#deeeeeeep issues of regionalism and lack of understanding of tea types in the notes here #but for me personally my fav is Earl Grey #but I don't do non-black non-mint teas bc I hate floral flavors and green is so botanical it makes me gag

#do you ever just lose your mind int he middle of the night about small businesses #and handmade signs #signs pierce my heart like nothing else #also the fact that the pandemic means that I can literally never #probably for the rest of my natural life #eat inside a restaurant #is killing me right now #I have covid for the first time after more than 4 years and it is one thing physically #but it is just devastating emotionally #stuck inside my house losing my mind #anyway I did google this restaurant and apparently #it is featured on the Sopranos #good for Pizzaland

#I think this is an information age issue! I think pre-1960 there is not enough in the historical record about real people's specific lives #(even famous people) #for you to be able to be writing RPF of Winston Churchill and the guys he allegedly fucked at Sandhurst #because you'd have to make too much of it up to be actually treading on their real private lives

“Get a rat and put it in a cage and give it two water bottles. One is just water, and one is water laced with either heroin or cocaine. If you do that, the rat will almost always prefer the drugged water and almost always kill itself very quickly, right, within a couple of weeks. So there you go. It’s our theory of addiction. Bruce comes along in the ’70s and said, “Well, hang on a minute. We’re putting the rat in an empty cage. It’s got nothing to do. Let’s try this a little bit differently.” So Bruce built Rat Park, and Rat Park is like heaven for rats. Everything your rat about town could want, it’s got in Rat Park. It’s got lovely food. It’s got sex. It’s got loads of other rats to be friends with. It’s got loads of colored balls. Everything your rat could want. And they’ve got both the water bottles. They’ve got the drugged water and the normal water. But here’s the fascinating thing. In Rat Park, they don’t like the drugged water. They hardly use any of it. None of them ever overdose. None of them ever use in a way that looks like compulsion or addiction. There’s a really interesting human example I’ll tell you about in a minute, but what Bruce says is that shows that both the right-wing and left-wing theories of addiction are wrong. So the right-wing theory is it’s a moral failing, you’re a hedonist, you party too hard. The left-wing theory is it takes you over, your brain is hijacked. Bruce says it’s not your morality, it’s not your brain; it’s your cage. Addiction is largely an adaptation to your environment. […] We’ve created a society where significant numbers of our fellow citizens cannot bear to be present in their lives without being drugged, right? We’ve created a hyperconsumerist, hyperindividualist, isolated world that is, for a lot of people, much more like that first cage than it is like the bonded, connected cages that we need. The opposite of addiction is not sobriety. The opposite of addiction is connection. And our whole society, the engine of our society, is geared towards making us connect with things. If you are not a good consumer capitalist citizen, if you’re spending your time bonding with the people around you and not buying stuff—in fact, we are trained from a very young age to focus our hopes and our dreams and our ambitions on things we can buy and consume. And drug addiction is really a subset of that.”

Everyone has their own specific "what are you talking about, time is FAKE" moments and one of mine recently was people losing their minds over Orville Peck singing "Cowboys Are Frequently..." with Willie Nelson and clearly not ever having heard of the song before. I was looking at the internet like "how is it possible that people didn't know this song existed when it had a HUGE moment the first time Willie Nelson covered it, tying it in with the release of Brokeback Mountain" and then I looked it up and that was EIGHTEEN YEARS AGO no wonder the kids these days haven't heard of it.

And I remember that night in the mirror There's peace in my soul when I'm near her She don't sing all that much but I still hear her Every night as I try to stay afloat again I wonder will I be out on the road again

#rip to the person who asked him to handwrite this for them after a show #and told him it was the most romantic line of all his songs #and gushed about him loving his wife #only to have him go 'I actually wrote that about my ex girlfriend' #proud of them for not immediately sinking through the pavement #noah reid
