Over at Decoding TV, me and my co-host, David Chen, reacted to the entire first season of the Fallout TV series, and continue to recap the exceptional (though seemingly ignored??) HBO show, The Sympathizer. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-16-reacting-to-the-fallout-of-fallout-season-1/id1163344992?i=1000654285711

JustinOaksford,

@patrickklepek Ah! Good to know I'm not the only one watching the sympathizer. Thought it was weird how little I'm hearing about it.

Have you ever thought, "If only we could tax companies who pay people over a million dollars and put that money into high quality, climate friendly, permanently affordable public housing"?

Do you also happen to live and vote in the city of Seattle?

I have good news!
www.letsbuildsocialhousing.org

Keep an eye out for signature gatherers like these two doofs pictured here for I-137, and\or tell your friends in the Seattle City limits to do so as well!

JustinOaksford,

We need to collect a staggering amount of signatures; over 30,000 individual, on-paper signatures of registered voters with the correct voting address in the span of a few months, but we did it last year to create the social housing developer and now there's a fleet of passionate volunteers out to do even more this time around.

I don't really know how to talk about this but; In my opinion, every artist's mental health would benefit to have a space- probably a sketchbook- in which their purpose is specifically not to produce artifacts, but the opposite; to decouple the joy of art making from the production of an artifact

JustinOaksford,

In our current landscape, almost anything you do as an artist, you will be evaluating through a lens of capitalist productivity. Almost nothing you do as an artist, can you fully separate from capitalism. But these spaces are essential for your mental health.

JustinOaksford,

Think of it as building a sand castle; you do not build a sand castle to make a nice castle; you do it purely for the feeling of it; of pushing, pulling, carving, molding; the joy of solving the puzzle that is sand, knowing specifically that it will all fade with the tide.

JustinOaksford,

In fact, if sand castles didn't wash away, we wouldn't feel as much joy in making them. They would occupy space, or we would seek to save them somehow. But the point of making a sand castle isn't the greatness of what you make, it's the joy of making it.

JustinOaksford,

You must have a place where you're free not to be "good", or "improve", where no other person's joy is considered but your own. There is no status here, there is no fame, no fortune, no efficiency. It is all love, and it is a love that is intentionally meaningless to everyone else, like a dream.

~Come with me and you'll be

In a world of pure limitation,

Take a look and you'll see

Constraints, beyond your imagination~
