"articulate and compelling re the double standards of aging, still extremely relevant today. i wonder what sontag would think vis abt “looksmaxxing” and the willingness of young people, esp certain young men, to knowingly destroy their bodies for dubious aesthetics that rapidly ages their bodies and shortens their lives… other thoughts: she might celebrate gym girlies. sincere sad violin for conservative women." — 14 hours, 11 min ago

"this guy is insane, as all lovers are, and where i find myself in these words are places of frenzied familiarity—comfort in being part of a long line of necessarily unquieted existences." — Jul 09, 2024 01:08PM
