that I can read anymore. 
I’m tired, is what I’m getting at.
And Terry Pratchett writes the whole spectrum of being human so brilliantly, but, damn, how he nails down being tired.
