it’s october, it’s raining like hell, the leaves are simultaneously crunchy and wet, and i’m going on my little walks, i’m sitting by my window, i’m laying in bed and staring at the ceiling, and i’m looking at my little screens.

this essay is insane (derogatory)

my paglia-understander era started in september but i gave it a little break because i felt like my brain was melting. i’m reading some of paglia’s essays from her book sex, art, and american culture. my thoughts so far? i now understand the red scare ladies a lot better, and paglia is, for the most part, nuts. she takes ideological consistency on her own libertarian ideas to heart, to the point where you can see that libertarian beliefs are deeply flawed.
