Satiating the Narrative —
Raising Steam is where I do most of my howling about Politics these days, mixed with fervors about writing, and things I run into while translating — as I am writing at the same time.
Protestors just went clanging by.
Problem is for me, that we are barely learning what they are actually up to w.r.t the money pit. OUR MONEY. Really all of that is from OUR MONEY. Americans think of Taxes as THEIR MONEY.
All we can do is go through the courts… to find out. And be the party that insists, Health is Expanded, Pharma is Regulated, Women are not given Death Penalty for an Abortion, yes they are TAKING IT THAT FAR.
To keep us from going to war over Trumps EGO. Or for that matter, turning Gaza into a party strip….
Medicare and Medicaid remain available. Corporations DONT GET AN ENTIRELY FREE RIDE.
That like us, with our social security, there’s a base comes out, except its not social security, its corporate responsibility.
And if they are on the stock market, if they do dividends or buybacks, they are absolutely no two ways around it, required to pay a minimum, that depends on how much they share with shareholders. Corporations on the Market are an Entity in their own right. If they go to the market to be capitalized, then they are responsible to contribute. PERIOD.
That it is used for Security, and ALSO that it becomes part of the Community Chest to cover SERVICES, for government to RUN SMOOTHLY.
Not chaotically.
We are not asking our workers to do seventeen hour shifts. Even if musk has to work constantly just to stay sane…
Designated Driver
Have been calling this substack, my Research newsletter, but that doesn’t quite cut it. It really doesn’t. Although a large portion of it is research.
Thinking to change to Dusty’s Lit Pit. Instead. DONE. Actually change is free, ongoing…
Does Lit Pit spoof and denigrate. I don’t know… Denigration is part of traumatic spoofing, negatives allure.
NOVEL
Really really really working on NOVEL.
ONE SECTION ONLY at a time over at my site. Site has begun to get almost as many hits there as I do here. Sometimes even more.
That said, am compiling Novel now, using the Scriv.
The Tops
A most important thing - why I feel research has to be broad — is that I am looking to create an equilibrium between rhyme and narrative, seriousness of cartoons, surface and negative spaces… in use of language.
Murakami —-
And not leave any of it out because of Naysayers at The Watchspring, or passages through h’enemy central. Which is part of Murakami too. The descent into cosmos… through loneliness, trauma, absurd levels of desire.
Time vs Shrine
I have brought in Diderot, the writer says to herself, in order to apply distance through time, that writers who dont publish because of other things they do, extend to, as a feelie, in form and sentiment.
Time creates a shrine through love and death… As both a constant and consent. Says suddenly Santa Muerte.
“I’m going to let it shine…”
